We crossed the border from Cambodia into Thailand without trouble this afternoon and some time tomorrow we will catch a bus through to Bangkok. It's raining heavily outside so we are stuck indoors until it passes - luckily they have good food and Internet at the guesthouse.

KRATI
We spent two relaxing days in Krati but did not get to see the famed Irrawaddy Dolphins. I ran into a Dutch guy who caught the same boat as us from Phnom Penh who told me that it wasn't worth the effort - apparently he paid $15 and briefly saw something in the water that could have been a log or it could have been a dolphin. Our hotel in Krati was superb so for much of our stay we were parked on the rooftop terrace playing cards and reading. The town itself is pretty grubby but from four floors up all we could see was the orange Mekong river and the surrounding jungle.
We can only afford a few more days in Thailand if we are to have enough time for Malaysia but we have some important shopping to do in Bangkok before we head towards the equator.
