One of my favorite shows, The Amazing Race, rolled through one of my recent travel destinations, Cambodia, on the latest episode.

Delayed Thailand Post – Angkor Wat Video
If you have not seen the movie The Killing Fields I highly recommend you do so. Although there are several gut-wrenching scenes it is a must watch movie.

April 11th, 2008- I think I just stepped back in time. I arrived in Cambodia this morning. That is just wierd to say, I’m in Cambodia! Who would have thought. The Siem Reap airport is brand spanking new, cut out of the Cambodian Jungle but as soon as you get off the main “highway” its [...]

Thialand 08 Update: Angkor What?
Just finished 4.5 pretty damn fun days in Cambodia. I’m killing an hour or so today before all my planes, trains, Tuk Tuks, and Motos today. Hopefully, I’ll end up in Chang Mai which is Northern Thailand today but there is no telling. I’ve had to switch around some of my flights and my last [...]
