Cambodia, Vietnam & Thailand 2001

In summer 2001 on the way back from Korea to Germany I extended a stop-over in Bangkok to travel 5 weeks through the South-East-Asian region. Here on this site you can find the links to the photos I uploaded. They are hosted at my album at Pixum , a German online picture services provider. If you follow the above link you will get an overview of all my albums at this site. Alternatively you can follow the following direct links. 

Königreich Kambodscha

Kingdom of Cambodia

I startet my travel in the Kingdom of Cambodia by flying from Bangkok to Phnom Penh. Here you could still easily feel the cruel past of the nation. Followinf some days in the capital I went by boat to Angkor Wat in the North. The incredibly gigantic palace ruins, partly deep in the jungle, with their richness in sculpture details are really impressive. Here the direct link to my Cambodia album:

Sozialistische Republik Vietnam

Socialist Republic of Vietnam

Back in Phnom Penh I took a bus over the border to Vietnam. I escaped the ATM-less Cambodia with just 1 Dollar in my pocket, thanx to the border police, who took just marginal fees. After some days in Ho Chi Min City (or Saigon) I made a 3-day-tour through the Mekong-Delta, where I travelled with Ling and Joan (from Singapore and Holland). After that I went up the coastal line a little bit and turned to the Highlands of Dalat, where I made some hiking and canyoning trips with Hardy Dalat , the best adventure sports guide in town.
