We are now in Siem Reap, Cambodia arriving about and hour ago. Our Guesthouse that we booked had double booked us for tonight so they sent us to a partner one across the road and it's really nice, no hardship to be moved from one nice guesthouse to another! We are really glad to have arrive as it has taken nearly two whole days to travelling from Ko Chang to get here. We caught the ferry from Ko chang yesterday at 10am and we arrived at the border town of Aran...

Just a short update this time. We arrived here on wednesday after a mamoth 23 hour journey involving an overnight train and a bus journey from Bangkok.

The only different between 2nd and 1st class is that in first class your berths are in little cabins whereas in 2nd they are just curtained off. Rachel and I both had top...

We are currently in Ayutthaya which is an hour north of Bangkok and was at one time the capital of Thailand until it was attacked and ravaged by the Burmese. We arreived yesterday morning after catching the train from Bangkok Hualamphong Station. That was an experience as we had a job getting an honest taxi driver, but after our first four days in Bangkok where we were scammed loads I know exactley how deal with them - insist on the meter or walk away.
