Day 3

We woke up at 4am to catch a tuk-tuk out to the temples of Angkor. Navigating through the hoard of tourists, we caught the sunrise over Angkor Wat, trailblazed through the jungle temple of Ta Prohm, and scaled the mountainous temples of the ancient city of Angkor Thom. Dehydrated and exhausted, we retreated to our hostel for a quick dip and cocktail in the pool before venturing out for street food and massages in the city center. 

Day 2

We caught a 6am train to the Thai/Cambodian border (a cramped six-hour ride without A/C). After a quick tuk-tuk ride across the border we piled into a van for a two hour stretch to Siem Riep. Fifteen miles out of the city our van blew a tire. We made the best of the situation by enjoying a few beers along the side of the road and playing with the local children. 

Day 1

After twenty hours of flying we finally made it to Bangkok. Despite our jetlag and the oppressive heat we were able to enjoy some shopping. day drinking, and eating. The highlight of our one day in Bangkok was ring side seats to a Muy Thai fight at one of the city's largest stadiums. The fights were exciting (and on one occasion bloody) and after seven to eight bouts we stumbled back to our hostel for an early morning train and day long journey to Siem Riep.
