Ride the Rails in Splendour and Comfort
 When
it comes to railway journeys
of a lifetime, the true fans of luxury and history have a one-track
mind for the legendary Eastern and Oriental Express. Get your dream
vacation on track by booking the eight- day/seven-night package
with stopovers at the history-rich cities of Ayutthaya,
Chiang Mai and Kanchanaburi
(www.orient-express.com). These sightseeing breaks include guided
tours with a cornucopia of attractions, from religious ruins to
the remnants of the World War II“Death railway”
and the Bridge Over the River Kwai, as well as river cruises.
From the privacy of your immaculate compartment on the E&O,
you’ll have your own window on some of the most cinematic scenery
in Thailand (both pastoral and
urban). Into the bargain you’ll be pampered like a prince.
The range of intercontinental dishes available in the dining car
is to drool for. And how many other trains have their own well-stocked
library?
After seven days of traversing Thailand,
the Eastern and Oriental Express makes tracks through Malaysia
to reach the end of the line in Singapore.
