Itinerary
DAY 1 Bangkok
You can arrive at any time on day 1 as there are no activities planned. Meet
your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) around 6pm for a meeting. Please check
at reception for a notice detailing the actual time and place for a group
meeting and optional dinner on the evening of Day 1.
We spend this evening in Bangkok. Our hotel is located in China Town, next to
the central train station and MRT (Subway), and is only a short USD2 taxi ride
from Khao San road and the central shopping area of Siam Square, MBK, Siam
Paragon, etc. All rooms are double or twin share with air conditioning and en
suite bathroom. The hotel has a small pool and wifi and computers are
available at extra cost.
DAY 2 Bangkok
Enjoy a street food crawl with the group and CEO while in Bangkok. Bring
your appetites and your wallets, and the CEO will bring you to the best spots
and teach you a bit about the local street food.
In the evening of day 2 we catch an overnight sleeper train to Chumporn (May
to October).
Approx travel times:
Train Bangkok to Chumporn (May to October): 7-8 hours
Undoubtedly the best way to get around Bangkok is by water taxi, as the
streets are often crazy with traffic. From the Chao Phraya River you have an
excellent view of this vast metropolis. Perhaps take a longtail boat to explore
the canals of Bangkok. The life that goes on along these canals seems like a
different world. We also recommend visiting Wat Pho, home of the reclining
Buddha. You can have a traditional Thai massage either here, at a school that
teaches massage within the temple, or choose somewhere near the hotel - this
is highly recommended!
DAY 3 Koh Samui

Take a short boat ride to the island of Koh Samui and spend the next few days
exploring the island's beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife.
Lying off of Thailand's east coast in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui offers
everything you could possibly want in a tropical retreat: white sandy beaches,
coconut palms, fresh seafood and warm, clear waters. With an area of 247
square kilometers, Koh Samui is the largest island in an archipelago of around
80 islands.
We stay in a resort that is located a stone's throw away from the beach and has
all the amenities that you may require, including a bar and swimming pool. All
of our rooms are twin share and come with an en suite bathroom.

waterfront night market that serves up excellent local food.

hill station is one of Malaysia's most famous. Our hotel is situated in the town

You might like to head out of town to visit the famous Batu Caves or the Orang
Asli Museum, north of town. The evening is best spent at the night market
sampling the different cuisine, some of the best in South East Asia and bargain
hunting among the stalls of Chinatown's night market. And don't forget a visit
to the Petronas Towers,the tallest twin towers in the world.
DAY 12 Melaka
A public bus journey takes us to the old port town of Melaka where we can
wander the narrow streets and absorb the atmosphere of this historically
important town.
With the beginning of trade with China in the early 15th Century, Melaka
rapidly became the most important trading port in South East Asia. Chinese
traders were followed by those from India. With them came Islam and soon the
Melaka sultans ruled the largest empire in Malaysia's history. Successively the
Portuguese, Dutch and British arrived in search of trading wealth. While the
effects of recent economic growth are apparent, Melaka remains one of
Malaysia's premier destinations. The streets of Chinatown are lined with
Peranakan (Straits Chinese) shophouses offering their traditional cuisine,
Nyonya. There are temples, churches and mosques, museums and forts to
explore.
Our hotel is located in the heart of Melaka, close to the World Heritage sites.
The rooms are comfortable twin and double share with air conditioning. There
is free wifi at the hotel.

Transfer to hotel: 15 min
DAY 13 Singapore
In the morning we take a public bus journey to the Straits of Johore and onto
the island of Singapore.
Whilst Singapore has few areas untouched by modernization, wandering the
streets of Little India and Chinatown is a great way to see the old parts of the
city.
Our hotel is located in the heart of Singapore. The rooms all come with air
conditioning and en suite bathrooms. Computers and wifi are available in the
hotel for an additional charge.

many hawker street stands.
