The people of Cambodia
The people here have a very gentle way about them. It is just amazing how nice they all are!!
Scooters everywhere
Motorbikes are everywhere here.....many times three or four people at a time. Often, you will see tiny little babies(like this one) ride on them with no helmets...
Cambodia is SUPER HOT!!!!!
As you can tell by my shirt....it is way too hot in Cambodia!!! I have been in hot weather before....but this takes it to a whole new level!!!!

Pattaya City
I took this for a bar at the end of the pier.....tomorrow morning I leave for Cambodia at 8am. It's only a 35 min flight...I hear it's even hotter over there!!!
More photo's of Pattaya
I really loved this small little town...you can see why in the pictures. It is about a 2 hour drive south of Bangkok.Everyone should checkout aplace like this if they every get the chance...
Pattaya
On day three I went to this coastal town of Pattaya on the advice of Mr. Enochs. Wonderful place and was in the sun a little too long!!
Excellent food!
I have yet to eat at a real restaurant...I go mostly to street vendors which are fun. Or to some kind of market area like the one showen here. Very good and super spicy.......
sorry about the sideways pics....
A lot of these temples are right in the middle of town. Massive amounts of people just on the other side of the walls of these beautiful temples.
More Temples
Woke up very early and checked out a few more temples....little burnt out of them by the end of the day.
Do I really have to say anything in this photo?
As you can tell I did a ton my first day. I ended the night by having a few beers at this bar.....and then an elephant walked in...it happens....right???
Thai Boxing match
This was a pretty cool outdoor stadium, with a little tin roof over it. The people were really into it. Fans for each fighter sit on the side of the boxers corner. They go crazy each time the boxer the are pulling for lands a punch or kick. They asked me if I would go it and fight. I said no, on the account of my hert leg and all. Looking back on it ......... I could have been the next Karate Kid!!
Me in the Tuk Tuk
Tuk Tuk is one type of taxi you can take in Bangkok. One of the crazy things about this city is the driving. When you see a bunch of ants in the same place going a million different directions...well that is like the streets of Bangkok.
My taxi driver
He drove me around all day for pretty cheap...like 3 american dollars. I feel like I over paid a bit...
keeping it temple
One of the many temples of Thailand. This one was over 5 stories high and the lenght of 1 1/2 football fields!!
Weekend market in Bangkok
So many people in Bangkok.....this was at the crowded weekend market. It was super, super hot...
Crickets anyone?
BTW....I really didn't try any of this food. I know I do some foolish things time to time...but this is crossing the line!
That would be cockroach's in the back!!
My stomach started to hurt after all there treats! I guess if you eat too much of anything good...it could make your tummy hurt!
Tasty!!
This ladie had a wide varity of different local flavors!!I really don't know what these are....like baby chickens maybe...tasted great with a little hot sauce.
Day one Thailand
Just got into to Bangkok and went to this huge weekend flea market on the advice from someone I meet on the plane ride over.
