Laos day 1 – Luang Prabang
We fly to Luang Prabang in Laos today leaving Siem Reap at the very civilised hour of 1.30pm and arriving around 3pm. Our first impression is not a good one as we try to withdraw some Kip from the … Continue reading
Cambodia day 13 – Siem Reap
Today we are just relaxing. The weather is gloriously sunny and warm and we walk to the bar area to have some lunch. We return to the Temple Club which serves good food and doesn’t require us to reset the … Continue reading
Cambodia day 12 – Siem Reap
A lazy day. The weather is mostly overcast but warm, with the hot sun breaking through occasionally. We buy the tickets for our flights to Luang Prabang leaving on Saturday and our onward flight to Chiang Mai in Thailand. It … Continue reading
