12th – 14th July After leaving Kanchanaburi at 6pm, we knew we had a long journey ahead of us. We chatted for a little bit, I caught up on some writing and we tried to get some sleep. At one point we were woken up to be told that we had to lift our seats …
10th July – 11th July 2018 Once we had boarded the train in Hua Hin, we had to sit on the tracks for a while, waiting for one coming towards us, to arrive. This put our time back a little more and although we originally had an hour between the first train arriving and the …
8th July – 10th July 2018 After being collected at 11.30 from our room in Koh Samui, the journey didn’t go to plan from there and got progressively worse. We were taken straight to the port, where we arrived just after 12, to be told that the ferry wasn’t until 1.30. This was strange, as …
5th July – 8th July 2018 After running from van to bus stop and back to van again, in the rain, we were on our way to Koh Samui. Although it was portrayed as a short journey, this wasn’t exactly true, which I guess I should have expected. It took us about two hours to …
3rd July – 5th July 2018 After leaving Koh Lanta, we set off towards our next destination. As it was early, we tried to get some sleep, but I always find it difficult on buses. Just as I managed to shut my eyes, we arrived in Krabi again. Annoyingly for us, we arrived in Krabi …
1st July – 3rd July 2018 After getting picked up from our guest house in Ao Nang, we were taken to Krabi, which didn’t take us very long. When we got there, we had to get off the bus and change to another one. What we weren’t told at first, though, was that we had …
29th June – 1st July 2018 After boarding our plane on time, we ended up sitting and waiting on the runway for a while, before take off. Before we took off, Joe was asleep, but that’s standard routine now. I waited until we were in the air, so that I could get my laptop out …
24th June – 29th June 2018 After Kamnat had dropped us off at the bus office, we got on a mini bus to the main coach station. Once we arrived there, we were moved onto a bigger coach, to head towards Siem Reap. The journey lasted a few hours, with a short break half way …
15th June – 24th June 15th June After a few stops for toilet breaks and food, and a few naps, we made it from Phnom Penh to Battambang in about five and a half hours. As our time in Battambang was mostly for spending time volunteering in a school, we didn’t have anything booked for …
12th June – 15th June 2018 After getting on the bus in Ho Chi Minh city, we had a few hours on the bus until we arrived at the Cambodian border. We were spoken to in another language (maybe Vietnamese) so we had no idea what we were supposed to do, but we just followed …
