Essence of the Orient<br />

<strong>Experience</strong> the exotic appeal of Bangkok, majestic lure of Bali, and the cultural intensity of<br />

Singapore, where the beauty of the landscapes match the warmth of the people.<br />

This journey takes you to lands where the beauty of the dramatic<br />

landscapes match the warmth of the people; where rich traditions<br />

endure, religion prevails, and the arts thrive; and where visitors are<br />

welcomed with the smiles of Asia, indeed.<br />

Begin in Bangkok – Thailand’s capital known for its ornate shrines,<br />

vibrant street life and legendary nightlife. There’s no doubt that your<br />

senses will be assaulted in this city that blends modern civilization<br />

and historic treasures so well. The temples, despite being in the centre<br />

of a thriving 21st century metropolis, are some of the finest in all<br />

of Asia. Discover the exotic Bangkok, marvel at the opulence of the<br />

Grand Palace, visit Wat Pho and other tranquil temples, cruise the<br />

Chao Phraya River, immerse ourselves in the beauty of ancient Siam<br />

in Ayutthaya, visit the infamous bridge that spans the River Kwai,<br />

and learn about the encounter with endangered Asian elephants.<br />

For centuries, Bali has captivated the imagination of artists, writers,<br />

and travellers with its landscapes of emerald terraced rice fields backdropped<br />

by the sacred volcano of Mt. Batur. Admire Bali’s breathtaking<br />

scenery, volcanoes, jungles and white-sand beaches. Begin with<br />

a few nights in Ubud. Observe daily life on the Island of the Gods<br />

and visit a few of its most beautiful temples. <strong>Experience</strong> the beauty<br />

of the Jatiluwih rice field terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage cultural<br />

landscape. Participate in cultural workshops and enjoy stunning<br />

views of iconic volcanoes.<br />

Visit the Mother Temple of Prura Besakih and Sea Temple of Tanah<br />

Lot and take in the traditional markets in Ubud before concluding<br />

with a three-night stay at a beach resort in Seminyak.<br />

Unique is the word that best describes Singapore,<br />

a country/city of delightful contrasts and balances<br />

of its old Chinese quarter and colourful Hindu temples<br />

with modern skyscrapers. Visit its lively sights,<br />

including Merlion Park and Marina Bay. Walk<br />

through popular neighbourhoods of Chinatown, Little<br />

India and Clarke Quay. Explore the Botanic Garden,<br />

have the famous Singapore Sling at Long Bar,<br />

and savour local delicacies at Lau Pa Sat Market.<br />

Brimming with unbridled energy and bursting with<br />

exciting events, Singapore offers countless unique,<br />

memorable experiences waiting to be discovered.<br />
