7,400 kms in 42 days
Phuket- Hua Hin- Ayuthaya- Chiang Mai- Chiang Rai-Phu Chi Fa-Nan-Chiang Khan (if u have not been - go before its spoiled, lovely old thai town on the Mekong)-Surin- Siem Rep ( no temples this trip)- Steung Treng- up to the Khong Phapheng waterfalls ( Beautiful ) below 4,000 islands - Banlung- Sen Monorom- PP- Kep- Svay Rieng- PP- Pailin- Cha am- Phuket
All in all, visited some old favorites and some new places ( eastern Cambodia) the roads in northern an eastern Cambodia are great an very little traffic, would be great on a road bike, forest is being removed very fast. New homes going up everywhere!!
Kep- Kampot, in the past 2 years has doubled in size for expats, ( Kep went from 50 resorts, gh's to over 120) find to hard to believe the many (way to many) gh,resorts, restaurants even break even during the low season.
Only got stuck 3 times in the mud, on roads i should not have been on but i love to travel by car, wouldn't have it any other way.
Comments are always welcome. adventures??? next back to Myanmar and a motorcycle trip thru the Chin State

Re: Latest trip
Really amazing pics, Richard! I'm always impressed with my Samsung Note pics, until I see pics like these.
What happens when you "get stuck"? Just wait around for some helpful rubber-neckers or what?

Re: Latest trip
But where are all your good photos, I could not find them.
Spoiler:
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
