Okay, at Bangkok Airport
and changing flight
but I have to go through immigration
control, get my passport stamped
go and check in
then go through passport
control to connect to my flight
I don't know why
and also while I'm here and I've got a few minutes
I've found a photo service so I'm picking up my photos for my photo for, cos
I need one for my visa for Cambodia and later on I need one for afterwards in
Vietnam so
and I have new mug shots
Oh and we're at Bangkok Airport waiting for our flight to leave
yep and finally it's about 10 minutes before boarding our flight, I think all the
delays are over, or I hope there are anyway we shall see sorry about the noisy
corner I'm here charging the phone up in the quietest corner
would you believe of this departure lounge Hey
how are ya doin'? seem to have adopted a child
I don't know why they are attracted to me I'm not really attracted to them
say hi
anyway this is me leaving Bangkok after a very short Bangkok trip now with a
child in tow where's the mother? or anything of this?
do you belong to somebody?
I don't think he'll fit in my bag
yes so probably boarding, it's got dark now so I don't think I'll do much filming here I
will speak to you in Cambodia soon, I hope
and welcome to Cambodia okay
after a very short flight, it's only one hour 10 minutes from Bangkok to here I've now
arrived at my favorite part of the thing is think which hotel is going to take me

just four days
"just four days?" yeah I'm just flying in to see siem
reap seeing Angkor Wat again and then fly away again
so just a short visit well

look around the town but tomorrow afternoon I'll probably go and see well
go for sunset afternoon and sunset "the day after tomorrow?"
and then the next
day I'll do the early morning sunrise
so tomorrow I'll go in the afternoon get my
ticket and go and have a look around

that's the plan
Hopefully get nice weather this time of year as well
so is this my chariot? this one is this my chariot there we go look at that
ah looking good here is my taxi pick up
from the airport how does that look?
I wonder if I can drive now this in
Cambodia is called a remork although this is a very very posh remork this
most of look quite like that so it's not a tuk-tuk it's a motorbike on the front
there we go so you got a motorbike attached to a carriage and it's a remork
lucky me too
now this is luxury pickup
A whole remork to myself, look at these seats! posh cushions
aircon, great view
this is the sort of lift I like out of the airport pickup
welcome to the Rose Bowl
take off my shoes in the dark
good evening
how are you? thank you very much
please come inside as well, we have a complimentary drink for you
thank you very much
about a 20 minute remork
ride from the airport which is very pleasant
going past some of the big hotels and big highlights haven't quite gone
into Siem Reap center yet because where I'm staying is just a little bit off if
I seem to miss about a 20-minute walk to the actual Siem Reap centre to the night
market from here
it's nice and quiet, it's one thing here everybody gets up early so everybody
tends to go to bed but I don't know if you can see in this light they have a
lovely swimming pool
and it is actually almost warm enough to use that at the moment
and I've got to be quite, because I'm going down the corridor
but it's time to go to my room
and see what we've got
er, which one am I?
14, oh this one
I want to go in the right room
room 14, I'll just break in
it goes that way around, okay
and in we go
ooh, it's nice and cool in here, the air-con's on
And there's a kettle, tea coffee TV
and there's the bathroom, shower toilet basin and here's
the bedroom
it's quite late now because of my flights were delayed through the
day and so it's I think it's past 10 p.m. now and I really don't feel like
walking into town and getting anything to eat
and unfortunately their restaurant
finished serving at 9:30 was over an hour ago
it's 10:30 now so what I did
these bananas I took a big bunch of bananas so
I'm gonna make myself a cup of tea have some bananas
and then I'm gonna test out that comfy bed
and I'll see you in the morning
have a great night welcome to Cambodia
