This is the first time we crossed a border by bus. The bus left us at a very convenient place where we easily found our hotel, 20 USD per night incl. breakfast and w i-fi in the room. Vietnam may be the cheapest country for tourists in the region. As in Cambodia in Vietnam also local ( Vietnam Dong) and US currencies videly used together. Ho Chi Minh City (HCMN) is very noisy but very frienly city. Having practicing in Cambodia we had still difficulty in crossing the crowded traffic roads. We have witnessed of several motorbike accidents. The next day we took a one day Mekong Delta Tour ; peaceful. Mekong River originates from China and passes through 5 more countries, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia , Vietnam. Mekong may be the main source of living ... read more

Enjoying every day of Cambodia . We made Siem Reap in 5 hours by bus from Phnom Penh where we stayed only a night and will return in few days. Although it is Chinese new year, we could find a good guest house, Golden Banana B&B free internet available. We were dreaming for years to see Angkor. At last we did it. We got three days entrance ticket 40 USD each. Actually two days might be optimum but the tickets are for one , three and seven days. The temples ( most of them ruins) are constructed about thousand years ago, 7-10 km from the town and are widely spread over a vast forest. It is a beautiful park area where you feel peacefull. This area has been announced as world herritage site by Unesco. We ... read more

At the last day of our visit to Bangkok, we took a Public River Boat to the very South of Chaophraya River . We visited Menam Hotel where we have stayed fifteen years ago.Little changed but more beautiful. By Sky Train we went to the night market, Patbong . Almost everything is fake and for good shopping strong bargaining skills needed. All along the market road there stands many sex shows , night bars, etc. The next day on 29th Jan., we started for Koh Chang by bus. It cost roughly 13 USD each for six hours VIP transport (ferry ticket incl). Koh Chang is a very beautiful island in the east part of Thailand very close to Cambodia. We went to Coconut Beach Resort at Klong Prao Beach. There are mainly four beaches on the ... read more

We couldn't find confirmed ticket to Jhansi for 8.12 train, we traveled by 9.25 train. It reached Jhansi 13.40 hr so we missed the last bus 13.30 for Khajuraho. Then we hired a jeep for 1500 inR. We shared the cost with another friend we met Jaipur. It took 4 hrs including a lunch break on the way. Khajuraho is a relatively calm town. Erotic figures carved on temples impressed us very much. 1000 years ago; hard to understand the religion on erotic perspective. Therefore we publish our photos without any comment. Tomorrow we will go to Satna by jeep and try to catch the night train 19.45 to Varanasi.... read more
