Today we checked out of the hotel, had our breakfast and sadly left Cambodia!
We caught a flight from Siem Reap to Bangkok with Air Asia. We enjoyed the view from the plane over the local countryside. However, we think if we'd been allocated seats on the other side of the plane, we may have had an ariel view of Angkor Wat.
We arrived in Bangkok and all went smoothly with passport control. We caught the train from the airport to the centre and walked to the river then ... the heavens opened! We sheltered from the downpour under one of the piers for the river boats. We found out that we could not catch a boat there so had to walk to the next pier through some really interesting backstreets.
Eventually we caught a boat and travelled down the river on a fast ferry. A fun experience! We then took the sky train and the metro to where we were staying. We then had our first opportunity to sample Thai food on the trip and it was really good. Especially the tom yam soup! Highly recommend.
We have avoided the areas of the Thai protests but have heard that there are a lot of people protesting against the Government. If you look closely at the picture, in the centre, you can see the protestor's buses.
