Thailand There must be some unwritten rule that a land bordeer crossing isn't allowed to go smoothly. After managing to avoid a visa scam at the Cambodia side got into a mini van on the Thai side with the craziest driver ever. Actually said prayer that we arrived safely, mad man thought he was on a race track in the pouring rain and a good few times we were thrown forward when he had to slam on the brakes.

In the museum it shows many victims of agent or...

Railay Happy Anniversary!

We were in a bamboo hut at the top of the hill and a little bit into the jungle. Just sitting out the front we saw loads of monkeys jumoing about in the trees, too many insects flying around, but it was cool. We rented ...
