A Lot Of Not So Good Pictures
Well, I think I must have confused a lot of people with my last post. And I am a bit humbled too, because I thought it would be well received, especially from those who have been there.
Oh well, here are some not so good pictures:
Breakfast at a hotel near June’s apartment in Bangkok. I didn’t stay there, we just had breakfast there one day. I submitted this picture to DPCallenge in the Knife Fork Spoon challenge. It didn’t do very well, but someone made it their favorite.
Behind the Phumin Hotel of my Touts And Scams and Speedboat To Sihanoukville posts. And, no, that is not the speedboat I took.
It’s not all glory, the life of a vagabonder.
This is a spider. He’s large and scary.
My view at breakfast from Jep’s on my first morning on the island of Koh Samet, Thailand
I got the special discount at this hotel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Her name was Liu. At least that’s what she told me.
King Rama the VIII bridge in Bangkok, Thailand at night.
Typical gas station in Cambodia. This one is at the rest stop on the road to Rattanakiri. You often see just one or two of these barrels on the side of the road in front of someone’s snack stand. In Phnom Penh, you’ll see just one barrel on the corner with a lady minding it. You’ll also see people selling motor oil on the side of the road. The oil is in Coke, Pepsi, or 7-Up bottles.
Brian, from California, USA (white T-Shirt, hand in pocket); Megan, from South Africa (directly in front of Brian with small bag in hand), and Rick, from England (red shirt, hand on hip). I met these guys in Kratie, Cambodia. We road to Rattanakiri together in a Toyoto, Camry taxi. They were really cool people. They all teach English in Japan. The day before we went on a boat on the Mekong River to see the Irrawaddy dolphins, then to dinner. They were much needed company for me. I hope their trekking in Rattanakiri went well.
The next picture shows what is in this building.
Can you see what’s in there?
Here’s a closer look. This is from the Killing Fields near Phnom Penh, Cambodia. These are the actual skulls of those murdered by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge.
Found this guy at the Killing Fields.
Discovery Lodge in Bangkok, Thailand. This is where I was staying when I got sick and had to go to the hospital.
Robby Stienhardt and Kerry Livgren incognito at Santichaiprakarn Park in Bangkok, Thailand. (Only one person I know gets this, and you know who you are.)
When you get a warm shower over here, this is how it’s done. The water goes through this electronic heater on the wall. This is what’s in people’s homes too.
Bangkok, Thailand. I submitted this one to the Cheater Challenge on DPChallenge. I came in 46th out of 103 entries. I thought I’d do better, it was one of the very few actual pictures of someone cheating. I called it, One Way To Beat Traffic.
Prisoners being taken away in the Paddy Wagon? No, just another form of transportation in Bangkok, Thailand. Squeeze as many people you can into this bus. It only cost like 3 baht (6 or 7 US cents) for a ride.
Another picture from Koh Samet. Look how clear the water is.
Shot from the roof of the only mall I saw in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Can you see what’s going on in the picture? You can read the answer somewhere in this post.
You see signs like this often in Cambodia, telling people if they do bad they will get arrested. Some of them show hands handing over weapons, and stuff like that.
Number 6 is my favorite, what’s yours?
That’s the end of the pictures. I should have written more about my adventures in the remote areas of Cambodia, but I got lazy. Anyway, it was pretty cool, maybe I’ll write something about it later. Guess where I am now? I’m back in Bangkok, with June.

I knew those guys were touring – I might have to grab a ticket – fly on over and see them.
He knew who he was.
