Hello everyone.
Just experience the best new year ever in Bangkok. from the 12th to the 15th they celebrate the Thai new year with a huge water festival which basically involes everyone getting everyone as soaked as possible. just walking down the street was chas with loads of thai people soaking us and rubbing clay all over our face and body. was amazing. we ended up buying a huge water gun each and dressed up as rambo joining in the fun. it goes on all day and night. u literally cant go out side without being wet. Alos as we we are foreign we were prime targets for the Thai's which made it even more funny.
2 days ago after these hectic and fun few days i got a bus to Cambodia (Siem Reap, in the north). the total journey took about 14 hours including the border crossing. The bus was so crammed and had no air-con...it was also spine shudderingly bumpy the whole way. the roads are horrific here. no tarmac....apperently an unknown airline is paying the cambodian government not to fix the roads so people are more inclined to fly to destinations rather than the much cheaper bus alternative. (shocking).
Wnt to see the Ankgor Wat Temple and a load of other temples yesterday. even saw the temple in which Tomb Raider 1 was shot in (first scene with huge robot). mne and rob hired a tuk-tuk driver for the day to take us to all the different places/temples (costing 4 pounds for the whole day). got loads of great photos to show u. the architecture was amazing and so old.
One of the guys i was travelling with lost his passport in Thailand somewhere so is currently stuck there. though me and the other guy came to cambodia. thing hes sorted it now and will be meeting us tonight apparently.
Heading to Phnom-pehn in 2 days which is south of cambodia. another long and bumpy bus ride im pressuming. then we should be heading to Vietnam a few days after that. Still having a great time.
Speak to you soon.
