A five our bus ride dropped us off in the middle of busy Bangkok. We avoided all taxis, tuk-tuks and other touts by catching the skytrain and heading directly to our booked hotel - Baiyoke Sky Hotel. We got a room on the 36th floor of the tallest building in Thailand (309m) and really enjoyed the amnemities of a 4 star hotel. Our favourit part of the hotel was the revolving roof top on the 84th floor and the breakfast buffet served the 82th floor high above Bangkok.
The rest of the time we spent walking around the neighbourhood and discovering the not so touristy Bangkok. We even met some nice and helpful people.
With our online check-in completed we will be heading out to the airport this evening. Our flight leaves at 2h25 am and we are expected to touch down in Dresden tomorrow afternoon.
Our next report will be from Europe.

Koh Chang
Leaving Cambodia for a white sand island we ended up in Koh Chang. We did like our three days on Koh Chang even though we found the people to be unfriendly and spoilt by tourists. For Thai standards the island is quite expensive and the high number of tourists spoils the original laid back island atmosphere (big resorts, rip-off souvenir shops, wanna-be-upmarket shops). In our opinion Koh Chang is not a backpacker's island anymore.
Nevertheless, we spent a wonderful day on the beach and two days exploring the island by motorbike. We also did find a relaxed beach side restaurant (Nune & Ja) which served excellent food at resonable prices. This was the place where we had the best fish (red snapper) in a long time.
Marcus was happy to discover an airfield and took the opportunity to talk with the local pilot but politely declined going up for a ride in the somewhat beaten up ultralight. Instead we crossed the road to visit the local elephant camp where we had the chance to play with two baby elephants.
Our last day took us on an adventureous road to a secluded beach on the southern tip of the island. This is maybe the last spot on the island where you could actually escape the tourist croweds.
Then it was off to Bangkok.

Out of Cambodia
Yesterday we left Cambodia and headed into Thailand. After taking a boat from Siem Reap over the Tonle Sap Lake to Battambang we decided to move on to Thailand.
Together with two other travellers we chartered a taxi from Battambang to Poipet on the Thai-Cambodian boarder. Then a bus to Chanthaburi, another bus to Trat, a Saengthaw to the ferry dock, a boat to Koh Chang and another 2 Saengthaws to our final destination: Tiger Hut. Our trip took us 13 hours but now we can finally enjoy a few days on the white sanded beaches. Tomorrow we will probably rent a motorbike and discover the island a little - today we are just relaxing.

Relaxing in Siem Reap
After getting up so early yesterday morning(4.00 a.m.) to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat we were unfortunate enough not to have a really nice sunrise. Our bad luck was followed by a nasty breakfast (dirty cups, bad tasting food and overpriced). It was the first place in Cambodia where they tried to rip us off. To make things worse the weather changed from bad to awful throughout the day. It was raining cats and dogs and the temperature felt like 10 degree celcius. That would not have been so bad if we had left our warm clothes in the backpack (the day before was so hot that we decided to make some room in the backpack). Well, to top off our bad luck, Marcus has been fighting with a vicious flea that decided to jump on him and bite him up for good.
However, we still had a good day wandering around the temples since only few tourists were around. We were a little bit disappointed about Angkor Wat itself. The most impressive thing was the outside view from the entrance we had the previous day shortly before sunset. Even though the inside reliefs were quite nice and there were only a few people around we had the "same same but different" feeling. Our favourite temple here is the so called "Jungle Temple" - Ta Prohm. This is the one you have in mind when thinking of the mysterious temples in the Cambodian jungle with roots growing around through and over the walls.
The one thing we found quite sad is that many young children wait around the temples trying to sell various items (postcards, bracelets, flutes, books, etc) to tourists. Oftentimes they come up with a sad look in their faces and rely on your pitty to give them some money. Standard phrases are "Madame, wanna buy fluuuute? Two for one dollar." and "Can you give money?" as well as demonstrating their counting skills from one to ten in various languages. At the same time you can see the bundle of dollar bills in their shirt pockets. At least they seem to be going to school in the morning.
After visiting the Bantaey Srei temple which is famous for the incredible detailed stone carvings (it lies 30km north of Angkor) our tuk-tuk driver took us to the floating village (20km south of Angkor). The people here live in small wooden shacks built on stelts over the water (same same as Pfahlbauten in Unteruhldingen am Bodensee). We even saw them cooking with open fire directly in the house (remember, they are built from wood). Meanwhile it was raining heavily and the temperature dropped even further. Imagine our driver didn't have anything like a raincoat or a helmet or glasses to protect him from the rain and the cold. We were really happy to come back to our hotel and have a really hot shower. And our driver probably as well.
So after our long day yesterday we decided to take a day rest and hang out around Siem Reap. We've already had a good breakfast and are now organizing our further travels to Battambang by boat, Koh Chang by bus and on to Bangkok.
We still like Siem Reap (despite our day of bad luck) and it seems to be the one place in Cambodia where money can be found. Many new buildings are being constructed, modern hotels, ATMs and other "western amnemities" can be found. So it is quite different from the rest of Cambodia (so if you visit Cambodia be sure to see both sides of the country - Siem Reap and the countryside outside the "money center").

