On the Road to Cambodia

We finally had to leave Phi Phi in the name of a visa run (it is amazing we have almost been here 30 days!). Two days ago we boarded a ferry and began our trek north, straight into a storm building over the ocean. For the first time temperatures dropped below 80 degrees. The ocean grew choppy and lightning was striking all around, making an incredibly dramatic backdrop for our departure.
After a 14 hour night bus ride from Krabi, we pulled into the soggy capital this morning. The monsoon season has arrived and it has been raining non-stop in Bangkok. It is nice to see the once crowded streets clear and with fewer tourists we managed to bag a cheap room with windows (as opposed to the cubicle we resided in before). This morning we worked out the logistics for our visas and are now planning to head to Cambodia in the next couple of days. While we aren't sure how long we'll be there, we would like to visit Angkor Wat and possibly even check out a national park in the northeast, all of this tentative, of course. After Cambodia we are planning on heading north through Loas (which has an incredible reputation amongst travellers) and then on over to northern Thailand. I'm not sure what to expect from internet resources in these countries, but will do my best to keep in touch.
