Flew to Cambodia for a B1 to Non O visa change. Previous times before I always went to Siem Reap for Visa stamp. Flying back to Thailand in a few hours.
Wife and I did a few days touring around. Geeezus what a shit hole. Makes Thailand look like a top place. For fun I did a ride by the river front and it was loaded with typical old coffin dodger westerners groping some tore up looking Cambo girls drinking beer. Standard stuff like Pattaya. I didn't see any Shrewd Punter types trying to do the Line app con.
When I was at the Thai Embassy I watched some Brit lose his fookin mind as the passport runner guy was late. He screamed, walked in circles and smoked a pack of cigs out front. Then some American guy shows up and starts on to me about how he had a special diplomatic passport and how he was doing secret stuff for the military. My wife laughed and said 'That guy was such a liar. If he was all that he said he wouldn't be standing in line in a cheap printed T shirt, tore up shorts and cheap sandals. He would have hired a runner" The shit some foreigners spew is utterly amazing.
Hotel was nice and clean. Hot water was random. Tuk Tuk rides were fun. I didn't wear a mask so I could take in all the diesel and exhaust fumes and the various smells of rotting garbage along the roads. We went to the killing fields, the museum, Royal Palace. All interesting for my wife being she had never been.
I did find it interesting to see so many Ranger Rovers, Toyota Tundra trucks and big Lexus rides everywhere. Huge affluent to poor gap. I would however love a Toyota Tundra truck in Thailand.
Overall trip was a personal business deal. Had I spent thousands of dollars to vist the place I'd be pissed. I will post some random pics later.
