You got something called Foreign Currency Deposit Account. I looked at this in Bangkok Bank some time ago. Guess most of the bigger banks got it.

I connected my Thai card to Paypal and use it the same way as my european card. Just had to register it for online use, that was all.

Sad news this. A great author with a very productive life. His books are among those that may be read again and again.

RIP Mr. Pratchett.

Thanks for all the info. I'm sure all will work out nicely and I may get some good rides around the area.

I will visit Chiang Mai 4-5 days in march. My wife will be busy in the days attending a seminar and I would like spending the days biking up in the mountains.

But is there somewhere to rent a good quality bike? Would prefer a hybrid mountain / road bike. Don't fancy bringing my own bike on the plane.

Would be grateful for any tip.

A really wonderful photo journal Michel, maybe I give Phupalek a try again this week so I can keep up with you

Wonderful photos, and a lot of km's. Very interesting !

No, I'm not worried. I do think about the future but see no need to conjure up any bad news. I will follow the rules and live by them as best I can.

If they gets to complicated and makes me jump to much around, well then I will have to make adjustments. Move back, or find a new quiet spot to settle down.

So in short, I really don't worry.

Have seen some foreigners around on bikes, but haven't managed to catch them.

I lives about 13 Km from Sawang Daen Din. Usually bikes daily between 45-60 km with some up to a 100 km, so quite relaxed.

But it would have been nice with company sometimes.

Here's your itinerary:

Day 1 - Air or bus from Bangkok to Siem Reap, stay two nights and see Ankor the following day, option to stay longer if so inclined.

Day 3 - Boat to Phnom Pen, stay PP two nights, spend next day sight seeing - option to extend if required.

Day 5 - Chances are that you've added an extra day in SR or PP and since you only want to spend a week max, it's time to return to BKK by air or bus.

Thanks a lot from me to for this info. After two years in Thailand I'v had my fill and times up for moving. Knows very little about Cambodia so threads like this is very useful.
