So far, we have had pretty smooth sailing in terms of crossing new frontiers with the trucks. We anticipated some potential problems in southern Thailand… no worries. We were a little anxious about Cambodia… nice people. We had researched as much as we could from as many sources as possible about crossing into Vietnam with the […]

Heartbeat of Cambodia
July 23, 2007 – 2:20 am
Phnom Penh. The capital city of Cambodia. It is without a doubt one of the most interesting cities we have been to yet. It is a city full of life, culture, history as well as intrigue and mystery. A lot has gone down in Phnom Penh but from the looks of it, the city has a […]
Mine Boggling
July 14, 2007 – 3:49 am
Before we even arrived in Cambodia, I knew the country had a troubled past and one of the results of the conflicts is a landscape littered with land mines. You occasionally read about the Cambodian land mine problem in a magazine or hear about it when a famous celebrity mentions something about it at a PR event. […]
One Hell of a Ride
July 12, 2007 – 10:55 am
We have heard many horror stories about the road conditions in Cambodia. People frequently disregard traffic laws and you basically need a tank to get over all of the pot holes.

July 3, 2007 – 7:04 am
O.K., not my death bed, but I certainly have felt like I wanted to die a few times. For the past five days or so, I have been… well, not well. I think I am starting to turn a corner, but after the roller coaster ride I have been on, I am not holding my breath, […]

The vast majority of auto commercials you see on television qualify the driving scenes with "professional driver on a closed course." When we first started planning for The World by Road, we though it would be an interesting angle if we pushed that we were by no means professionals… an angle that your average consumer […]
The King and I
June 23, 2007 – 12:47 am
Actually, I guess it is the King and all of us. Here in Thailand, King Bhumibol Adulyadej is greatly revered by the Thai people. Pretty much everyone in Thailand thinks of the King like a father and his likeness and symbols of the monarchy can be found just about everywhere. As you drive through the various cities and […]
