So after sitting it out for a couple of days on the beach (hard life!) we made the 12 hour bus trip from Cambodia to Bangkok. On our approach to Bangkok I received a phone call from BA asking if we were in Bangkok and whether we could make a 20:00 bus from Bangkok to the military airbase to then get a flight to Singapore; being honest I said we would not get to Bangkok until 20:30 so we missed our easy ticket out by 30 minutes – gutted.
Once in Bangkok we checked into our accommodation then hit Koh San Road! We bumped into Tommy who is of course stuck here (with Vinny) waiting it out like the other 100,000 people, so of course we arranged to meet later for a beer or two!! Over several internet phone calls to BA UK (BA Thailand was closed for the weekend!) and with a great deal of help from Debs we made a reservation for a flight out of Singapore on Wednesday morning – Oz would have to wait!
But how do we get to Singapore? All the budget flights from Phuket to Singapore were sold out until Thursday, the train was sold out, so we were left with one option – bus; no ordinary bus – a THIRTY SIX HOUR bus journey – oh my god! With those travel plans in place we spent what was then our only full day in Bangkok SHOPPING! Chloe bag shopping to be precise!
And now we are setting off for Singapore – god hopes the journey isn’t from hell! We are due to fly from Singapore Wednesday at 09:00 local time and get to Sydney 20:00 (local time), just a few days late! Fingers crossed!
Photo’s will come later, as we haven’t time just now – route track also!
JESUS…36hrs sat on a bus…hope your ipod is fully charged!!
Ahhhhh Bless your poor bums……Not like mine with plenty built in padding !!
Hope the seats are comfy !!!!!!
Take Care
Love mam xxxx
Hi,
I’ve been looking at your site and I think it’s perfect for a campaign I am working on, on behalf of Tourism Australia. Although it would be great to get your opinion to see if you agree?
For you or any of your readers who are aged between 18–30 and looking for an adventure or career break, what do you think of this……..?
We have created a really cool widget that allows anyone with a question regarding a working holiday visa to Australia, to be able to embed this on their site, so your readers can use and interact with it! This will be available shortly.
We also have a really cool competition running where you can choose your adventure:
“Win an Aussie Working Holiday including flights to Oz and your choice from 6 great month-long, paid job placements”. I’ve listed 3 of the options below:
• Make the ocean your ‘office’ and dolphins your ‘colleagues’ by becoming a dive guide near Perth
• Join the team at the award-winning Prairie Hotel in the South Australia outback
• Have a Red Centre adventure serving dinner under the stars at Ayers Rock resort
I think you’re site would be a perfect fit for this! What do you think?
Please let me know if you would consider posting something up on your site? I have images, video, the interactive widget, and a whole bunch of other assets that I could send you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Harriet
Hey,
