The night bus was pretty cool, it was a 'Hotel Bus' which meant we had tiny beds two in a row with a little curtain to draw in the isle. It also had wifi, plugs and a tv screen! Ruby, Julia and I were sorted as we are the perfect height for the asian sized beds, Kevin and Kenny however were bot so lucky! Especially Kenny being about 6ft5 tall!! we managed to sleep pretty well and we arrived in Phnom Penh at about 8ish. we were greeted by a tuk tuk driver, we had...

We woke up bright and early (6am) to get picked up from outside our guesthouse to go to Siem Reap. The friends we had made the couple of nights before (Kevin, Julia and Kenny) arranged to get the same bus with us as we had found a really cheap deal.

A minibus picked us up at 7:30 we drove off the island via 2 boat crossings. First stop was Krabi Town after 2 hours where we were then taken by a tuk tuk to a bus station after some breakfast another minivan picked us up and drove us to another place which took another two hours. We had some lunch and were then picked up by ...
