We had arranged to stay at a hostel in Khao Lak, ironically called 'Walkers inn' :) We we're a little apprehensive at meeting the owner, Andy, as we had sent a few emails back and forth arranging our accommodation and he had been a little abrupt and a tad rude. However, when we arrived at Walkers we we're greeted by Andy and he seemed to be a great bloke and in the coming week we were to discover he is a right legend! I was chuffed to bits with Walkers, firstly t...

We arrived in Bangkok for the second time at around 1.30pm after a very squashed ride! We went straight to the Khao San Rd to look for a hostel as we hadn't been there yet and both wanted to see what all the fuss was about. As we started looking we quickly realised that we were going to be quite pushed to get exactly what we were looking for - a comfortable bed for the night with WI-FI and air-con for around 500THB (about a tenner). As had become our custom, I sa...

We caught the bus to Phnom Penh from Saigon early in morning, the journey was fine and took about six hours in total (a relatively small journey now for us!) When we arrived we had the usual hustle and bustle of tuk-tuk drivers trying to get our custom. We decided to share one with a couple of lads from London that we'd met on the Journey, to spread the cost. They were only on holiday, so to them budgeting wasn't a priority and they stopped in the first place the...

At the end of our week in Mui Ne we got the bus back to HCMC/Saigon. The journey was pretty standard and uneventful and when we got back we just found a guest-house and chilled. The following morning we got up early to go on a tour of the Cu Chi tunnels that we had booked the previous day. The Cu Chi tunnels are an area of the tunnel system that was built by the Viet Cong (the North Vietnamese) to be used in guerilla fighting, so that they could be unseen and unh...

The coach that we got to Mui Ne was a sleeper bus! - sods law that we get a sleeper bus in the daytime on a short journey! (well, we know that six hours isn't short but its amazing how short six hours feels when you're used to doing a minimum of 12!). But it was still cool, it was nice to be able to sleep horizontally on a bus! Ki slept for most of the journey and I talked for a lot of it to a couple of Canadian girls in the beds next to me about Vietnam and the ...
