Off roading from Angkor to Korat in Thailand

Our last night at Angkor ended with an amazing dinner outside at the 1000 year old temple of Kravan. It was an unforgettable experience to dine in these ancient ruins. 

Now I know why we shipped a 4x4 over here from Florida. We could not have done today's drive without it. 100 miles of very rough dirt roads. You think the road is getting better and you speed up...and here comes a huge hole. Our car did great...nothing broken, just really dirty.

It's a different world here. Our cars driving by the homes along the dirt roads caused quite a stir. These kids working in the mud probably have probably never seen anything like that...25 4x4's driving by in one day. 

Stuff is still transported by cow and carriage in this part of the world. Here is our fellow driver Sir Terence English and his partner in front of us in their Land Cruiser.
