This experience, reminiscent of an Orient Express journey, takes you aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express luxury train from the capital of Malaysia to the capital of Thailand, visiting Royal Kuala Kangsar and the world-famous River Kwai on a journey like no other.
Your short Eastern & Oriental Express adventure begins at Kuala Lumpur Railway Station (Salak Selatan), where you will board the magnificent train. Upon boarding, an Eastern & Oriental Express steward will escort you to your cabin. Settle in and make yourself comfortable, as breakfast will be served in your cabin. The train then heads towards Kuala Kangsar, where it will stop to allow a coach transfer to a rural village, giving you the chance to experience day-to-day life with the locals. A traditional ceremony will welcome you to the village, followed by a guided tour of the lush rice paddies. For the more adventurous, you can join trekkers for a hike to the top of one of the hills, offering some of the most breathtaking views in the region.
You will rejoin the Eastern & Oriental Express for a cocktail reception, accompanied by live piano performances, before enjoying an elegant dinner in the evening as the train continues its luxury journey to Thailand.
On the second day of your Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok journey, the train stops at Kanchanaburi. After breakfast aboard the train, you can choose from two tours. The Local Flavours tour visits a wet market, a rice noodle house, and includes a raft cruise and cooking class. Alternatively, the Classic Tour takes you to the River Kwai Bridge and the Thai-Burma Railway Museum. A third option, the Unseen Thailand Tour, explores the countryside by bicycle, visiting a local farm to experience rural Thai life firsthand. By lunchtime, you will return to the Eastern & Oriental Express for a delicious meal before continuing your journey to Bangkok, which concludes in the late afternoon.
