Our week started where they left off, in the heart of Bangkok. Traditionally, it was for us next in the local zoo, the Dusit Zoo. He was formerly a royal garden and is now a mix of park and zoo. In any case, crawls and flies it in every corner, we saw hippos, elephants and even a couple of anacondas. The park impressed above all by the fact that the animals had no beautiful enclosure, as in Europe, but crammed together, pretty close to inspect the visitors were.
Such was also one times twenty alligators in a fence, or a uranium-Tang reach. This is perhaps not the best for the animals, but certainly for the visitors. Moreover, relatively large turtles were released through the park, with which one could make comical pictures. The real highlight was the sea that ran through the area, because this was populated by giant lizards, which we considered only for crocodiles. Determined three feet long were the greatest of these critters, and otherwise was also all the water from populated some monstrous fish. Unfortunately, the lending of this pedal already closed so we could not make a romantic trip with the kids more Godzilla.
Actually, we wanted also visited the residential area of the King, but that was how it turns out, fully guarded and not open to visitors, too bad. For this, we ran again to the area of the palace Parunsakkawan who knew to please its European architecture immediately. In the evening we met the Americans a few days in an Irish pub again, the live music attracted many people. So we made also with a few Thai and Swedish acquaintance. In any event, we moved through the bars and clubs of Bangkok and enjoyed once again fantastic nightlife. Next, we booked our flight then the next destination, Cambodia. Since we already had scoured for all our interesting attractions, it was therefore only wait and enjoy the vibe of the City. That meant us about as much: see and hang out from time to time a street dealer in order not to starve.
I was in between but also make a visit the Royal Centre (subsequently), which on the one hand, impressive, on the other comes along only tacky and cluttered. Thus, there are temples, palaces and shrines en masse, but only three buildings are generally accessible, which reduces the whole thing a bit. In addition, the heavily armed child soldiers but look more bargain than obscure. The highlight of the site is certainly an emerald Buddha, which is actually made of jade. But that is only 35 centimeters high, so I asked a somewhat puzzled Australian, whether the thing would be there at all. In addition, also shine the lobby of the King for state visits and the many stone figures. All in all it was worth, but his entry, even if it did not meet all our expectations. had learned then we met again in the evening Andy and Mark, we know in Ko Tao. When you share from our previous experiences, it was then quite late, thus the term getting up the next morning, not just simplified. We had to get that is our plane and went shortly after eight Clock by taxi to the brand new Bangkok International Airport. It is certainly huge, but still clear, although we in the meantime for Breakfast in the sky lounge lost, the price list made us disappear very quickly. After we had exchanged a few U.S. dollars, we went to check in even when aufrauchen we could not even ... although the bus for at least ten minutes, not moving from the spot. Our plane was then quite comfortable, with just eighty places and even two propellers on the engines and despite the low travel time (1:15 hours), we were even served a decent meal.
The first thing we had to do in Cambodia, the three identical cards to fill entry to get hold of a visa. The cost twenty dollars or twenty-two when either no photo it was not Mr. Dobrick.
All in all, but rip off, but straightforward. After our traditional beer airport, we went by taxi to the city. Whose driver had indeed only nice and wanted to sell us even grass, but his real job to take us to our hotel, he did not really. First, he drove us to take our Royal Hotel, the Royal Crown. After that it claimed would be no Royal Hotel and we wanted to impose one of its hotels and when I wanted him lead the way, he suddenly understood no English more. So by walking on and what a miracle, no problem, we found our accommodation and were not disappointed by it. We even pay-TV and a personal tuk-tuk driver for Angkor. Oh, we're now in Siem Reap, 750,000 inhabitants, yet very relaxed, perfect starting point for the temples of Angkor. The city looks more like a small town and the many restaurants in the colonial sweet are simply fantastic, the river is indeed Asia Typically completely brown, but some children still swim in it. Otherwise, Cambodia is far from annoying begging (infants, the wrap around your leg) and the total absence of traffic rules (here, take a traffic light opposite to legends cars simply both tracks and proceed at green in the middle by the other traffic) . After I had my grad still give yourself a reflexology massage, We see now from the comfort Champions League and be morning so that we start from the spiritual beauty of the World Heritage Angkor Wat let's hide.
