Your Itinerary
Day 1: Singapore Singapore(Singapore)(Singapore)

Beguiling Singapore is a modern city-state embracing economic progress against the backdrop of age-old tradition. Many business people and holidaymakers travel to Singapore on their way to the Far East, or as a stop-off between Australia and Europe, and are eager to see and experience this legendary hi-tech Asian city, which combines traditional enclaves with the towering steel and cement of a cosmopolitan international power-house. The customs that underpin community life emerge out of a cultural mix that includes predominantly Chinese, Indian and Malay ethnic groups.

Singapore is an island off the southern tip of Malaysia, linked to it by a causeway. It evolved from a sleepy fishing village in the early 1900s to become one of Asia's economic tigers. Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles landed on Singapore's northern bank in 1819, quickly identifying a strategic trading location. Singapore's rural landscape was transformed by British colonial rule, Japanese occupation, Communist insurrection and finally, independence. Since becoming a republic in 1965 the island has experienced increased prosperity and exponential economic growth. Shimmering skyscrapers tower above the slick financial districts and elegant colonial buildings preserve a lingering old-world charm.

Singapore's full calendar of events showcases a spectrum of cultural celebrations and shopping activities. The early summer months bustle in anticipation of the Singapore Sale - a time when tourists can cash in on the competitive prices of electronic equipment, jewellery and other merchandise. The business activity thrives amid the celebration of Chinese, Hindu and Muslim festivals that punctuate the year with their colourful representations. These include the Chinese New Year, Ramadan, Hari Raya Puasa, Vesak Day, the Dragon Boat Festival, Festival of the Hungry Ghosts and Thaipusam.

The core of downtown Singapore is formed by the Colonial District, embellished by cathedrals and cricket lawns. The notable sites of the area include the Empress Place Building and the luxurious Raffles Hotel. Although most of old Singapore has been demolished to make way for the modern city, many major landmarks within the Colonial District have been preserved. The surrounding ethnic enclaves of Little India, Chinatown and the Arab Quarter also provide glimpses into the traditions that have sustained their respective communities through the centuries.

Day 3: Koh Samui Ko Samui(Thailand)(Koh Samui)

Koh Samui is one of Thailand’s most beautiful islands and a top tourist destination. Visitors come to Koh Samui for its stunning beaches, luxurious resorts, and lively nightlife. There’s something for everyone on this island, whether you’re looking to relax or party.

The beaches on Koh Samui are some of the best in Thailand. White sand and clear blue water make for a perfect backdrop to your vacation. Many of the beaches are lined with palm trees and offer plenty of activities, such as swimming, sunbathing, kayaking, and windsurfing.

If you’re looking for luxury, Koh Samui has no shortage of high-end resorts. Whether you want a private villa with its own pool or a five-star hotel with all the amenities, you’ll find it here. Prices can be steep, but it’s worth it for the incredible views and top-notch service.

Koh Samui is also renowned for its nightlife. Chaweng Beach is the place to be after dark, with its many bars, clubs, and restaurants. The party goes all night long, so be prepared to stay up late!

Whether you’re looking to relax or party, Koh Samui is the perfect destination. With its stunning beaches, luxurious resorts, and lively nightlife, there’s something for everyone on this island.

Day 4: Bangkok Bangkok(Thailand)(Bangkok)

Chaotic, carnal and congested, Thailand's capital is divided by the Chao Phraya River and is nestled in one of the world's most fertile rice-producing deltas. Bangkok's 605 square miles (1,568 sq km) are criss-crossed by a series of canals carrying passengers and cargo, its roads clotted with endless traffic jams, while the city sprawls in all directions with a hodgepodge of urban, commercial and industrial buildings. An overland metropolitan railway speeds above the city, providing visitors with a relaxed and efficient way to observe the hustle and bustle below.

Despite its pollution and overcrowding, Bangkok is undoubtedly one of Asia's most exciting cities, and one of the world's largest, promising to reveal to each traveller the wild and untamed mysteries of the east. Khao San Road is one of the city's most vibrant streets, and is probably one of the best examples in the world of a backpacker's 'ghetto'. Day and night the short stretch of road is abuzz with activity. On the banks of the Chao Phraya, visitors will find the Grand Palace as well as Wat Phra Kaew, the palace temple housing the Emerald Buddha, constructed entirely from translucent green jade. Slightly upriver are the exquisitely ornamented Royal Barges, still used today for special floating processions.

Of the 30 or so temples in Bangkok, the largest is the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, which houses an impressive statue of the deity. The famous Floating Market is a delight to visitors and well worth a visit. As the sun lurches towards the horizon in the west and the sweat cools, this city of royalty and religion comes alive with a palpable decadence. Music and dazzling neon advertise a plethora of trendy bars and nightclubs, as well as the notorious 'girlie joints' that have ensured the Patpong district its reputation for hedonism.

Though the city's frenetic pace and infamous congestion can be overwhelming, a holiday in Bangkok is a must for anyone travelling in Thailand.

Day 7: Ho Chi Minh City Ho Chi Minh City(Vietnam)(Ho Chi Minh City)

Ho Chi Minh City better known by its former name of Saigon is a brazen industrious and dense metropolis the largest city in Vietnam and the business capital of the country. With a population of five million it is crowded noisy and dirty yet it is also exciting and historic the essence of the nation.Located on the Saigon River on the edge of the Mekong Delta Saigon became the capital of the Republic of South Vietnam and was the American headquarters during the Vietnam War. Two years later the Communist north took control of the country the city's name was changed to Ho Chi Minh City and recession and poverty ensued.Today Ho Chi Minh City has a cosmopolitan and energetic atmosphere and having actively welcomed the new capitalist principle the business-minded spirit of the people is much in evidence. Although relatively modern it has still managed to hold onto its Asian character and fine restaurants smart hotels and chic bars line the sidewalks crammed with noodle stands markets and shoeshine boys. The buzzing of motorbikes and scooters merges with the cries of street vendors and the urgent business of stall owners selling barbecued dog writhing snakes and tropical fruits. The sight of a family of four balanced precariously on a scooter a squealing pig strapped onto the back of a bicycle bowed heads topped by pointed lampshade-style hats and orange-clothed monks are just some of the vibrant images the city has to offer.Although overshadowed by modern and Asiatic influences a little of Ho Chi Minh City's French colonial charm still remains evident in the graceful architecture wide boulevards and a sidewalk cafe society. It is not for the attractions that one visits Ho Chi Minh City however but for the vibrancy of its street life and its proximity to the Mekong Delta.
