The flight from Sri Lanka to Bangkok went well, but left us tired
anyway - but a red-eye was all they offered us. We spent a couple of days in Bangkok
getting organized for the flight to Siem Reap in Cambodia and the ruins in the area.
The Siem Reap and Angkor Wat
pictures - I took 450 in 3 days - are in a page by themselves.
We returned to Bangkok on Dec 1, then took a train to Chaing Mae in northern Thailand. We cycled south from there for about 600km then took the train back to Bangkok. The pictures are here. Another train ride to Hua Hin in southern Thailand (we were running out of time and it was very hot) for a couple of days, then the train again into Malaysia. Our time in Malaysia was spent with two of my Internet friends (people known only through exchanges of emails on the topics of bird pictures taken with digital cameras and birding scopes, who turned on the Malaysian hospitality for our time in Ipoh. Brenda has kept up her diary. There are three chapters for the month spent in eastern Asia.
