Bangkok Overland to Siem Reap: Some Lessons Learned

Bangkok is in chaos, it’s all over the news and I am clueless because I haven’t watched the TV for more or less 2 months! I can’t cancel my flight, I’ve been waiting for this trip since January, besides, it’s a big hassle since I paid cash for the expensive airfare since there’s no promo on my flight dates.

While most tourist would spend 2-3 days in Siem Reap, I opted to stay for 1 week. Like I said, after my quick trip to Ayutthaya, I vowed never to be in a hurry in one country again as it defies the real essence of traveling.

The plane touched down at 12 am at BKK airport, again, I wasn’t able to to register on Roaming, so my phone is plain useless. Like before I slept at the airport until sunrise. I was so pre-occupied during the past few months that I failed to plan my Cambodia trip, I didn’t even change my peso to US$ before leaving the Philippines which was a BIG mistake!!! Left me no choice but change my peso to US$ at BKK airport, but the employee at the money exchange refuse saying, it’s not good for me, Php100 is converted to US$1!! What!!??? Oh, well, I have no choice.
