No ants

It appears that the ants only came back one day and since then, have disappeared completely. Voodoo??? But I am not complaining.

Pattaya

Pattaya is a seaside city on the , kind of on the way between Cambodia and Bangkok, so I decided to spend a day or two of my short holiday to see something of the Thai beaches. Pattaya is however more famous as a party-place and streets are lined with countless bars filled with young thai girls. May not be the ideal place for families on holiday.

Angkor Wat

So then was the goal of this trip reached: Angkor Wat of Cambodia. I purchased a three-day ticket and toured plenty of temples over several days around the huge ancient city of Angkor. Angkor Wat is only one of the complexes but the most impressive and magnificent.

Crossing the border from Thailand was another adventure with touts trying to cheat tourists with "inofficial" visa offices, offering visas for inflated prices. Between the borders, there is a perfectly fine working official desk where all torists should apply for visas and it is always open during border times so if you are attempting this, never listen to guides, travel agents or transporters claiming otherwise. Even better, get an e-Visa online to save money and take immune to all cheats.

Bangkok

Well then I have arrived in Thailand, home country to almost half the population of Älvdalen, Sweden. Not very bad here at all actually, even though in the beginning of the rain period. Bangkok is modern and offers plenty of sights. I could stay here for a while, if it wasn't for the fact that I had to get back to the office and that I want to see a couple of other things while still in this part of the world.

A little note is the security. Comparing to travelling in South America, South-East Asia is like Fort Knox. Are there a single million population city where you can walk around almost anywhere, almost any time of the day (or night), without having to worry about being robbed? I would be surprised. Watch and learn, Mr Chavez of Caracas.
