Couldnt quite find a picture suitable for this next bit. Got up at 5.00 to leave for Bangkok the next day. Previous two days the road from Siem Reap to Bangkok had been flooded -was debating having to fly or bus/ boat/ mini bus/ taxi it up to the border- which sounding long winded and unreliable. Anyways, the previous night word on the street was that it was possible to cross the roads and get to the border. The GH guy had ordered us two taxis which were prepared...

The bus trip from PP to Siem Reap was another interesting one. I just could get bored of watching how the local people lived and the kids going to and from school. Very kool. Arrived much earlier than we thought- to the bus station where there was a huge gaggle of men offering accomodation and free tuktuks. Had already arranged with the last guy to go to one guesthouse so followed the guy with our names on a card- fame for you! Pretty kool guest house run by youn...

So ive already written this entry once and lost it. ill try my best to make this one as worthy of the whitbread prize!Left early monday morning for Phnom penh, $11 and you in a differnt country- amazing. The mini bus was pretty impressive and the ride a comfy 9/10 with a awindow seat- bonus.The border crossing was surprisingly painless. The border is surprisnlgy built up and impressive looking -  i think its all new. Casinos too. Strange....
