Southeast Asia

Phnom Penh Revisited We had a conversation with a very well traveled gentlemen who disagreed with my less than favorable opinions of Phnom Penh. He told me that he found the city to be developing nicely. He commented that what ever city you visit fi...

Weltreise 2006

In Darwin checken wir in Chillis Backpacker Hostel ein. Unser Plan, die Westkueste entlang zu reisen, platzt innerhalb einer Minute, da zwischen Darwin und Broome alle Strassen ueberschwemmt sind und es auch zwischen Broome und Perth sieben Zyklone gab...

 

CAMBODIA

We arrived in Cambodia by boat from Thailand, and discovered very quickly that the Cambodians aren't the world's greatest sea farers, even in the calmest of waters! We also had our first encounter with the joy that is Cambodian Karaoke - a recent devic...

Wednesday 11th April I Woke at 5am as train rattled into Hanoi. I met Aaron and Natalie at the front of the station and we took a taxi back to the same hotel, where we had breakfast because nowhere else was open before 8am. Then I took a ta...

 

Southeast Asia

It's a bit late, but Happy New Year to all and thanks for the New Year Wishes. Sorry I haven't updated this in a while, but internet service has been abysmal here in China. It's taking 30 to 40 seconds to load each page right now and this has been th...

 

Cambodia

CAMBODIA Flights were certainly not cheap to Siem Reap, but we’d been told by so many people that to come to this part of the world and not see Ankgor Wat and the other magnificent Kmher temples in this part of Cambodia would be just plain daft. So we...

 

Cambodia

A quick update for a brief section of our trip. The final leg of our circular South East Asia trip was a 10 day trip through Cambodia before heading back to Bangkok. Our method of arrival was via speedboat, the luxurious option compared to another butt...

 

Cambodia

Our Mekong Delta tour finished by boat taking us to the vietnam-cambodia border. Despite having read about all manner of scams and expected difficulties it really couldn't have been easier...i think we were lucky to have a really efficient guide who o...

 

Australia - SouthEast Asia 2006

La capital Vietnamita nos recibio con los primeros 26 del viaje, casi senti que tenia frio. Nuevamente, taxi, 100cc, 2 ruedas, 2 personas y mi gran mochila. Recorrimos, diferentes hoteles, nada que valiera los 10 dolares por 2 personas que suelen c...

 

flying north for summer

We've been reading more about the history of this place, and yesteray went to a film about Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, so we're slowly managing to understand a bit more of the dismal past of Cambodia - although the more you learn about it the less it ...

 

Cambodia

The difference hits you as soon as you cross the border from Thailand, though I couldn't put my finger on it. The simple wooden huts on their picturesque stilts are the same, but where in Thailand the effect was an air of rustic simplicity, in Cambodi...

 

Chasing Winters aka A Blind Man's Guide To S.E.Asia

So now it’s finally onto Cambodia. A Dutch couple travelling the opposite direction told us to expect a two and a half hour bus trip from where the boat berths. Jason came to the conclusion that we should expect the worst. The worst I’d heard was that ...

 

Updated overview: The world according to Graham and Nick 2006/7

1/12/06 Well three months into the trip and we thought we would give you an update of the grand plan, where we will be when etc as it has changed since we set off. We stayed longer in the states, cut short the stay in Tahiti and have extended our stay...

 

Backpacking South East Asia: Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore

After a butt-bruising bus ride from Siem Reap, Cambodia to the Thailand border, one could only breathe a sigh of relief as Thailand offered smooth, paved roads and double decked, padded seated buses. It was as if the border was the invisible line of a...

Cambodia

The boarder crossing was not bad at all we, just had to pay one dollar extra as we did not have a vaccination card, they did not make us wait any longer than usual. We had a bus waiting to take us to Phnom Penh but do you think we could find it no!...

 

Cambodia 2006

After 2 days on the Mekong Delta we finally made it to Cambodia and Phnom Penh. We checked into the Grand View Guest house for the night, it is really cheap but the rooms are what you pay for, so extremely small and only fans, but then again we are ...

 

S.E ASIA 2006

We had a little less than a week to fill in before meeting Chris (Andrews older brother)in Laos so decided to spend it on yet another tropical island! We didn't have enough time or funds to get down to the desired southern Thailand islands so we settle...

 

Two months in Southeast Asia

Today was one of the toughest days on my journey thus far. I was dragged forcibly to float down the river on an inner tube, stopping at rope swings and watering holes along the way. It was just horrendous. When we wanted to pause at a pit stop, we had ...

 

Don't slam the door behind you on the way out....

The original plan was to spend xmas in Koh Pha-Ngan for the full-moon parties - but the forecast wasn't good, so we headed off Krabbi with the intention of going to Koh Phi Phi (aka "The Beach"). We stopped off in Krabbi (which was really nic...

 

Cambodia

After a long 8 hr trip along a very bumby dirt rd, finally got to Siam Reap. We got a 3 day pass to the Temples so we got scootered around in our little tuk tuk for 3 days which was really fun, we had a great driver who was very friendly (named Sky). T...
