So can I endorse you “already”:http://popagandhi.com/123/more-asia-travel? Here goes another advert for you:
“Starting 15 December, Jetstar Asia flies to the city of Phnom Penh on the mighty Mekong, and from 16 December, to the ancient city of Siem Reap, home of the magnificent Angkor Wat. Now, you can discover the Kingdom of Cambodia from only $128! Simply book by 27 November 2005 and travel by 25 March 2006.”
Dare I say the days of flying SilkAir at $700++ are over (with the alternative being the hard roads from Bangkok, or going to KL to take a dinky AirAsia flight)?
Relevant links — “Jetstar Asia”:http://www.jetstarasia.com/, “Cambodia travel guide”:http://www.travelfish.org/country/cambodia.
Somebody asked me for my genuine opinion on Cambodia, since I’d never articulated it on the open. I think it’s a combination of (1) I’m glad I’ve seen the Angkor Wat and love it (2) but give me Laos or Vietnam any day and (3) the answer to the “sirreee buy me one book” is a loud and resounding “A-Te!”
Nevertheless, that there are now cheap and direct flights to these places creates even more possibilities for overland travel, with half the butt ache. I posted this for the several of you who, swayed by my lovely travel tales (especially Surviving A Shower In A Border Town), plan to make the same trip yourselves.
