Bye bye busy and hectic bangkok - catch a flight to Krabi and then ferry across to Phi Phi (Pee pee - ha ha ha). Paradise! Such a beautiful place and so fun and relaxed. When we arrive, people are there helping us find a place to stay - Anisha and Sharan make the guy take us around 4-5 places - we land on our feet and stay in a cute little guest house - shoes off before going in, as is the tradition in this country. So what do you do on a gorgeous tropical islan...

Hahahahaha - Bangkok!! Get!? No? Oh well, here we were at last, the end of the road for the Intrepid travellers - a long way from where we began in Beijing, China and with several cast members having switched up - but the hardcore remained. We danced along in the bus all the way from Cambodia to the border - the Government deliberately keeping the road less travel friendly so people don't pop in and out from Thailand to Angkor Wat? hmmm. We walked across the bo...

Siem ReapWell first the good news. Siem reap was pretty cool and buzzy, lots of places to go out and a stone's throw from Angkr Wat - the massive temple city that Cambodia and Thailand are always fighting over. The first of the organised trips took most of the group to an orphanage from HIV and land mine victims. The kids were great fun, we had shopped earlier for them in yet another local market - nice to see fresh chicken being prepared i.e. getting their throa...

Kampong ChamA town on a big river - we biked it over to the other side to visit a buddhist-run school, and helped teach with the monks. Random incident: c*** fighting in the temple grounds. The monk we spoke with and helped teach was very friendly - i sat with the 'rood boys' at the back, including a tiny little boy monk who was older than he looked. They were great fun, and enjoyed asking me about my girlfriend - this is one of the main questions kids learn when...

Phnom Penh – Part Deux. The Killing Fields…this is what most people think of when you mention the country, all the evil that was committed by the Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot. These people have had it far from easy. The tour started at S-21, a school that was converted in to a detention centre/torture factory. *do not read further if you are sensitive – skip 2 paragraphs** If you were sent here, and they barely needed a reason, you would be killed eventually ...
