Whats on my mind.

I'm very confused at the moment. How should I enter Thailand? I have three options, and they are.

1. Enter by land (bus/train). I will get a free/cheap 15day visa on arrival. If I want to extend I must leave and reenter the country again

2. Enter by air. I will get a free/cheap 30day visa on arrival. Enough time but the flights are costly.

3. Get a 60day tourist visa from the Thailand embassy in KL. more than enough time but require an outward ticket to prove I will be leaving. and the visa costs me, So it will probably be as expensive as flying.

But there isn't much I can do about it today as its Sunday, so I'm off to look around the city. I thought Thailand would be the easiest place to enter but its proving not to be.

My plan is to head the the embassy and apply for a 60day visa. If this proves too be a problem or to expensive, I will continue over land and get a return bus to Cambodia to extend the visa.

I made a mistake

I feel a bit stupid now as I've made a very silly mistake. My battery has run out on my phone and laptop so I am unable to tell the time. So I purchased a $3.90 watch. Sounds okay so far right.
I was thinking to myself that there is no point spending $1 on a power converter that I can only use for a couple of days before I reach Bangkok that requires another type. But it didn't occur to me that i didn't have to get the watch if i got the power converter instead. Therefore I would be $2.90 better of. And I would have the video blog posted that I made is morning, as I would be able to use my laptop to upload it.

Anyways, I will leave the rest to when I manage to get the vids uploaded.

P.S. I know its only $1 but there is a lot more to the story, and I'm sure I've bored you enough already.

...

... oh, okay then. here's some more...

I don't want to have to convert any of my Aus or Us $s into Singapore $s, as I would have to pay the commission for currency that I might not use before crossing the boarder tomorrow. Also, as i don't have as much money as i would like, I'm having to cut down on spending dramatically. Every cent/penny counts now.

$1 is a days food for a child in Cambodia!! $2.90 is enough to send a child to school... And knowing that i screwed that childs life up... Priceless!!!

Our trip to Cooktown via Daintree and Cape Trib.

Don't just think about it, do it!!!



After a couple of nights in Cairns it was time to head north to cooktown with Jeremy (Canadian), Stefan (German) and Jo (English). Once again we had a great trip. Although Kate felt the pinch as her front brakes got damaged costing me $1000 to fix.

Darwin - Cairns Vid

Always smile!!!

Just some of the things we got upto between Darwin and Cairns.




It took us 14 days via Kakadu and the Savannah way. The roof rack fell off and crushed the roof, one flat tyre and a 2km walk to the petrol station for more fuel. But we made it to the tropical north east.
