Passing Time in Cambodia

I went though Cambodia this time round as a primary Visa run. I had to stay in Cambodia long enaugh so that once I re-entered Thailand, the one month entry would last me all the way to the begining of May.

So once I got to Pailin and stayed the night, it was a day of gambling in the Casino and then a dash to Siam Reap where I booked a room for a few nights and stayed in to escape the heat. 

If I had never mention this before, Pailin is my fav Gambling Border Town in South East Asia. Easy going, chill, currency accepted in Cambodian Riel or Thai Baht, low limit tables, best hospitality and never too crowded.

Yep it was blazing hot during the day in Apr and I just stayed inside the air-condition room every day for three nights only surfacing outside for food and water.

Night time was usually spend just drinking and watching the Pub Street crowd and while I would always come back to Cambodia for the easy access to comfort and ammenities, there was not much left for me to explore in this country.

Cambodia became a mandatory stop to get some chores done mainly :

1. Withdraw USD currency for emergencies

2. Extend Visa for Thailand

3. Replenish or Deminish my Bank Acc depending on Casino Luck

After time was up in Siam Reap, I rode in a single day to O’smach border and crossed over to Thailand.
