Bangkok to Siem Reap Day #2



After a 4 1/2 hour bus ride to the Cambodian boarder the real adventure began. State route #6, the road from the boarder to Siem Reap, is notorious for over priced taxi rates and 140 km of dirt and gravel or impassible clay mud after a rain. Our journey went rather smooth, some haggling at the boarder for a car (typical) and then a smooth.... well not really smooth but quick, dry, and exciting. After a rain last night other travelers have found themselves in a bus stuck in the mud to it's axles, stranded 40km from Siep Reap.
