We spent our last two days in Cambodia doing some shopping and updating our blog....so we were exhausted by the end of it.
Our leave from Cambodia was memorable. We woke up at six in the morning and got picked up by what we thought would be our temporary transport to a much larger bus. We were wrong on that one as that van was to be our transport for the next seven hours….straight to the border!!! So, squashed and sweaty, we road to Poipet in what was the worse road we experienced in Cambodia. At the station we were marked with an orange sticker, nominating us to go have transport for Bangkok. From the departure point, we had to walk in the midday sun up to the visa station where there was a long queue waiting for us. Once done we had to endure another walk to our van, but thankfully this time it was a luxury one….welcome back in Thailand!!
The two of us were excited when we saw the first 7 Eleven (as there were none in Laos and Cambodia) and made it a point to have dinner at Burger King that night.
As soon as we arrived in Kho San Road we made our way quickly to find a guesthouse as it was already 20:30 and we were dirty and exhausted. First guest house was a ‘No Rooms’ followed by a second one. We were lucky at our third strike and found the last room at Green Guesthouse. And so we made our way with our heavy backpacks all the way up to the THIRD floor and collapsed on the bed.
And here we are now…back in Bangkok….back in ‘civilsation’, where most of the Thai people know how to speak english and taxi/tuk tuk driver try to rip you off. Bangkok…we got to do it!!
