Phnom Penh & Sihanoukville by Nick Miles (650) 2004-09-08 - 2004-09-12

In amongst the hundreds of identity photos of guards and prisoners there are informative and poingnant offerings on the Pol Pot regime. Touring prisoner's cells you learn about the conditions they were kept in and daily life for them and the guards. Gazing into the soulfull faces of the women, men and children phtograpghed as they were imprisoned for a certain and horrific death you glimpsed a small insight into how this must have felt. ...

The temples by Nick Miles (650) 2004-09-03 - 2004-09-06

At AW you are assailed with adorable looking children set to work by their parents. They rattle through souvenir postcard packs naming each place in a high-pitched singsong mantra. Ankor Wat, Bayon Temple, Ankor Thom. ... (full story) (7 photos)

Ankor Wat by Nick Miles (650) 2004-09-02 - 2004-09-07

In to Thailand by Nick Miles (650) 2004-08-15 - 2004-08-25

I interspersed beer with the odd coconut lassie and sat on the beach reading or snorkeling in the sea. At night the moon caught the tiny waves in the bay and made the water sparkle with gleaming dots of white moonlight, what more entertainment do you need? ... (full story) (1 photo)

East Coast Perhentians by Nick Miles (650) 2004-08-05 - 2004-08-15

The temperature plummets several degrees, the wind picks up and goose bumps raise on your flesh due to the chill and the beach clears. It was an extraordinary phenomena, I felt as if a tsunami was about to hit or godzilla would rise from the sea. ... (full story) (1 photo)

Our Sea Cat ferry had a departure prayer. Something about guardian angels guiding Captain and Crew on their journey. I had rather hoped they would rely on more modern navigation devices. ... (full story) (5 photos)

Palawan by Nick Miles (650) 2004-06-27 - 2004-07-01

The wind had blown over a tree onto the dirt track that led to Sabang. All the boys on the roof of the bus lept into action to try and drag it out the way. Too heavy to move they had to run back to the nearest house to borrow a machete, they made short work of chopping it into more portable pieces so that we could move on. ... (full story) (2 photos)
