The Road Siem Reap

After our stay on the River Islands, it was back on land, and after being moved from one mini van to the next as well as running out of petrol, we finally arrived at the border to Cambodia 🇰🇭 👏 however getting across was more of a challenge then we had thought we had read up and knew that it was a ranked the world's 3rd most tedious border crossing...
We held our ground with some Canadian travelers about not paying stamp fees, which the guards insisted on after 15 minutes of squabbling we a group of 8 or 9 people got taken into the buildings for interrogation.
While we listened outside as the conversation with a Canadian couple got more heated, we decided to give the Swiss embassy a call which for the first time was actually able to help not just us 3 Swiss citizens but managed to calm the guards down and let us on our way with our rightly free stamp in our passports. Time to cross border 2 hours. Once we made it across, we were back in a minivan getting loaded up as the journey continued to Siem Reap, where we arrived just as it got dark.Leggi altro
