Bangkok and beyond: Discover a cultural heavyweight of Southeast Asia
We spend eight nights in handpicked hotels and resorts (mostly four-star) and one night on a sleeper train. The accommodations typically used are on the day-to-day itinerary; however, below are some of the hotels used.
Bangkok: Centra by Centara Hotel Bangkok Phra Nakhon
Discover the best of Bangkok with a stay at this modern, stylish hotel. There’s easy access to a string of landmarks, while the lounger-lined outdoor pool provides the perfect place to chill before or after your explorations.
Sukhothai: Le Charme Sukhothai Resort/Legendha Sukhothai Resort
Stay either in Le Charme or Legendha(above), both well located for visiting Sukhothai Historical Park. The former has a swimming pool, flowering lotus pond and tropical gardens, the latter is designed to resemble a Thai village, with a swimming pool and spa.
Kanchanaburi: River Kwai Bridge Resort
With riverside spots to eat and drink plus a tranquil swimming pool, this peaceful resort is the ideal place to relax. Wander through the gardens or simply relax post-exploration in your air-conditioned room.
Worth knowing
Single supplements are available (on request) for eight nights of the trip (not available on the overnight train). Please advise your sales representative at the time of booking if you would like to request a single supplement.
Sleeper train: We stay in second class, shared open-plan air-conditioned sleeper carriages (mixed sex); each sleeping berth has a privacy curtain, while sleeping sheets, a blanket and pillow are provided. Snacks are often offered on board, including in the dining car (at an additional cost) but we recommend purchasing dinner and snacks at the train station beforehand.
