Definitely get the 3-day pass! Hey Antoniele, as far as I know there're just two passes available - 1-day and 3-day. I'd definitely recommend the 3-day one; there's just so much to see, you'll barely scratch the surface in one day! (Even if you do get a bit 'templed out' by the end of your visit.) Have a great time!
Hi stranger! Question... I will be trekking to Siem Reap/Angkor in March and was just planning on taking the 1 day pass but after looking at your pics I seem to have changed my mind. Which pass do I get for the full Angkor experience? Thanks!
Thanks for a good laugh I'm sure you've been told a few times already, but this is one of the funniest things I've read in long, long time! I was actually laughing OUT LOUD and at one point had a right laughing fit that made me cry and all!
Hope you're still having a wonderful time, smart guy for putting off the rat race for as long as possible, keep it up!
All the best
Maria
Your best work... Your words have again moved me to provide a comment - the first paragraph in this blog is probably the best piece of writing I've seen on this site. Whatever you do in life Michael, just ensure that you keep writing in some form - even if it is only a hobby - otherwise a great literary talent will be wasted. Shane :-)
Another Great Blog ! Love the pix....but what really amazes me is your open-mindedness, your passion and sensitivity to other cultures....your parents raised you well :> Cheers !
Papaya and Farting I am also hopelessly addicted to papaya salad and as an American will do the patriotic thing and continue the traditon of farting in the echo chamber.
I love the photos of the trees engulfing the temple, must be awe inspiring in real life. your and Joel's blogs are a wonderful contrast this week! Cheers

Great blog Michael! I really enjoyed the second installment of your incredible journeys. Some amazing photos of Nature reclaiming her territory and I loved your descriptions and musings as well. What a privilege to visit these exotic places! Thank you for the great write-ups so that we can get a real 'feel' for the places you visit! Barbara
Pictures I love your pictures, they capture the scene so well. This has been something I've been noticing recently with this blog and your KK pics. Can you teach me how to take pics like this after we review micro settings :-)
Yay Man the temples look freakin awesome! Exploring them is something ive always wanted to do, maybe cause i want to be like Indiana Jones or something :P Keep it up.
You do look really really happy in the pics!! hi Michael, Jen here. Yes!! You look deliriously happy for a heart-broken guy. Why didn't I see that b4?!? If I make it to Angkor Wat ....someday, I will pick out a couple (does it have to be japanese? yeah...why not..)and do the shaking thing for you. :-P Oh... I will also do that stare and glare thing at the border. just to see if that really works!! Nice blog. I loved it. Keep it coming!! xxxx Jen
hahah i could NOT stop laughing about the couples thing.. ive wanted to shake the girls a few times. the photos make me want to jump continents, its nice to see some blue sky.. good WORK
Ah Michael, what a pleasure to come home from a day working with the mentally ill to read your, as ever, engaging descriptions. Good for you taking your grief and doing something wonderful with it and then sharing the wonder so we can all be inspired.
Dear Romeo..... Men are usually emotionally constipated. To the contrary, I admire how you can just shout out your feelings to the world. Women are drawn to new age sensitive guys. You'll be a chick magnet in no time if you keep blogging such persona about you. You do looked deliriously happy for a heart-broken guy :>.....'til the next chapter........cheers ! JC
A cliffhanger? How rude. You can't expect to leave me dangling like that and get no responce. It's simply evil. Evil, I tell you. Wow. All I can think of is what different people we are, and what different experiences we've had traveling alone. You are far stronger and more confident than I. Reading your entry makes me feel like such a nieve coward. The stuff that's happened to me this trip... well I don't think it would have happened to you, and not just because I'm a girl and you're a boy.
Anyways, I also had the opposite experience with the whole missing others deal. In Rangsit, I'm distracted and have people to spend time with, but traveling by myself, well I'm forced to think about who I'd most like to be spending time with, and I miss Mark more than ever, and almost more than I can stand. I agree with the couples everywhere, but they just make me sad. I return to Rangsit with my tail tucked between my legs.
I admire your courage, and sense for adventure. You are far braver than I, for you can have fun in these situations. Way to be adaptable. And way to write a killer blog. Nothing but good things to say to you, provided I get part two soon.
Like a Movie Set! Hi Michael! Great to get your latest offering, with the beautiful photos and text. Liked the guy sleeping with the helmet... when you are tired, well anywhere will do! Looking forward to part 2. Botsalano
Good blog mate! Hey there mate,
You don't know me but I'm sitting in freezing Ireland after being exactly where you are, last month, and your blog made me think of the great (warm!!!) times I had there .... top work tiger!!! Good blog....safe travels!
Teach me! Sup Bro Hope you can give me a few hints on scuba diving in exchange for a few lessons on the Viennese Waltz! Looking forward to seeing you in December!
Good times mate Bruce my friend! Thailand was a good trip, and I'll have none of this apologising business. I tried sending you a few sms' but I'm not sure if they reached you. I'm in Laos at the moment - not too far from where you are!
