Snake Your Way Through South-East Asia with Eastern & Oriental Express
According to the Lunar zodiac, the enigmatic Snake is not only eternally on the lookout for new adventures, but also fond of the sophisticated “good life” – characteristics synonymous with the Eastern & Oriental Express.

Travelling throughout 2013, a forgotten era of opulence can be recaptured aboard Asia's most exclusive luxury train on the ‘classic' two and three-night Singapore to Bangkok journeys (and vice versa), as well as the lengthier ‘Chronicles of South-East Asia' itineraries, scouring Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Laos.

Each route is specially crafted to offer a unique, enriching and in-depth travel experience by allowing guests to immerse themselves in the panorama and culture of these fascinating countries and to discover new locations.

The ‘Chronicles' voyages are limited to just 60 guests per journey and all are accommodated in spacious State and Presidential cabins. As well as offering guests the most luxurious and stylish way to see the exotic landscapes, all itineraries offer an extensive programme of exciting excursions, overnight off-train experiences and guest lecturers on board.

Departing March 3rd or October 27th 2013, the six-night Fables of the Hills journey departing from Singapore takes guests north through Malaysia and into Thailand before arriving in Bangkok. Highlights include an overnight stay in the lush Cameron Highlands, a leisurely barge cruise along the River Kwai and a visit to the historical island of Penang.

The story continues on October 2nd 2013 with Tales of Laos, which sees the train once again on a grand exploration, crossing borders. This is a three-night passage of discovery through the vast fields of northeast Thailand and across the Friendship Bridge over the mighty Mekong River. It continues along the first railway into Laos that leads to the capital, Vientiane.

The Epic Thailand voyage departing November 24th 2013 showcases the very best Thailand has to offer during this thrilling journey into off-the-beaten track areas visited by very few foreign visitors. This adventure covers large areas of Thailand's beautiful and remote countryside, through distant settlements on the Isan plains and past 12th century Khmer temples in faraway settings.
