Crossing the border to Cambodia was suprisingly easy with no bribes needed. Traveling to Siem Reap however was much slower, taking two days and forcing us to stay a night in the unexciting town of Kratie. the next day we took the long journey to Siem Reap which was made interesting by a roadside stop where the locals were selling deep fried tarantula's and crickets and some local kids that were great fun to play with. Arriving in Siem Reap, we checked into a hotel that had a massive crocodile pit out the back. Siem Reap has changed massively since the last time I was there four years ago and is now a nice little tourist town. Were I not feeling sick and in need of some antibiotics I would have definitely stayed longer but I needed to get back to bangkok, so we planned to visit Angkor the day after our arrival.
Angkor was as amazing as I had hoped, with Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, and the Bayon being the best of the sites we visited. As far as Angkor is concerned, the photos will tell the story better anyway...
