Camera Stolen We had finally checked into The Local 2, where we were supposed to be staying in the first place, and settled into our complimentary penthouse suite. It was stupidly big for the two of us and had its own balcony and BBQ. It is run by an Aussie lady and serves Kangaroo and Crocodile, as you do. On our second day of staying here we decided to head out and visit the Royal Palace and some other touristy stuff. The main street looks out to the river and...

Phnom Penh We took a 6 hour cab from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh and arrived at around 9pm. We had booked to stay in The Local 2 but when we arrived, there was a problem, our room had somehow been double booked. We went in search of somewhere else to stay for two nights but nowhere had even one night.

Angkor Wat! The day we arrived in Cambodia we were met with extreme heat. With this in mind we asked a worker at the guesthouse what the best time to go to the Angkor Wat temples would be. To our horror she replied with the number 6 followed by an a.m. We were exhausted and the thought of having to get up that early filled us with terror. So we completely ignored the advice of an experienced local and opted for 8.30 instead. This was an error. We didn't reach...

Cambodia To get to Cambodia, we first had to get a short flight to Bangkok from Chiang Mai. It was quite sad to say goodbye as we had a great time there with Dave, Nuiy, Mutley and Fat Dog. Yeah, they called one of their dogs Fat Dog. Oh, and Sachwon who drove us everywhere, including the airport at 5.30. He was so happy about that. It was early and the plane was 3/4 full of retard, sorry, retired Americans who were all part of the same huge tour. It was as if ...
