Malay Basix, 15 days Bangkok to Singapore
From the busy streets of Bangkok, venture south, passing through the pristine beaches of Krabi to the colonial ports of Penang and Melaka, before arriving in thriving Singapore. Along the way, let your senses be your guide as you absorb the region's historic heritage, cultural traditions and exotic cuisines.
These trips depart four or five times per week. The dates given here are just a sample. The trip costs £315, with a local payment of 8500 thai bahts, this should be paid on the first day of your trip locally.
Days 1-2 Bangkok
Sit down to a pad thai at a street stall in Siam Square, soothe muscle fatigue with a traditional Thai massage or escape the city heat with a cruise along the Chao Phraya River.
Days 3-4 Khao Sok National Park
Spend a night in a rustic bungalow, situated amid ancient, gnarled rain trees, an array of animals and exotic birds. There's time here to explore the jungle on foot or on an elephant.
Days 5-7 Krabi
Sun-seekers will fall in love with the miles of unspoilt beaches in Krabi, the spectacular limestone cliffs will tempt avid rock climbers and there's plenty to see beneath the turquoise waters.
Days 8-9 Penang
A charismatic blend of colonial heritage, night markets and religious temples, Penang also offers a wide range of exotic cuisines.
Day 10 Cameron Highlands
Head to the cooler climates of Cameron Highlands, renowned for its tea plantations and strawberries.
Days 11-12 Kuala Lumpur
The ultra-modern Petronas Towers may dominate the skyline, but KL still retains plenty of Old World charm. With a full free-day to sightsee, why not visit the nearby Batu Caves or sample some local treats around Petaling Street.
Day 13 Melaka
With its colonial architecture and strong Malay, Indian and Chinese influences, Melaka is a true melting-pot of cultures. Delve into the long history of this Straits town wandering the ruins of A'Famosa, tuck into a bowl of Nyonya laksa in Chinatown or browsing the antique shops on Jonker Street.
Days 14-15 Singapore
Indulge in the Singaporean pastimes of eating and shopping - along Orchard Road, in Chinatown or in Little India.