First days in Cambodia
Due to some requests we decided to continue our blog in English. Somehow we should have done that right from the beginning on…
Now our new update. We landed safely in Cambodia and have already covered some distance here. Due to limited internet access this is so far the first chance we have had to go online. So this is what happened:
We arrived in Phnom Penh with our Jetstar Asia flight which was very good – except for the landing. The pilot kind of missed flaring out the A320 so the landing gear proved what it can take. Anyway, we were taken into town by a taxi and dropped off at the guest house of our choice (Okay Guesthouse) Rooms were great and we had spacious clean rooms with aircon and TV for US$ 10 / night.
The interesting thing in Cambodia is that they use 2 currencies – US$ and Cambodian riel. 4.000 riel equal 1 US$ and it is common to pay with a mixture of US$ and riel (think of the riel as being the cents).
Anyway, we hired a tuk-tuk for the day in Phnom Penh and managed to see about almost everything there is to see in Phnom Penh – starting at Tuol Sleng the infamous S21 prison of the Khmer Rouge and the Killing Fields outside of town. It is devastating to see what the Khmer Rouge have done to Cambodia and its people. The museum and the Killing Fields are quite heartbreaking actually. Anyway, to lighten up a little we visited the Russian market and the Royal Palace before going up to Wat Phnom – the founding site of Phnom Penh.
Our first impressions of Cambodia were friendly people, very dirty environment and absolutely mad traffic. Here people really use every square inch of space available. There would be a lot more to tell you all about but I'd better get on with our "Japanese style" tour…
The next day we headed north to Kratie in a 7 hour bus ride. We arrived in the afternoon and still managed to take a boat out and watch the Irriwaddy dolphins in the Mekong River (yes, freshwater dolphins). Since this is about all there is to see in Kratie we found ourselves on a bus to Skuon the next moring – with a maniac driver. Those were probably the 4 hour of most reckless driving we have experienced in our lives. Gladly we arrived safely in Skuon where we had to wait 3 hours for our connecting bus to Siem Reap – with a much more cautious driver.
Well, so now we are in Siem Reap and spent our first days at the Temples of Angkor. The place is purely amazing – even though it is absolutely overrun by American and Japanese tourists and in some places feels more like Disneyland than an ancient spiritual and cultural heritage site. However there are ways to avoid the crowds and then the place just turns out to be absolutely wonderful. Tomorrow we are heading into the temple area again. Our tuk-tuk driver "Brum" will pick us up at \n4.45 a.m. so that we are in within the park for sunrise. Let's see how many other tourists will manage to be up that early.
So much for the moment – we will probably report again from Thailand. Our plans have changed a little so that we might skip out on Sihanoukville and instead head down to Ko Chang in Thailand for a couple of days. We will definitely decide on that tomorrow or day after tomorrow.
See you then!

Bye, Bye Singapore
Waehrend den letzten zwei Tagen haben wir einfach Singapore genossen und viele Freunde getroffen.
Errol war leider erkaeltet, so dass wir uns nur mit Janice (Neubronner) treffen konnten. Janice ist mit uns nach Sentosa Island rausgefahren und hat uns die neue Singapore-Luxus-Wohngegend gezeigt. Danach waren wir im Hyatt Mittagessen (Straits Kitchen). Das war super-leckeres Essen aus Asien (Malaysisch, Singapore, Indisch, Chinesisch, etc. etc.) ... es war einfach alles dabei und wir haben uns mehr als satt gegessen. Anschliessend hat uns Janice noch gezeigt, wo sie und Errol Ihre neue Wohnung haben - auf Grund von Sanierungsmassnahmen der Stadt muessen sie umziehen.
Kaum im Hostel in Little India zurueck, wurden wir von Ed Goh von SICK Singapore abgeholt. Ed ist dort Technical Advisor im Back Office. Zuerst ging es ins SICK Buero im Sims Drive wo wir alle Kollegen kennenlernen durften. Thomas Lim hat uns dann noch einige Bilder von SICK Anlagen an Flughaefen gezeigt, bevor wir noch mit ihm als Local ins SimLim Square zum Shoppen sind. Anschliessend sind wir dann bei klassischer Musik durch das angeleuchtete Singapore gefahren und haben uns mit Ed, seiner Frau und Ian Oh zum Abendessen im Foodcourt getroffen. Es war wieder ein super-schoener Abend mit hervorragendem Essen :-) Als Abschluss sind wir dann auf den Mount Fabre gefahren wo Thomas und Marcus mit ihren neuen Kameras rumgespielt haben.
Gestern waren wir dann wieder solo unterwegs und haben um 11Uhr im Foodcourt an der Maxwell Street (Chinatown) lecker gebruncht und uns mit einer 70-jaehrigen Singaporianerin unterhalten. Nach einer Sightseeing Tour durch Chinatown und dem Central Business District haben wir beide einen High Tea im Equinox auf der 70ten Etage des Stamford Hotel genossen. Bei einer tollen Aussicht ueber den Boats Quay haben uns der Tee und die Cookies besonders geschmeckt. Den Abend haben wir dann mit einer kleinen Tour durch Suntec City und den Esplenades ausklingen lassen.
Tja ... und nun ist eine Woche Urlaub schon vorbei. Wir haben viel erlebt und ausgiebig die asiatische Kueche genossen und freuen uns nun auf Cambodia. In anderthalb Stunden (19h05 local time) geht unser Flieger und wir sind gespannt, was uns nun erwartet.
Bis bald,
Katrin & Marcus

