When I arrived in Bloem there was no where for me to stay so I got friendly with the guy working for the bus company and he let me sleep on the flo...

From Kosan Road in Bangkok I took a bus to the Thailand and Cambodia border. The road from Bangkok to the border was very nice and we had an nice air conditioned bus to take us there. When we got to the border and managed to cross without any real problems we waited for about an hour to get on to our next transport to Siem Riep.
