Following a week on remote desert islands, it was time to fly to the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur with our favorite no frills airline, Air Asia. After an adequate 2 hour flight on the only plane at Krabi airport, we touched town in KL. On arrival to the airport and after 4 and a half weeks of fasting we finally succumed to the golden arches and had our first glorious McDonalds of the trip. Disappointingly we only managed to equal our 7 value meal collaborative r...

As free internet has become something of a luxury since leaving Hanoi we have a lot to cover in this latest blog entry. So in order to stave off the possibility of this sending you into a deep sleep we suggest a large caffine based drink to help you reach the end of this latest blog......

We all wondered if there were any Cambodian t...

Getting up for a bus at 6am is not fun. Minibus picked us up from NapPark hostel and took us as far as the Cambodian border. 400 baht each for the minibus seemed decent value as we were expecting to be taken all the way to Siem Reap. We stopped 2 miles from the border, after a 5 hour drive, to swap minibuses, have a bite to eat (worst meal of the trip so far) and fill out paperwork for our Cambodian entry visa (costing us US$35 dollars, $15 more than we should ha...
