http://talesofasia.com/ used to have a good run on how to get in & out of Cambodia without being fleeced. Wads of 20Bhat notes also go down well in Cambodia if you don't have USD and in Siem Reap locals will be VERY happy to give you all their Bhat coins which they have been given as tips but can't change at the bank in exchange for the Thai notes which they can use. Your thoughtfulness will be remembered.
Good stuff FF. I thoroughly enjoy reading about your adventures. I miss you, :-) Hope we meet again soon and are without our respective date obligations.
Fond memories fo zanzybar from a few years back 04. I can remember one LB in the bar but probably a freelancer.
Back in 04 the place was a little tattier with lots of construction starting on the road out to the airport, hotels i was told to cater for the asian package tour crowd.
The red piano on the left of the photo of pub street is a nice little place for a drink. Also fond memories of the red piano as i somehow managed to pick up a lovely Thai lady who was on holiday, staying in a lovely hotel that put my backstreet guest house to shame and subsequently spent the evening with her.( slimmer back then with a full head of hair)
Poipet has not changed then!!
i'm going where the sun keeps shining.................
@Steff
Miss ya too Steff. Think my ex date isn't too pleased with me. She kept on trying to get me to follow her back to Udon Thani (yeah right). So I left her without saying goodbye. Sweet kid though. But your date is very cute brah!
@guydesavoy
Kaka's friends are firmly in my sights. And I keep on postponing Angkor Wat. The petite Khmer ladyboys are such a distraction.
@marshal
Red Piano is not such a little place for a drink anymore. It's a major establishment now, by Cambodian standards. Two storeys of farang drinking away. It's got a tourist trap vibe. Probably a good place to pick up affluent foreigners. Like what you did. That's right, Thais are considered rich foreigners here.
I'll kick back for about a month in Cambodia. Will head south to Phnom Penh once I tire of SR. You should defo check out SR if you enjoyed Vientiane. SR is like Vientiane minus the illegal BS about boning locals. No big yaba scene either. Cheaper than Vientiane too.
SR is perfect for a slice of Cambodian culture, and to analrape Khmer femboyz on the side. Angkor Wat is reason enuff to visit. And with petite ladyboys as a bonus, you can't go wrong tomscam.
Ankor Wat should be on every Asia travellers itinerary. It's STUNNING!!!!!. Bring some passport photos for the pass. Three day pass you may just get to see SOME of the best bits. Bring LOTS of "film" for the camera, and if you see any fcking tourist inscribing Bill loves Mary on a thousand + year old treasure kick the fkckers over the very steep edge. They will have well deserved the fall!

I love Angkor Wat. When you buy a ticket now, they take your photo and it's printed on the ticket. No need to bring passport photos. US$20 for a one day pass, and US$40 for three days.
Pics don't do justice to the epicness of Angkor Wat. I know this "pics don't do justice" business gets thrown around a lot. Probably for BMs to justify shagging dubious mammals. But this is perfectly true of Angkor Wat. Angkor Woot. Angkor Wow.
Climbing weathered stone steps to ancient towers, squeezing through rubble of magnificent ruins, dragging your hands across intricate stone murals. Angkor Wat is one mega supra-experience.
