Onward to Vietnam 17-3-2007

From Phnom Penh we made our way to Vietnam, crossing the border at Moc Bai. A fairly painless border crossing this time compared to entering Laos as we had bought our visas in advance back up in Chang Mai. We were headed for Saigon where we'd spend a week - to see the city itself and to use it as a base for tours beyond the city. Our plan then is to fly from Saigon back to Bangkok, saving us the horrible bus journey between Siem Reap and Thailand (or so we're told). The rumor is that some airline is paying the Cambodian government to not repair the road there, so that people keep buying flights to the city.

Unfortunately, we didn't have time to start making our way north through Vietnam as we were beginning to run out of time. But how bad? You need something to come back for right?
