Things like having a stable base, an place you consider 'home', something to keep you occupied that isn't another temple and some friends who aren't going to take a flight out of the country the day after you meet them, are all things that anyone who's been backpacking for a while is going to value. What's even better, though, is when your 'home' happens to be Phnom Penh, and your occupation is spending time with a group of awesome kids at at an orphanage that you just can't get enough of. And to top it all off - being a member of Raffles doesn't hurt either... Well, lakeside first. Lakeside is a little corner of Phnom Penh (the Cambodian capital) filled to the brim with backpackers and a few ex pats where our guest house is ... read more

his is kinda an old entry I wrote most of a while back. stuff about cambodia soon I hope!- The last entry ended in Chiang Mai, the northern thailand captial. I've spent most of the time from then till now in chiang mai, although right now I'm on the border between thailand and cambodia, having taking consecutive busses for 15 hours to get here! As usual with border towns theres little to do here - so a good chance to catch up with the blog. The rest of thailand was as awesoime (perhaps more so), as the first half. I wish I could stay in thailand a bit longer - its a really nice country and I;d only just started to get to grips with the language and culture. You really only get a snapshot of ... read more

Firstly - all photos are up on - http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h14/jonnyglewington/ seeing as this site has stingy upload limits! After the 24 hour traffic jam that was bangkok - I decided it was time to see something a bit more rural. So on tuesday I made it my mission to stay somewhere as remote and none touristy as I could find! I left bangkok on an express train to sawankhalok, accompanied by an Icelandic guy that I met in bangkok who also couldn't stomach the noise. On the train we sat near to a monk, who showed us some small wooden figures he had carved (mostly of penises!). We spent the night in sawankhalok - a small town in which we were the only foreigners. It had a small night market specialising in rotting vegetables and fish, ... read more

Well, with a massive subscriber list of two people this is the beginning of the definitive account of my travels round Thailand and Cambodia. All the regular stuff first: flight was long and boring, been in bangkok since I arrived, had two massages and one hangover (ongoing!) and a good time last night. Bangkok is a crazy city - full of market stalls on about every street selling everything possible - from fruit shakes to fake jeans. The mix of people is as awesome as any Asian city - last night I spoke to a Nepalese businessman in transit between Guangzhou and Kathmandu, an American on holiday and spent the night drinking with a British vet student (who is to blame for my atrocious hangover!). Bars are everywhere and open all night, and range from tiny ... read more
