Watch out Cambodia...
I had an amazing couple of weeks in Thailand catching up with old friends + family and even managed to sneak in a few Muay Thai + Boxing sessions too, i forgot how great Thailand can be, landed back in the kingdom this morning and apart from having to go through the visa process twice because they initially gave me a Tourist visa when i had marked Ordinary visa, so they had to do it again and give me the E visa i wanted, i normally just give my passport to a lingering officer and give him a little tip to fast track it, but the visa people seem to be better organised and quicker than previous experiences (but still made the mistake with my visa)
one thing i did notice on the journey to my guesthouse was that 99% of motorbike riders now wore helmets, a good 50-75% of passengers wore helmets, and the amount of bikes with nice shiny brand new number plates on their bikes haha seems like everyones taking the new laws seriously not sure what it will be like in SHV though lol
i havent got too much time to relax as i already have my first boxing session today at 2pm! lol
i know a few people have inboxed me already, but i'm in PP for the next few days so if anyone fancies a cheeky beer or 3 or some lunch while im in the neighborhood then drop me an inbox

Are you 100% sure you made it to Cambodia? I have a feeling you overshot and ended up in Vietnam.Jamie_Lambo wrote:

Re: Watch out Cambodia...
Yesterday followed a few moto's down to the market, the 3 in front no no plates, one in 4 moto's had helmets, very few passengers had. Maybe they all know the back roads to avoid the BIB? At night no Khmers seem to have helmets same as usual. Saw the TP out in force on several areas of main st and cover about a third of Golden Lions roundabout with their web. I think they busy enough catching new tourists at the moment. Still seeing rental moto's with obvious new tourists going round unplated. So the rental owners don't care that the moto's might get confiscated or is it all part of the plan to get more T money.? Still not clear who, Khmer or subversive yuons needs a license to ride under 125cc! Went to renew my big moto license yesterday at Anna's, they said "hold on we don't know what the ministry is doing, they telling us nothing"
So all in all, no change, the sun's out, beer is cold, welcome back to SHV, Sinville, Shitsville!
