ITINERARY

SINGAPORE TO BANGKOK

DURATION: 3 DAYS | 2 NIGHTS

FROM £1,160 PER PERSON INCLUDING MEALS

DAY 1: Thursday - Singapore. The Eastern & Oriental Express departs Singapore's Keppel Road station in the morning. Having been welcomed onboard the gleaming carriages, settle into your compartment. Enjoy the passing scenery as the train crosses to Malaysia via the causeway of the Straits of Johor. Dress for dinner and then spend a relaxing evening in the Bar Car in the company of our resident pianist. During the evening, the E&O pauses at Kuala Lumpur's magnificent Moorish-style station where you may disembark for a stroll.

DAY 2: Friday - Penang. Breakfast is taken in your compartment before arriving in Butterworth. Here coaches take you across to Georgetown, capital of Penang, on the local ferry. At Weld Quay you board trishaws which take you through many of Georgetown's interesting districts. Board the waiting coaches for the short ferry ride back to Butterworth and the Eastern & Oriental Express for lunch. Dinner is served in the sumptuous dining car.

DAY 3: Saturday - Kanchanaburi & Bangkok. After breakfast, E&O arrives at the River Kwai Bridge station where the train stops to allow you to disembark. Guides escort you on the short walk down to the jetty to board a local craft for a cruise along the lush greenery of the picturesque Kwai Yai river, passing under the Bridge. At the E&O landing point, board a motor coach for a brief trip past the North Temple and Chinese Cemetery to the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre. Rejoin the coach for the transfer to Kanchanaburi railway station from where your E&O journey continues with lunch.
Arrive into Bangkok in the afternoon.
