This will have to be quick (ish) as in yet another internet cafe with a very slow connection (no wi fi at my hostel so my newly purchased laptop is a bit redundant!!). The bus ride from Bangkok to Camodia was "interesting" to say the least.... Read more >

Trust me - you dont even want to go there! If you get a western loo you are lucky. If you get a chinese loo then well you're not that hard up. If you get a communal "sewer pipe" then welcome to my world (it literally is just an open pipe and ... Read more >
