Hi all, as you can see from the title I survived Cambodia without stepping on a landmine. Hope all is well with you. Well I think it has been a while since I shot an email around. So apologies if this is a little on the long side. Yesterday I finished my tour in Cambodia and flew back to Bangkok. So now I have 5 days in Bangkok by myself to chill out.