Batam
We are back in Singapore again after 2 great days with Andi in Batam. Sunday we spent driving around the island and soaking up some of the non-touristy Indonesia. We had some great seafood as well and ended the day with a nice massage in Batam.
Yesterday we visited Andi at work and got a tour around the oil rig he is currently building. After the oil rig tour we took the ferry back over to Singapore and spent the afternoon in the Botanical Gardens and around Orchard Road.
Today we are meeting up with Errol for Lunch and with Ed Goh from SICK Singapore for dinner. It seems to us that one of the main activities here is eating - eating, eating, eating.... hey, but it's great food.
We'll probably log back on before our flight to Phnom Penh on Thursday!
See you then,
Katrin & Marcus.

Andi mas & Pulau Batam
Selamat pagi!
Wir sind nun in Batam angekommen und haben uns mit Andi und Yoan getroffen. Es ist total genial nach so einer langen Zeit einmal wieder die guten Freunde zu treffen!
Aber erst noch ein kurzes Update zu gestern: Wie geplant haben wir uns um 11hoo Singapur Zeit am Fullerton mit Katrins Schwester "Bine" getroffen. Nach einem ausgiebigen Fruehstueck im Foodcourt haben wir den Singapore River befahren und das Raffles Hotel besichtigt. Danach dann noch schnell ins Elektronik Mekka Sim Lim Square wo Bine sich fuer ganz wenig Geld einen SD-Kartenleser besorgt hat.
Dann war es schon Zeit fuer uns die Faehre nach Batam aufzusuchen - und wie es einfach sein sollte, war die verabredete 17h00 Faehre bereits voll, so dass wir das Boot um 18h00 nehmen mussten. Da Andi aber "Batam time" gewohnt ist, und man in Batam einfach kommt wenn es halt passt, war es kein Problem. An der "Imigrasi" hat uns Andi dann in Empfang genommen. Den Abend haben wir dann genutzt, um alle Pubs in Batam unsicher zu machen und uns ueber alle Neuigkeiten auszutauschen.
An dieser Stelle viele Gruesse an Christoph "Bayer" Juergens :-) von Andi und Yoan.
Im Moment sitzen wir in einem Donut Cafe und haben wireless Internet. Draussen schuettet es wie aus Kuebeln, so dass wir noch ein paar Minuten abwarten, bevor wir unsere Island Tour starten.
Am Montag werden wir mit Andi noch McDermett besuchen und uns die Bohrinsel-Baustelle anschauen. Wir sind schon sehr gespannt darauf.
Soviel fuer den Augenblick!

landed in Singapore
Wir hatten zwei gute Fluege mit Emirates Airline und sind soeben - 20h00 local time - in Singapore gelandet. Von Dubai haben wir nur den Airport und die Skyline der Stadt sowie ein paar neue kuenstliche Inseln (The World) gesehen. Nach den 12h Flug freuen wir uns jetzt auf ein gutes Essen im Foodcourt und auf den morgigen Tag. Jetzt holen wir noch unser Gepaeck und einen Stempel fuer unseren Pass ab :-)
Donnerstag, 18. Oktober 2007
Wir sind dann mal weg :-)
Wir freuen uns schon richtig auf die Reise und endlich haben wir auch unsere sieben Sachen zusammengepackt. Wir fahren nun doch mit einem Mietauto, denn auf die Bahn ist ja leider nicht Verlass. Heute um 22h00 geht unser Flieger von München nach Dubai und nach 2 Stunden Aufenthalt weiter nach Singapore.
Also dann ... jetzt geht's los !
Bis bald, Katrin & Marcus

Reisevorbereitungen
Hallo, hi, sawadee-khrab, hello-la, xin-chào, selamat pagi, sua s'dei!
Am 18.10. - also in 2 Wochen - geht unser Flieger und unsere Reisevorbereitungen sind noch nicht weit gediehen! Aber wir sind schon froh überhaupt zu fliegen.
Unsere Reiseroute sieht Etappenziele in Singapore, Batam (Riau Archipel, Indonesien), Cambodia und Thailand vor. Per Flieger geht es von München via Dubai nach Singapore. Die ersten Tage in Singapore und Umgebung werden wir damit verbringen Freunde und Verwandte zu treffen und uns erst einmal gründlich zu erholen.
Die weitere Planung sieht dann eine Rundreise durch Cambodia vor, die uns u.a. nach Phnom Penh, Kratie, Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) und Sihanoukville führt. Der Plan sieht zumindest vor, dass wir dann von Sihanoukville per Boot nach Thailand reisen.
Der Heimflug geht dann am 09. November von Bangkok via Dubai und Düsseldorf nach Dresden.
