Without doubt this wonderful tour enables you to take in a large
part of South East Asia at a comfortable pace. Three countries in just
over two weeks gives you the time to sample the spectacular cultures and
the vivid contrasts between trekking and snorkelling one moment, and the
nightlife of the big cities the next. In Thailand we switch from the
bustle of Bangkok to explore the rainforest and exotic beaches of the
south. Crossing into Malaysia we drive to the scenic island state of
Penang, the oldest British settlement but with its original Chinese
atmosphere. Here we explore by rickshaws, travel on a funicular train,
shop in the night bazaars, trek to a waterfall, swim and canoe. On to
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital, which has a curious blend of the old
and the new. Its impressive colonial architecture still stands proudly
among the gleaming high-rise office blocks and the worlds tallest
building - The Petronas Towers. Finally, a night train brings us to the
island of Singapore at the top of the Malay Peninsular. A walk through
Chinatown, Little India and Arab Street is the best way to explore its

Tribes and River Rides - AST5 14 Days €1,105.00
This Grand Indo-China loop trip offers a wonderful chance to explore two
of South East Asia's great cultural centres, the North Thailand hills
and Laos' Mekong Delta. There can be no better way to witness the
stunning scenery and experience the friendliness of the people. After an
opening tour of Bangkok, we journey to Chiang Mai in the north. Here we
trek by foot and on elephant back - plus rafting on a bamboo raft - to
the hillside villages. A highlight of Chiang Mai will be the holy Wat
Phrathat Doi Suthep temple visited by Buddhist pilgrims all year round.
Next, it's on to Laos - a country standing in great contrast to Thailand
and one hardly touched by tourism. Its landscape is both stunning and
raw and its people welcome visitors with open arms. The highlight of
this leg of the tour is a truly memorable boat trip on the Mekong River
with the chance to see in all its splendour the spectacular and
ever-changing scenery and the rural waterside life. Following on from
there are visits to the cultural centres of Luang Prabang, with its
monks in their colourful robes going about their religious rituals, and
