Exploring SE Asia

30 days have passed and what an experience it was. It is time to return to Belgium. It will take about 30 hours to get home. A 13 hour layover at Helsinki made me decide to book a hotel for one night nearby the hotel. Well, I got to experience the difference between Bangkok and Helsinki quite drastically. As I'm waiting outside for my shuttle to the hotel, I experience a 39°C diffence in temperature. We went from 38°C to -1°C. These are not ideal conditions for someone that only has summer clothes. A couple of T-shirt layers helped a bit. I'm definitely in 🥶 mode. Only a few hours separate me from home now.

One last pool party in Siem Reap, before we set for the border crossing to enter Thailand again. We have arrived at the Cambodia-Thailand border. Our luggage goes on large trolleys, while we continue our way to pass the border on foot at 38°C conditions. With the help of our guide we manage to enter the fast lane for entering Thailand. We manage to get through in less than 1 hour, whereas the other line would have taken 3 hours in rooms that have none to few airco. And once arrived in Bangkok, we get to experience it in the 'non-Chinese New Year' mode. Soooo calm in comparison and you can actually see the pavement  😅 It's our last night as a group. We say goobye over drinks at the rooftop bar & pool.
