Day by Day Itinerary
Sunday - Depart Bangkok and after being welcomed aboard, settle into your compartment. Lunch is served as you travel out of the city into the countryside with its rice fields, villages and water buffalo.
Early afternoon disembark the train for an excursion by boat along the River Kwai to the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre where a local historian will provide an informative tour. Rejoin the train and reflect on the day's events over dinner and, perhaps, a drink in the Bar Car, complete with its resident pianist.
Monday - Breakfast is served in your compartment before a visit to the Observation Car to watch the contrasting scenery as the train passes from Thailand's terraced farms into Malaysia's rubber plantations.
After lunch, enjoy a guided tour of colonial Georgetown, Penang, which includes an introductory tour of this historic town and Fort Cornwallis, and a trishaw ride through the colourful narrow streets. Dinner and overnight on board.
Tuesday - Breakfast is taken as you relax in your compartment as the Eastern & Oriental Express crosses the causeway over the Straits of Johor for a morning arrival in Singapore.
