| Overview |
Join us as we travel from Chiang Mai to Singapore, on a tour that includes seven memorable train journeys through Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, as well as idyllic islands and vibrant cities. We discover the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Sukhothai and Ayutthaya, and historic Kanchanaburi. We stay at a floating raft lodge with the opportunity to go bamboo rafting, take an elephant ride or explore a Mon minority village. In complete contrast, we spend time in the bustling city of Bangkok and visit the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. We relax on Koh Hai Island with its mountains, forests and beautiful sandy beaches, and take a boat trip to Emerald Cave. Next stop Penang, with its Malay, Chinese and Indian influences, and then Kuala Lumpur with its colonial buildings interspersed with modern skyscrapers. In Malacca we see the imprints of the British, Dutch and Portuguese, before our journey finally ends in Singapore at the southern end of the Malay Peninsular.
