Angkor What?

Next day headed to Siem Reap, however half the group were left behind leaving Tay and Murph to sweet talk a bus driver due to Erin leaving town with their pre-purchased tickets (the journey was hindered by the fact that they now only had one flip flop each). Siem Reap's cosmopolitan feeling and...

Schnooky Schnooky Schnookyville

Whilst in Phnom Penh we decided to treat ourselves to a couple of days at a Paradise beach resort that someone had described to us as, "party, party, party." Known as Sihanoukville to everyone else, due to our obsession with funny sounding words this quickly became 'Schnooky, Schnooky...

Bangkok or Bust!

Hello... This is the two of us outside of Terminal four at Heathrow. We were both tentatively excited about the pending trip and even though it is early days we can scrap tentatively from that phrase. After the very long flight, on which sleepy head Tim managed to sleep through the most of,...

Greetings From Bangkok

Could our trip have got off to a more smug start? Not only do we have 365 days of holiday left, but our first meal in Bangkok was at a five star hotel (due to the immeasurable benefits of Murphs extensive extended family) and our first day spent lounging around a 5 star pool. Visited the...

The Anglo-Italian Bangkok Job!

It has been 2 weeks in Thailand already and soon the trip will take its next direction, actually in about 2 hours when i catch the bus north to Chang Mai. I know that it will be the hardest move so far but hope in a polish friend who is there! We met briefly at our guesthouse on the famous Khao...

Southeast Asian Travel Day

Woke up in time for a nice cup of coffee on the lake in Phnom Penh and a few minutes to chill before another long travel day. So, a half hour on a motorbike across town and an hour on a state of the art Cambodian airliner puts me back in lovely Bangkok in time to pick up the bags and jump on...

By travelers, for travelers

"By travelers, for travelers." You'll find this claim on just about every travel site out there, but if you dig around you'll also probably find a mailing address in Oakland or some other non-exotic location. There's an office there, staffed with anywhere between a half dozen and...

All good thus far

So I'm back in Bangkok, at the tail end of a one-way ticket. Things are essentially going according to plan, with minor exceptions such as the part where EVA Airlines wouldn't let me on the plane until I shelled out $950 for a return ticket. Tomorrow will be day two of the grand "refund...
