Running Around Bangkok and Back On the Road (Day 11)

After some amazing sleep, the embassies were already about to go to lunch when we woke up. We decided to go over to the Cambodian embassy, but could not find it anywhere. The address just did not exist. Eventually we asked some American lady that had been living there for years and she told us that they had moved, but she didn't know to where. We grabbed a taxi, which got us there, eventually. We had to pay for the visas, run and get passport photos, and then get back to get them stamped before the closed. After this ordeal, we stopped for a bite to eat around the corner at a little street stand. I got some very flavorful pork with this mini-eggplant type thing.

We then headed to the bus station to see what the schedules to Chiang Mai were like. We purchased some tickets for that night and headed back to get our things. We were caught in a down pour like I have never seen and were instantly soaked from head to toe. We quickly changed into dry clothes and grabbed some food from the restaurant in front of our guesthouse. I got the green curry chicken, which was so flavorful and spicy. I have always preferred red curries, but this made me a convert.

My sister got the Pad Thai, which was amazingly good. I am not typically a pad thai fan, but this was the real deal and it was amazing.

We headed back to the bus station as the rain died down. When we got there, we were told that our bus had already left because the guy had given us tickets to the wrong bus. The got us on the correct bus for a small fee and we were off to Chiang Mai. The trip was scheduled for about 9 hrs., so we got comfortable, grabbed some snacks at a stop and got some sleep.
