Day 1 Singapore
Sip a Singapore Sling in the hotel where it was born - Raffles - or look for a sari in Little India.

Admire the unique Peranakan architecture of Chinatown or toss a coin into the ancient well on Bukit China to ensure your return.
Days 3-4 Kuala Lumpur
Lose yourself in the multicultural mix that is Kuala Lumpur - stroll Dataran Merdeka, shop in Suria KLCC or scale the 272 steps up to the temple at Batu Caves. Be sure to indulge in the myriad tasty food options on offer.
Days 5-6 Homestay
Our hosts introduce us to traditional Malaysian life and cuisine. There is plenty of free time to enjoy local Kampung activities.
Days 7-8 Penang
Visit the 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 first taste of Thai hawker food may be had.
Days 10-13 Ko Samui/ Overnight Train
Dive beneath the surface with a snorkel to discover the underwater treasures of Ang Thong National Marine Park - an archipelago of untouched islands surrounded by pristine coral reefs pulsing with life.

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