I joined a G Adventure tour and left Thailand a few days ago by minibus for Cambodia. Fortunately we had an air conditioned van as the heat outside just got hotter as we approached the border. The guide helped us through a very interesting process of leaving Thailand, walking across the border, through Cambodia immigration (having paid our $45 USD), took a 5 minute bus ride to join our new bus, waited for porters to bring our luggage and then be on our way again arriving in Battambang for our first night. We rode on a bamboo railway, saw how rice paper and rice noodles are made in the old way.
Yesterday we toured a local heritage home and were treated to a delicious Cambodian lunch of fish, rice, and veggies. Again it was hot when we arrived in Siem Reap. A nice hotel with limited wifi. Thank goodness for air con in the rooms!
This morning we got up at 4:30 am to catch the bus to see sunrise on the legendary Angkor Wat. We had a wee breakfast and the toured 3 different temple complexes in the stifling heat. It rained while we walked through which only increased the humidity. We are all drinking 3 - 4 bottles of water each day.
