Three countries. One day.
Leaving Siem Riep meant only one thing. Three countries. One day. Due to the high airfare prices this time of year in Southeast Asia, we put our bets instead on some ground travel. To get to Yangon, Burma by 9pm we started at 8am with taxi from Siem Riep to Cambodia/Thailand border, waited in a hot but short line for Cambodia to let us out of their lovely country, made friends with big piggies ready to cross the border too, walked across the friendship bridge for the two neighboring lands, sweated it out with hundreds of fellow foreigners for 3 hours waiting for Thailand to let us in, sucked it up and paid to get a 3 hour taxi to get to Bangkok airport, found globalization gleeful with a DQ at the Bangkok airport, got as comfy as possible on our propeller plane across the border to Burma, and patiently waited with a smile to get that third passport stamp of the day.
