Driving in India from North to South in 2022

This blog is about my Extempore tour from Rajasthan to South India,upto Thanjavur and Return.  Total 5600 Km approx and One months Duration I am lucky that I am single, Because in most of the situation, when people get worried, I see an opportunity, e.g. Being jobless during Corona, I enjoy living with my parents and was waiting for the travel restrictions to be lifted up In India so that I can make a tour with my car this time ( as i didnt have any bike at this time) And as usual I started without planning, extempore. Again with being single ( I am not de-motivated Couples because if you have your partner as a friend, could be a Resonance , I mean 1 + 1 = 11, which i will always miss, I guess) So come to my Journey,  I never felt any problem to start my Journey like this (without any planning) and thanks to my lenient Parents, they never put any restrictions on me, I guerss very few people, at least in India, allow their Child to live his or her Life and not impose the burd...

Interesting Slogans on the back of Trucks ( A dying Art)

  Some interesting slogans that I captured from the trucks (another dying art). (This picture I have been seeing since my childhood, " the lady waiting for him (the truck driver) " तुम कब आओगे " another illusion of mind to make yourself is happy is that " she is waiting for you" । That give you strength to cover more miles . This one is my favourites. How Modi put all on work , boost their Ego, he is master in this art , anyway it was good for all at that time. It should be _ चलता फिरता दवाखाना not फिरता दवाखाना , but it's ok as it was in महाराष्ट्र  This like of " समय से पहले और भाग्य से ज्यादा कभी नही मिलता " is also very old but I liked the below one " वो कोन थी जो मुस्कुरा के चली गई" , अरे भाई तुझे धोखा हुआ है , यहा वहा कोई नही थी ही नहीं।  And this one is last one. Lots of them.

Driving in Cambodia

Sieam Reap Temple   When I was Denied Land Entry at Mayanmar border from Thailand earlier and then at Laos-Thailand border too, I got frustrated. But since I had Cambodia e-visa,  I thought I should give a try and enter Cambodia from Thailand. (Reason of denial for Myanmar:- No land crossing for foreign passport holder since 15 May 2023 and for Laos:- I can enter but no bike allowed without written permission for less then 350 CC engine capacity. They showed me some permission letter examples to contact for permission, I am sharing below if anyone need) Cambodia visa can be applied online and usually it comes within three days (So was Laos Visa, which came on second day). In Cambodia e-visa, they clearly mention that ports of the entry for the e-visa is valid. So that's a good thing. I checked that Krong Poi Pet entry was on the list. I drove 550 kilometers to Poi pet Land border from Thailand-Laos border (Nong Khai, wonderful town, I will write in Thailand blog) M...
