Kratie & Ko Treung


Kratie is a town the central Cambodia, Most people just come here to see the dolphins. One of the most interesting things I found in the town was this sign.


The whole town is right along the river which makes for really nice sunsets.


All along the river there are little restaurant like things that all sell the same exact thing.

Once day I got the ferry across the river to the island which cost me 1000 riel ($0.25) with a bunch of local people. The island is a sort of eco tourism project where you could do homestays but i didnt get a chance.


Once on the island I rented a bike for $1 and there was a path that went all the way around the island. I bought a bunch of rambuttan and a loaf of bread that I munched on all day


There is a nice beach/sand dune thing all the way around the island which I left my bike and walked on for a while.


In the centre there is a whole bunch of farmland and animals grazing.



It was a nice windy day which made the rice growing look really cool, hard to capture in a picture but I still tried. 

There were a whole bunch of floating houses on one side so the island seemed to have pretty much everything anyone on the island could need.

You can see the town of Kratie here.


In the dunes there were a bunch of pools where the tide water had collected.

Chiang Mai to Huay Xai

I've decided that I'm done with Thailand for now. From the hostel we signed up for a mini van to take us to Chiang Kong, the border town for Laos, and see what we could get up to there. We lucked out on the van and got the seats right at the front so we got a whole bunch of leg room. So it was Nisha, Selena, & I and then the rest of the van was filled with 8 other guys from the UK and the driver. This was one of the best road travel trips I have had so far. The driver let one of the guys plug in his ipod so we were listening to more western tunes and we had the most random conversations the whole time. Along the way the first rest stop we went to was part of a cashew nut factory. I was really surprised how big the fruit was and how small the nut you got was. Inside there was a huge room with samples of all different flavours of cashew nuts and of course i tried them all and didnt buy anything. The next stop we made was at the white temple.

Bali - Ubud and Kuta

Bali is beautiful I wish that we could have spent more time there but we ended up getting stuck on gili. To make up we spent 3 nights in a place called Ubud and did a day tour where we saw soooo much. We saw a traditional Balinese dancing. it was really cool cause there was no instruments. The men who were seated all around chanted and made a whole bunch of different sounds it sounded like there was music coming from all around you. They also made the setting by changing how they were sitting and moving around. at one point they turned into a snake that was transformed from an arrow that was shot by the evil king. afterword there was a man who was dressed as a horse danced around on burning coconut husks. i didnt really understand the reasoning but it was impressive all the same. We went to a bunch of different temples which were all very intricate. Harvested some rice with some old ladies who tried to charge me for it after. The s...

Than Tan Hotsprings - Hue

After an over night bus to the city Hue from Hanoi and checking into a hostel me and some people who were on the Halong Bay tour with me decided that we should do something with our day and that we were going to go to one of the hot springs just outside the city. We asked the lady that worked at our hostel and she said that she could book a taxi for us. We decided that we could get one cheaper somewhere else so we wandered down the street only to find out that we couldnt. So we went back to her and asked for the taxi again. 10 min later a minibus came to pick us up. We thought it would be better anyways because some taxi's cant be trusted and thought this was a safer option. The drive there was really long. we went through little villages and many dirt road. 45 min later we arrived at the hot springs. I read online that there would be some sort of entrance fee which we were fine with but once inside the building by the gate we thought something was off when it said it was 170...
