After a flight from the Philippines to Thailand via
Kuala Lumpur I arrived in Bangkok late in the evening.
Victorias 
plane was
scheduled to arrive 3 hours later and was sadly delayed. So I waited at the airport for about 4 hours until finally Victoria appeared in the arrival hall. It felt really good to be reunited after 3 months of separation. We than drank mate until the early morning to catch the downtown bound bus. In the afternoon I slept the first time in 36 hours. Bangkok has a lot to offer: Chinatown, heaps of W
ats, huge markets, modern houses, crumbling shacks, parks, universities and a Swiss embassy.
That's were I collected my new bankcard after I lost the other one in the Philippines. We visited most of the places except
the Presidential Palace where Victoria didn't comply with the dress code.
Khao San is
extremely touristy, but still offers a lot of surprises and charming side all
eys. After two nights and post jet lag we decided to
head to Siam Reap in Cambodia. The train has already left so we had to take the bus. Only half way through the journey we
noticed a section in the Lonely Planet called "Bangkok Siam Reap bus scam". So we payed to much for the bus itself, we payed to much for the visa and we changed US dollar to the local currency even though dollar is much more commonly accepted. bummer
