Hi - quick summary of our trip from SihanoukVille via Koh Kong (Cambodia) over the border and Had Lek/Trat (Thailand) thru to Pattaya! Got up06:30 and bus-pick-up was a no-show. We took tuk-tuk to bus station and caught 08:15 coach/bus to Border. Nice front/top seats for the 4.5 hr drive. We went from SV via National Route4 (a 2 lane b-road!) and went thru paddy fields/mangroves/over rivers/thru hills/mountains and forests - awesome 200km+ trip! Stopped for snack then off to Cambodia border - thru it in 2 mins then to Thai border - thru in 1 min!!! We got our Visas then took a minibus to Trat (90km) with 8 others. Arrived 2 hrs later (after driver detoured to Vote!! then pick up his kids!!!!) at bus station. Then after some deft negotiation Paul managed to get 4 of us to Pattaya for 2500 baht.... in a luxury minibus with aircon - sweet. We dropped of our comrades and were eventually dropped at around 19:30 at 'Greenery House' in Pattaya! Great hotel for £13 a night with aircon... Grabbed a quick bite (Thai food) then slept like 2 logs...... More later..
