THAILAND - CAMBODIA February 2006
Thailand - Cambodiain February 2006 was the perfect location to escape the cold weather in Assisi and meet up with grandpa George Yuen.
Besides, the fishing season was over back in San Francisco.
Originally, we had planned to travel with the Italian Explorers Francesca and Pippo, but at the last minute, Francesca developed a case of the shingles.
In Bangkok, we met up with an old friend Eva King. We had met up with Eva, her husband Alex and her son Raymond last year in Florence during one of their family vacations. Eva and I go way back to my post law school days in Beijing.
We flew into BKK at 6am and later that night Jax and I went to pick up grandpa. We waited 6 days down in Pattaya for some hope that Francesca and Pippo could join us. The kids loved the beach, the kites, the cocodrillo and I loved the quite family time. Luckily we switched hotels from the A-One to BJ's Holiday Lodge otherwise sibling number 3 may not be with us now.
The crossing to Cambodia at Poipet, Thailand was a rugged adventure for all of us, especially the boys.
We met up with a character who was from Oakland who had been a customer at George's Restaurant back in the 70's and had a Grandfather who knew grandpa.
The 3.5 hour taxi ride to Siem Reap outside of Angkor Wat was reminiscent of the
roads on our Everest trip back in 2000 before the babies. After exploring the Angkor complex on our 3 day passes, we retraced to Poipet and trained to BKK to take the overnight train to Chiangmai in the North to visit Elephants, Monkeys, Orchids and King Cobras.
