Back again......as some of you may be aware our trip from Koh Samui to Phuket was a bit of a nightmare!! We bought our tickets from a travel agent and thought all would be kosha but things started to look dodgy from the moment we were picked up in a taxi instead of a bus. We had two fellow brits with us on same journey (they were heading back the UK) so we felt a bit more comfortable....but to cut a very long stroy short....after getting to mainland Thailand we w...

So on Tue 25th Nov the four us left Siem Repa and headed to the Thai border in Poipet! We had heard so many dodgy stories about this trip as the road is still under construction and really bad in places, so the bus journeys are no fun! We decided being 4 of us a taxi to border would be best (true backpacking now) so we paid $40 for the 3 hour trip! It has to be said the road is pretty bad! The bridges are not finished so every few miles we corssed dirt paths whi...

So we headed to Siem Reap on Saturday 22nd Nov on the bus! WE wanted to go by boat up the Tonle Sap but it would of costed $35 each!

We headed to a hostel in Lonely Planet (sis-it's been our bible!) and it was fabby!!!! Ivy 2 Hostel, $7 room, clean...

Crossing the border was funny!....we were ripped off $2 with our visa's but thats better than we expected as we've heard stories of people paying up to 30$ for a $20 visa! Its all quite fun getting lots of new stamps in our passport! We arrived into central Phonm Penh mid afternoon...didnt quite know what to expect but w...

Hello everyone Hope all is well!!!!! Well I better update this blog before I forget what we've done!!! We went to the Mekong Delta on a tour on 19th/20th Nov with Delta Tours! We did enjoy ourselves but i'm afraid it was scam scam Vietnam!!!!! (will explain in a bit!) So we left Saigon early and headed to Mekong, taking about 3 hours on bus! We kind of expected to see more lushious green paddy fields and beautiful rivers flowing around but it was slightly diss...
