After spending a few days in Siem Reap we then took a very bumpy and fairly untravelled route - heading east to the Ratanakiri province stopping off in a small town called Kratie along the way... Here we cycled through villages and past paddy fields to take a boat out to see some of the few remaining freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins.
The journey from Kratie to Ban Lung (Ratanakiri province) was an interesting one - 8 of us all squeezed into a toyota corola!!! No joke - 4 in the back, 2 in the passenger seat, and oh yes - the final 2 in the drivers seat!!!! How we ever made it in one piece we'll never know....! I guess just like we do everytime we get in a vehicle in Asia! hee hee! All good fun. Also, such a small world as one of the 8 was a guy we'd met briefly in Rajhastan (Tom from England), such a small world! So the 3 of travelled together for the next week or so which was cool.
