In perspective

Coming back from my recent trip to Siem Reap (Cambodia), my colleagues and I made some observation that put us in a better perspective. Look out for more on Cambodia in my later entries.

I would just summarize some of our findings here:

1. Lina and I thought Cambodia is so nice we definitely want to go again.
So we plan that our next trip shall be to Pnom Penh (Cambodia), then drop by to
Vientiane (Laos). But as you can see from the map, that is quite impossible.
It is actually nearer to go Vientiane from Hanoi or even Bangkok!

2. Pei2 asked how come go Siem Reap so fast (1.5 hour flight) while Hanoi take so 'nong'?
If you refer to map, the question is easily answered.

3. Pnom Penh is nearer to Singapore than Siem Reap. Ho Chi Minh is even nearer.
And Bangkok is technically the furthest from us when we compare these 4 cities.

4. Jet Star flies to both Pnom Penh and Siem Reap. Silk Air flies to both cities too.

5. Thai Airways flies Singapore - Vientianne (transit Bangkok) for a whooping S$619 after tax.
Might as well add a hundred or two and fly to London!
