I am not\nexaggerating that. We had a very stressful problem with our Airbnb host and\nAgoda booking. But first, let me start the post by narrating how we did border\ncrossing by land! \u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nI am always a fan of\nborder crossing because living in the Philippines means we don't have a\nneighboring country that we could travel to by land so it was really fun\ncrossing borders and observing how just by one single border changes how the\nway people live. This is most evident when we crossed the Laos-Thailand\nborder. The way the drivers navigate is different from both countries. In Laos,\nthey follow right-hand drive while in Thailand, they follow left-hand drive. So\nyou could literally see differences by just how we changed lanes when we arrive\nin the border of Thailand. Little things like that fascinate me.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: 9pt;\"\u003eAnyway, back to Siem\nReap. I had to research this thoroughly because if not done right, border\ncrossing will get more hassle.

The thing is, when you cross\nborders, you cannot do it during an overnight trip because the immigration\noffice will be closed by that time. Unlike airports whose immigration is manned\n24/7, these border immigration offices only open in the morning and close at a\ncertain time so better check the time to avoid problems.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nOf course, the initial\nplan was to ride an overnight bus but since the immigration office closes at\nnighttime, we opt to take the day bus.

So if you notice when you visit Thailand, temple names include \"Wat\" like \"Wat Arun\", in Luang Prabang, an example would be \"Wat Mahathat\". Also, one thing I learned from visiting so many temples (that I feel like I've seen more temples than churches, more Buddhas than the statue of Christ) is that temples are different from pagodas and stupa.
