ello and welcome to our penultimate blog from overseas. Lee and I are back once again in good old Bangkok, and for us it feels like a bit of a home coming. After an amazing but slightly draining week in Cambodia, we have returned to Bangkok to indulge ourselves in some Western style luxuries, i.e the food, shops and ease of everything and also to prepare ourselves for our final leg of our travels to China and then back to good old Blighty.

Selamat datang, and an immensly warm welcome, Malay style, to our journey so far in S E Asia. Having flown into Singapore on 25th February, it is incredible to think Lee and I have already been in SE Asia for nearly a whole month!
