Read MoreComing to Cambodia
Cambodia was a country we planned to do for one reason and that was Angkor Wat, but we decided we should do this country some justice and see at least some of the countryside as we traveled from the Border with Vietnam to Phnom Penh (PP) and then again onto Siem Reap.

So we did it and with no accidents or missed trains we made it all the way south by train and bus from Beijing to Laos. For those who are interested about our journey below if a map of the route.

Our first train ride started as all first train rides do, with fear and panic! Before we had even left the hostel Steph had deemed it more important to finish off tumble drying our clothes than perhaps leaving on time to collect our tickets before we even can get on the train.
