Friday 13th

Last day in Bangkok

Hadn't realised I'd be flying to Cambodia on Friday the 13th! Thankfully no mishaps along the way. After re-arranging my luggage so that I could leave one of my bags at the hotel while I head off to Cambodia and Ko Samui, and killing some time at an internet cafe I grabbed some lovely Thai food at the hotel restaurant. The food in this part of the world is top notch. Didn't really have time to do anything else after all that.

After arriving at my hotel in Phnom Penh I went up to the bar for a drink (the place is really a bar/restaurant but they have 3 rooms as well for people to stay), I got chatting to an Irish couple that sat down beside me. You really can't go anywhere without bumping into people from home! They're from Roscommon but live in Dublin, and had spent the last month in Vietnam with their last few days in Cambodia.

First impressions of Phnom Penh are that it has a lot of similarities with New Delhi. Wide colonial tree lined streets. With lots of street stalls and activitiy going on after dark. Haven't really seen much of the city as yet but am looking forward to exploring over the next few days.
