Sad to leave our oh so nice hostel in chiang Mai ( not !! ). We headed for the airport bright and early in the am. We lucked out as we're able to flag down a tuk tuk as there wasn't many out at 630 am. It was a very breezy and squishy ride though definitely woke us up! Our flight went well, was on time and it was just a little over 2 hours to our next destination -- kuala lumpur Malaysia. As we stepped off the plane we were once again smacked in the face with ...

A late night arrival brought us to Chiang Mai around 2130. An instant feel of the slow paced, mild air and more sleep city was a good change from Bangkok. We arrived at our glorious accommodations in Chiang Mai: for $10 per night you really skip the luxury. A very simple room with a fun and friends: little ants Enjoyed our room as well... better then other creepy bugs. The next day we walked around the city and explored many of the temples ( Wats) as the cal...

Our bus ride from Siem reap to Bangkok ended up not being too bad. Although just like we figured we ended up in a van rather than coach bus after the border.

We get dropped of at some area so we have no real idea where we are or how to get to our hotel but as we stood there wondering which way ...

Our lovely bus journey took us through the lovely country side of Cambodia. A vast difference in life quality from city to country side. All along the road a majority were just shacks full of local people just hanging around. We arrived in Siem Reap around 3 in the afternoon to a nice warm punch in the face; happens when sitting in ac for hours. We got settled in for a bit then walked around the city: population just over 100,000 folks so it's not massive,...

So it was probably the most sad and depressing day of or trip. On our first day on phnom penh we went to the killing fields and even though we had previous knowledge on the horrible event being there had a whole other effect on us. As we drove along the dirt roads so dirty and full of garbage that we actually had a coating of dirt on our skin we arrived outside phnom penh to the killing fields. Thousands were murdered here. The khmer rouge wanted to change cambo...
