Money Exchange on the street (Siem Reap, Cambodia - 16/03)

We arrived in Cambodia, with Baht and few US$. Even if the rate was bad, we
had to get quickly some Riel!!

Stressful Border Crossing (on the way to Poipet, Cambodia - 15/03)

Challenge today: this is our last visa day in Thailand: we have to cross today.
That starts well: the train to the first bus connection is full...Fortunately, we find a bus that goes in the same direction.

We have been told about tension between Thailand and Cambodia in the north border, we want to go more south. Still the driver is keeping a gun on the steering wheel arm...

Many checkpoints on the road...

We left Thailand, no penalties for late departure!!

Here we are in Cambodia, no harm!!
