The Peninsular Route - Overland Trip

2 weeks: Bangkok to Singapore (KU-AST3)

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 delights.
