Breakfast is taken in your compartment before arriving in Butterworth. Here coaches take you across to colonial Georgetown, capital of Penang, on the local ferry. Enjoy a guided introductory tour with pre-World War II mosques, elaborately-roofed temples, churches, bazaars and colourful shophouses. Reboard the waiting coaches for the short ferry ride back to Butterworth and the Eastern & Oriental Express for lunch. As the train crosses into Thailand spend the afternoon watching the changing scenery from the open deck of the Observation Car or relax in the comfort of the Saloon Car. Dinner is served in the sumptuous dining car.
Arrive at the River Kwai Bridge Station after breakfast, where you disembark for a cruise along the lush greenery of the picturesque River Kwai River on board a local raft. Following this, enjoy a brief trip to the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre passing the beautiful North Temple and Chinese Cemetery.

At night the seating converts to an upper and lower bed. A private en suite shower, washbasin and WC is also provided in your cabin.
Chefs on board the Eastern & Oriental Express create a tantalising variety of Eastern and European dishes, using the finest fresh seasonal ingredients. Lunch and dinner are served in the two Restaurant Cars, each lavishly decorated with rosewood and elm panelling. Each morning a breakfast of freshly baked croissants, coffee or tea, juice and fruit is delivered to your compartment and for those passengers wishing to rise early to take advantage of the beautiful scenery, tea and coffee will be served for you in the Observation Car from 7.00am onwards.
The Observation Car is located at the very end of the train. Its interior section is the perfect place to enjoy cocktails amidst a colonial ‘veranda’ ambience with its teak wood flooring, paneled walls, rattan furniture and potted plants.
One-third of the Observation Car is an outdoor observation area decorated with teakwood. Offering unobstructed views, it is the perfect place to take photographs of the panoramic scenery and experience the sights, sounds and scents of South East Asia.
