Pnomh Penh
Once again I'm writing from Bangkok. I got back from Cambodia last night after a 14 hour long bus-ride. In Bangkok I met my friend Ida from Stockholm and her friend Moa. Cambodia was very interesting, probably the dirtiest country I've been in. I stayed in the Kingdom 3 nights, 2 nights in Siem Reap and one in Pnomh Penh. I think Pnomh Penh was the nicest of the two but unfortunately I had to make the stay a short one. I visited one of the Killing Fields from the awful Pol Pot era, which was quite a tragic sight, but something you should see to properly understand the country's history. I stayed in a guesthouse with Jocelyn, Will and Tamsyn on the big lake, which was cool, but falling asleep on the veranda is not something I would recommend, as I woke up eaten alive by the mosquitoes. The cost for three nights accommodation in Cambodia came to a grand total of 6 US dollars, so all of a sudden Thai prices seem a bit pricey. Tonight I take the train down south, to the island of Koh Pha Ngan where there will be a full-moon party on the 22nd. Probably a chaotic event but definetly something I want to experience before leaving Thailand.
