Day 15 & 16: Patong (Phuket), Thailand

Had a massive night last night and we met a few more Aussies – FROM SEFTON! Crazily small world, Danny and Tom live really close to me and we all had a massive night at ‘Aussie Bar”. I didn’t get home till about 4am. The following day I we all decided to meet up again [...]

Day 14: Bangkok (Lazing poolside), Thailand

Nursing a monster hangover I found myself waking up at 12 and sitting poolside, met some more aussies whom were on ’schoolies’ (in Thailand, WTF!) it was a group of 9 girls from Byron, that’s NUTS, my parents would have never let me do that!
I was trying to even out my tan lines, [...]

Day 13: Bangkok (Chatachuk* Markets), Thailand

25/11/2006
WOW, today was a hectic, hectic day! I went to the Chatachuk markets, home of the biggest markets i’ve seen in my life (and one of the biggest in the world according to lonely planet). There were 15,000 stalls and I had made the journey with Jo, Ella and Yvette (aussies whom I met the [...]

Day 12: Bangkok, Thailand

24/12/2006
Yesterday was a pretty cool day in Bangkok. I met up with Zvir again and we decided to go to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho (home of the reclining Buddha) together. We caught a boat down the river and ended up at the Kings Palace, which was pretty phenomenal! We walked around for a [...]

Day 8 – 11: Bangkok, Thailand

Okay, so I’ve been pretty lazy in my posting of late, but I think I think I can be excused, as the tummy bug had hit me HARD! I arrived on Tuesday (21/11) from Phnom Penh and saw Jem off to India. I waited at the taxi terminal for a bit and bumped into a [...]

Day 7: Siem Reap (Angkor Wat II)

All templed out, as Jem’s dad put it, temple-itis. we visited about 15 temples all up, four of which we covered today. The first 3 looked exactly the friggen same, literally! We saved the best till last though, Angkor Wat was AWESOME – definately in my top 3! It is no wonder this place is [...]

Day 6: Siem Reap (Angkor Wat I)

Today was my first day exploring the world heritage listed, wonder of the world, Angkor Wat. We began the day waking up at 4:30am in an attempt to catch the early morning sunrise (as per the advice from Rob), it was ammmaaazing! But! The biggest gripe I had about this place was the friggen tourists, [...]

Day 5: Battambang and Siem Reap

Today was a HECTIC day of just travel, I was really really tired! We started the day early to catch a ’speed boat’ which ended up being a rickety piece of shit, but according to Lonley Planet, it was one of the must do boat trips in SE Asia, and it was! We went through [...]

Day 4: Battambang

Okay, so this is going to be the general rule, I will be about one day behind with my blogs, pretty much i’ll be writing in past tense becuase i will be writing about yesterday’s events (since i havent been able to get internet everyday). I bought a travel diary in Singapore – becuase [...]

Day 3: Phnom Penh

Spent another day at Phnom Penh to finish off the things that we hadn’t dont as per Lonley Planet. We started the day off bright and early with an omlette that had mushroom, tomato and cheese – turns out the cheese was a bega slice slapped on the top and then melted – lol, it [...]
