The journey will cover 7 weeks.
First up we are flying from Australia to Singapore for 6 days of luxury at the Peninsular Excelsior Hotel near the Singapore River.
Next stop is Bangkok for a few days - planned highlights will be the annual trooping of the colors at Royal Plaza attended by the King of Thailand, and the annual King's birthday fireworks display alongside the Grand Palace.
From Bangkok a drive down through Chonburi and Pattaya to Rayong is planned, for a few days on the beach. Hopefully a day trip by boat over to Ko Samet to see how this popular island is coping with the tourist invasion of recent years.
After Rayong we are thinking to drive up to North East Thailand for perhaps a week. Then head back down to Bangkok by train and catch the bargain priced AirAsia flight to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.
Nothing much is planned in KL so far although we have arranged to stay at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel and will be visiting the Genting Highlands resort for a day of gambling, shopping and looking around.
After 6 days in KL we will fly back to Bangkok then head for North and North Eastern Thailand.
What's not planned at all: What to do in Singapore, how to get out to see the famous fireflies outside KL, where to go in Northern Thailand and where to stay in Bangkok ! Whether to nip up to Vientiane for a few nights ?
