hi guys

on my second day in Bagkok it rained so heavily in the morning that i wasn't able to go anywhere until the afternoon, and as i was meeting my group for the Cambodia trip in the evening, so I spent the afternoon wandering around the local area of the hotel, including the Indian market and some of the small local temples.

the next day was spent mostly driving to Siem Reap in Cambodia, with nothing very interesting to tell about the trip apart from a visit to a silk farm to see how they produce and weave the silk. Crossing the border was a bit of a nightmare. was stood waiting for ages in quite extreme heat, not pleasant

Been touring temples all day today. We went to Angkor Thom, Preah Khan and Banteay Srey. they were all very impressive but to be honest i was slightly templed-out by the end of the day. Slightly worrying because we've got another day of it tomorrow. Also went to a Landmine Museum to see about the decommissioning work being done in Cambodia.
got to get up at 4 in the morning to go and see the sunrise over Angkor Wat, which should be interesting.

Can you keep me informed about whats going on in Thailand, particularly if they start giving advice to tourists not to go there, or if any protests start going on around the airport, as I have to be back there in a week.

  1. Try not to worry too much. Hope that the situation will get better before you have to go back, but will keep my eye on it and keep you informed. If it gets worse I will make enquiries as to what they advise. Take care and try and enjoy everything. Really envious about you going to Angkor Wat - I would love to see it.

    Love
