Day 1
ARRIVE BANGKOK--DAY AT LEISURE
This day will be at leisure in Bangkok. You
can marvel at the gleaming temples, catch a
tuk tuk along the bustling Chinatown or take
a longtail boat through floating markets.
Food is another Bangkok highlight,
from local dishes served at humble street
stalls to haute cuisine at romantic rooftop
restaurants.
OVERNIGHT IN BANGKOK
Day 2
BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI TOUR
Kanchanaburi Province, one of the largest
and hottest of all Thai provinces, lying to the
west of Bangkok and adjacent to
M ya n m a r s e p a r a t e d m o s t l y by a
mountainous border broken by the Three
Pagodas Pass. Kanchanaburi sits on the
banks of the Kwae Yai and Kwae Noi rivers,
surrounded by limestone outcrops and
fields of sugar cane. One less pleasant
aspect of its history was the prisoner of war
camp during the Second World War, when
this area was the site of a railway line
intended to stretch throughout British
Burma to India.
Visit the Jeath war museum, which is
housed in the same sort of huts the POW's
used and is filled with exhibits telling their
story. Visit the War Cemetery as well as the
Bridge on the River Kwai, restored after the
war and still carries the railway today. Take a
ride along a pleasant section of the
unpleasantly named Death Railway.

Each subsequent monarch has added

their own contribution to the complex, so
that it represents the full range of royal
architecture of the Rattanakosin (Bangkok)
period. Some of the buildings represent
traditional Thai themes, whilst others have
distinct European features. The figure was discovered in a Chiang Rai
temple in 1436 and has travelled since to
Within the palace grounds one can Lampang, Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang and

The most famous of all the temples on the

plain of Angkor is Angkor Wats. The temple
complex covers 81 hectares and is
comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in
Beijing.
Its distinctive five towers are
emblazoned on the Cambodian flag and the
12th century masterpiece is considered by
art historians to be the prime example of
classical Khmer art and architecture.

This beautiful fresh-water lake is the largest

in South-east Asia and flows into Tonle Sap
River, joining the Mekong in Phnom Penh.
Built on the lake, is a wondrous ‘floating
village’ with floating schools, floating police
station, et al.

The ‘village’ moves from place to

place following water levels and current.
