In order to make a economical (bhs keren buat ngirit, kkkk....)trip, I decided to make overland to Cambodia from Bangkok so It took 6 hours by train from Hua Lampong, Bangkok to Arayanprathet (5:55am till 11:55am), Arayanprathet to the Border by Tuk-tuk, from border walking across to Poipet, and finally 4 hours from Poipet to Siam Reap by bus (I met several scam here, like the tuk-tuk driver tried to take me to make A Cambodian Visa which is more expensive than it should be and the cambodian officer told us to pay more for the express visa which is not neccesary, the bus driver took us to the restaurant where the foods prices are higher, etc).
Well,the next day I went to Angkor Wat (the ticket for 1 day is $20, 3 days is $40) after all that long and frustrating trip, seeing the Angkor make it all worth it.
Until now, I still fascinated how could mankind ever built something like that. It is huge, beautiful, amazing and unbelievable.
This Temple has been a very bless to many cambodian, It attracts tourist to come.
Cambodia is still a very poor country, it still struggeling. so friend, if you do visit the country, please stay alittle bit longer and do buy, spend some money on the cambodian. $1 or 2 means alittle for us but it does a big help to them. And these are some of the photos I took there, It's impossible to show you all the picture so I pick some of the best include the one where Angelina Jolie kicked asses in the film Tomb Rider (Sorry, My english is a mess, hehehehee..... If you have any question about traveling overland from Thailand to Cambodia don't hesitate to ask me maybe I can help)
