Here we are back in Bangkok for the last time on this trip, our third time all together. We left behind our somewhat run down and damp accomodation in Sihanoukville for the bus station. One thing we have come to expect is the unexpected and boarding our bus to Phnom Penh was no different. The bus arrived and very nice it was too, a double decker with T.V and reclining seats and a bathroom. As usual we waited around to watch our bags get on the bus but they all s...

Hi again from Pattaya the city with more Western men and Thai ladies than anywhere else in Thailand. We have been having fun and frustation in equal amounts the last few days. Yesterday we were unable to book our bus to Cambodia in advance so ended up sorting out a minivan to take us to the border which worked out more expensive but gets there in half the time.

Well you lucky people get 2 entries on the blog today. We had a really lazy morning catching up on jobs and eating. At 1.30pm our Tuk Tuk driver Mr Noi collected us for our sight seeing extravaganza around Ayutthaya, he has the shiniest Tuk Tuk in town and is so friendly. He took us out of the inner city island and over to Wat Yai Chai Mongkon to see the reclining Buddha and temple remains. The weather today has been so humid that we felt like sponges walking ar...
