Temples of Angkor - 3:45 am and the alarm goes off, a very bleary eyed and tired me wonders if this Cycling to catch the sunrise was a good idea, maybe we should get another half hour and go in a tuk-tuk?? No, we're up and by 4am out of our room and taking to the roads in our rented $1 bicycles, a nice ride and not to difficult to find - you just follow the seemingly endless stream of tuk-tuks making the same journey! 40 minutes later and after a small stop at th...

After a very stressful and crazy day we arrive at Garden village hostel. First impressions were good, it appeared to be a clean and sociable place, we shared a dorm with the Crazy Americans William and Kate, after a meal and a couple of drinks, we headed for bed to get a good nights rest before starting our week at the orphanage tomorrow. When we woke the Americans had already checked out but did leave a nice note for us, the time came and we were picked up by Ra...

We paid for an organised service in Ko Chang that would take us all the way to the city of Siem Rea...

Ko Chang was one of many Thai islands that we have visited on our trip and ranks as one of our favourites. Absolute paradise! We spent our days lazing on the many beaches and sitting ...

Arrived in Ubon after a pretty long trip starting in Don Dhet, Laos - Pakse, Laos - crossing the border and in to Ubon. We shared this trip with an Israeli girl who had just finished her 2 year compulsory army service, a Turk and a retired American. The American annoyed the hell out of us, he insisted on documenting the whole of our trip including us in all of his pictures! After arriving in Thailand once again we soon missed the laid back life style of Laos. As...
