After my late night the other night I didn't manage to get out of bed until around 16:00 so not much really happened yesterday, but it meant that I had an early night and also woke up this morning quite early too.After having my first breakfast at this hotel I headed out in to town again for a walk around. This time I didn’t take the free tuk-tuk service as I wanted to walk down and back as it would take some time and also meant that after wandering ar...

I arrived in Siem Reap this morning surprising on time, normally these night busses turn up around 2 to 3 hours late. Fortunately for me, we were dumped at a bus station where we were met by the usual group of people touting for our business including many tuk-tuk drivers.

Otres Beach was a long stretch of beach front that has not really been developed yet, so was very quiet and only had a couple of beach front bars/restaurants staking claim to thei...
