Hi everyone!!! We are now back in Bangkok for a few days before we head off to Cambodia on Saturday 4th March. We will be crossing the border and going to Siem Reap..from where we will be visiting Angkor Wat. We are excited but also a bit apprehensive too as we hear Cambodia is a lot more difficult than laid-back Thailand. Time for a new challenge!!! Koh Samui was fun. It's very touristy but there's lots to do there. We went elephant trekking and enjoye...

We went to the amazing week...

We are now back at home for a short respite and then are off again tomorrow to Bangkok! We are both very excited and looking forward to flying Five Star for the first time with Qatar!! Egypt was a bit of an eye-opener. It was really amazing to see the Pyramids of Giza, Luxor Temple, Tutankhamen's mask and tomb, the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple.
