Cambodia (Angkor)-Thailand (Phi Phi Island-great city-Bangkok) 4

31MAR08

Because today with MR BIG (TUTU drivers) arranged to Angkor Temple at sunrise, we 4: 00AM up early in the morning with a dry food for breakfast, 5: 00AM clock set off, following the scheduled itinerary, we have been playing, playing to a modest 15: 30PM again GOLDEN TEMPLE for lunch.

Another segment of the episode: on the way back to the GOLDEN TEMPLE, a local police turn to tourism TUKTUK car licence checks.

Original in local open tourism TUKTUK car license plate is to have a license. If not, the driver is required to own a number of small vest coat off to the police. But this is not a licence in the body of the driver is our "BIG" MR diamond drivers, he got in the car for a while, watching we wait, put your own number coat to the police. See this situation, we asked him how to get back in that dress? "he said to go back and get a license to them before they can get back to that dress, then he asked whether we can go back to the GOLDEN TEMPLE way after his home, let him home for a look at the licence?, we quite sympathize with him, so I promised him, but also feel the local Government Council in order to guarantee the safety of tourists, the prohibition of the arbitrary in tourists pheasant car, doing a local law and order.

So his home is in Angkor Temple opposite some small shops nearby, as he drove his car lead the TUKTUK, surprise us into a jungle, quite scary, no one around to the front after a little full of trees, flinch.

Approximately five minutes--the five minutes we had been worried about (T_T), and finally to MR BIG family. He parked outside let's sit and wait for him, he period of time, we see what he said, is to use some grass shed tie-up (rain might be leaking), very simple. As if it did not see the power supply wires, it is estimated that evening by candle bar nor to fans in this hot weather, no fan min minutes will be hot died. And their living conditions, we can say is thank God for the grace of God...

After a while he came back with some local fruit, we eat, and told us that he could not find the license that may be missing, and then take us back to the GOLDEN TEMPLE.

Then, we sympathize with his troubles, but for our trip to go to that place, perhaps he wouldn't be so bad, so we gave him some tips.

He also found it accidentally thank us. (This may be Chinese tourists rarely give a tip of exigencies! we on the first day did not leave a tip, just make him eat fruit only)

Into the GOLDEN TEMPLE during the meal, we also find DANAY.

Because you do not wish to in the first three days too tired, so changing our third day trip, shortening. Not to take the BOAT to go to the place. The results we were returning USD20. There were also asked about the third day of the driver, as MR BIG no licence, DANAY said to us for additional drivers. So we asked a number of mouth, if licences are missing, do you want to give money to run a new? to the fruit we are told to go get a USD7 element, suddenly felt the grassland from drivers good poor, probably several days of work done is white. In talking with DANAY know GOLDEN TEMPLEL tomorrow to tenants leave, but you can help us to set aside, let us tomorrow can stay GOLDEN TEMPLE, housing prices USD18 (original price USD26) to avoid them in the room to someone else, we want to advance your room rates, but the GOLDEN TEMPLE only accept USD10, we pay only when you CHECK OUT the rest of USD8.

We provide room is on the second floor (first floor, OH!) on the second floor have a small balcony, public but in the best ROOM on the second floor is 22 and 46, because there is a small PRIVATE balcony.

We are also very lucky, DANAY left us is ROOM22, haha! apart from this, because we intend to 02APR ride Echo Bay, just back to DANAY enquiries on the border. Find out, the original GOLDEN TEMPLE also help passengers cars Echo Bay, the starting point in the GOLDEN TEMPLE air-conditioned car USD9 element one (we have also been informed by DANAY frankly those cars, most of the air conditioning is broken, there could be no air conditioning air-conditioning is equal to), indeed, Gulch by Siem Reap echo the road is very poor, I remember last time package TAXI to process, then the driver to open a window for a while, outside, some unpleasant odor ran into the carriage, sorry, thought of this, we must ENSURE to have air conditioning, it is intended that a private home.

DANAY tell us private costs is USD27 Echo Bay border, but also allows us to put in the GOLDEN TEMPLE, Zhang MEMO about peer 1 ~ 2 persons who go to SHARE this fare.

If there are two people and we'll SHARE car costs so much cheaper!! so we follow her advice, out of a paper seek peer ' MENO 02APR08 morning 8: 30PM start echo Bay.

So we in the GOLDEN TEMPLE toss one afternoon, then back to SAWASDEE INN grooming at ANGKOR returned to GOLDEN TEMPLE for dinner and then go back rest waiting for tomorrow.
