Well know in Bangkok, the drive from Siem Reap was easy going and quite enjoyable. It helps to have good drivers and mine certainly were.

The border was interesting and a bit unnerving, we placed our trust in a trolley pusher and looking back I don't know if it's such a good idea as you have to put your complete trust in this guy who has control over your luggage which you do lose sight of. Anyway the plus side is he was completely helpfull and it was an extremely long walk across the border. I was surprised when we got to luggage inspection that as a foreigner that we were just waved through with our trolley pusher. As everyone else was being searched and patted down. Well we got through and the trolley pusher took us straight to a shop that supplied drivers. It appears our trolley pusher may have missed out on a commission when they all finally understood we already had a vehicle, so one to me.

We're in our hotel in Bangkok, it's probably the crappiest one we've had so far but clean and functional and the night markets start outside our door. My bargaining

We were confused when our driver said he bought gas by the kilo, until he filled up

skills are rubbish as the vendors are giving in to easily but I got my genuine? new season Chelsea top for AU$30.00 so I'm happy.

Still having massages every day but I'm sure in Patpong that a lot offer more than a standard massage.
