Colours of Asia

Itinerary

Day 1 Singapore

Sip a Singapore Sling in the Raffles Hotel where the drink was invented, or seek out the perfect sari in Little India.

Day 2 Melaka

Admire Chinatown's unique Peranakan architecture from the back of a trishaw.

Days 3-4 Kuala Lumpur

Absorb the multicultural mix that is Kuala Lumpur - stroll Dataran Merdeka, shop in Suria KLCC or scale the 272 steps up to the Batu Caves. Be sure to indulge in the myriad of tasty food options this city is famous for.

Days 5-6 Homestay

Sample succulent tropical fruits such as rambutan or the pungent durian before seeing how traditional Malays live at a homestay. Sit cross-legged on the floor for meals and be sure to eat with the right hand.

Days 7-8 Penang

Visit a butterfly farm for an insight into the enormous variety of Malaysian insects, take a rickshaw tour through the streets of Georgetown or tuck into local treats at the street stalls on Gurney Drive.

Day 9 Nakhon Si Thammarat

Famous for its shadow puppets, Nakhon Si Thammarat also has a great night market where a taste of Thai hawker food is a must.

Days 10-13 Ko Samui

Dive beneath the surface with a snorkel to discover the underwater treasures of Ang Thong Marine National Park - an archipelago of untouched islands surrounded by pristine coral reefs pulsing with life. Wake early to watch the sunrise or to enjoy a final swim before boarding the train to Bangkok.

Days 14-15 Bangkok

Glide through Bangkok's canals on a longtail boat and gaze at the huge reclining Buddha at Wat Pho.
