Well, since my last entry I've travelled down sith in Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh City, got myself pickpocketed on the way, spent few days there. Had a ball in Vietnam overall, would recommend it to anyone, even for a couple week holiday!! Then travelled up the Mekong Delta on a boat into Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Visited the Killing Fields there and some other pretty grim places linked to the genocide that took place in the 70s under Pol Pot. Really interested place though...

Then up north in Cambodia to Siem Reap, visited the massive Temples of Angkor and just chilled out for few days. Left there and crossed the border into Thailand and headed for Bangkok and the ridiculously busy Khao San road, its just choca with backpackers, never seen so many in one place.

Only spent a night in Bangkok before taking a 14 hour train to Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand, where I am now. Just gonna hang out here for few days, partake in a few activities, trekking and whatnot... did a Thai cookery course today, pretty gay I know, but it was actually pretty fun, and I can make an awesome Thai curry now 😊

From here I'm heading to Laos... should be good, watch this space...

Later
