Ao Nang is one of a number of beaches that run along the west coast in Krabi Province. It's probably the most built up but that doesn't really say much because everywhere is generally very quiet. There are plenty of places to stay, eat, drink, etc. So we found a place to stay for a few days and explored on another moped. This area is very familiar to me because it is close to where I was teaching on my last trip to Thailand. I have really enjoyed Lisa seeing th...

Koh Lanta is a long island with beautiful beaches running down it's western coast. Because it is the low season, everywhere was very quiet. We found a nice place to stay and rented a bike to explore the island better. I have never ridden a moped before but the roads here are so quiet I felt comfortable trying for the first time. We rode up away from the beaches and into the hills for some spectacular views of the coast and the other small islands nearby. Then w...

We then took a flight down to Krabi on the south west coast of Thailand. Krabi Town is the provincial capital but is still only a small town. It has a loely temple made out of carved white stone/marble. The best parts of Krabi province are found in the surrounding countryside and along the nearby beaches and islands. After a few nights in Krabi town to recover from the cold we both caught, we hopped on another bus to one of the large islands nearby called Ko...

We left Siem Reap and caught a bus down to Phnom Penh. When we arrived it was dark and the streets looked uninviting. We found a place to stay and went out to explore. I won't dwell too long on this but Lisa and I were not keen on Phnom Penh. It is a dirty, polluted and seedy place, totally without character or charm. The traffic is unbearable; constantly kicking out exhaust fumes in to the hot air. We spent 3 nights here whilst waiting for our Thai Visas to...

The following day we struck out to explore Angkor Wat. It's a massive complex of ancient and beautiful temples, surrounded by dense forest and jungle. It's really quite difficult to explain just how vast the place is - hopefully our photos will give you some idea. In some places you are eyed by hundreds of massive stone faces that peer at you from all angles and heights, in others you are amid ruins that fight for space with the massive roots of bodhi and vario...
