Hoy salimos
de Sihanoukville rumbo a Bangkok.
Compramos un tiquete de bus que sale a las 8:00am y debe estar llegando
a las 7:00pm… creyendo que alcanzabamos a tomar la conexion para Koh Tao. Lastimosamente llegamos a Bangkok a las
10:45pm; ya en realidad no nos sorprende que los buses se retrazen 3 o 4 horas.
El problema
estuvo en la cruzada de la frontera, a uno lo dejan en un lado y le toca pasar a pie
y preguntar al otro lado donde esta el bus que lo lleva a uno a Bangkok,
desafortunadamente no le gastan afan a la vida y nos pusieron a esperar mas de
2 horas. La camioneta que nos
llevo era de gas y le toco parar 3 o 4 veces a llenar la pipeta de gas y cada
parada eran 20 o 30 minutos para entrar al baño y comer algo.

Today we
are going from Sihanoukville to Bangkok.
We bought a bus ticket that leaves at 8:00am and will be arriving at
7:00pm… we think we are making the connection for Koh Tao. Unfortunately we arrived in Bangkok at
10:45pm; we are now getting used to long delays on buses in this part of the
world.
The problem
was at the border crossing, buses cannot cross from one country to another, so
they leave you at the border, you cross by foot and then ask at the other end
about the bus where you will continue your journey… well they did not rush to
leave and they had us waiting for over 2 hours. The minivan that took us was a LPG (liquid propane gas) so
the driver had to stop 3 or 4 times to fill it up and every stop took around 20
or 30 minutes for bathroom break and eat something.

Your dilema at the border crossing reminded me when crossing the border from Israel to Jordan. The same hassle!
