We get off the beaten track and visit Ban Lung, capital of the Ratanakiri province, Cambodia. Find out what to do when there are no tourists around by clicking here.

We visit Halung Bay, one of the most beautiful natural harbours on Earth. 2,000 stunning, unexplored islands, wild monkeys, and tourists who want the engine turned off so they can get some sleep. Find out how many stupid people got pushed overboard by clicking here.

To anyone stupid enough not to want to spend an hour in a space roughly equivalent to half a refrigerator, 2,500 feet up, in the same airspace as jumbo jets and other planes piloted by students, I can tell you it’s pretty weird. So weird, in fact, I didn’t take any pictures, but I did manage to have a go on the controls. There’s nothing quite like banking, looking through the window and realising that nothing more substantial than a Mini door stands between you and a shockingly long drop.
