We had treated ourselves to a nice hotel for the Christmas period and it was exactly what we were hoping for; The resort was upmarket and remote. The room was perfect, we had bifold doors onto the balcony from where we had a sunset view over the ocean. Our bathroom was partly open plan and we could also see the sea from our large jacuzzi! We had dinner at the hotel that night and the following morning hired a scooter and headed to the main town chewang beach to b...

In order to get to ko samui from Battambang we had to go via Bangkok... for a third time! We decided that rather than get an overnight train directly after our 7 hour journey we would spend the night and following day in Bangkok and do nothing! We managed to get a reasonably priced hotel (which the cab driver couldnt find) with a small gym and pool so after an early night we spent the next day relaxing by the pool. we did have to go to the train station in the mo...

We settled for an Indian which was very good. The next day was spent talking to tour operator...

After a long wait at border control which was accessed by a rickety wooden jetty, we boarded our fast boat to phnom penh. We were not sure what was in store for us and as our boat pulled up to the pier we were impressed with what we saw. After wrestling our way through a barrage of tuk tuk drivers and and hotel reps we collected our luggage and agreed a price with a tuk tuk to take us to our hotel. This was the nicest tuk tuk yet! It was a morobike drawn carriage...
