En route to Thian Hock Keng Temple, one of the oldest and ornate temples of Singapore, the coach will take you through Singapore’s famous Chinatown before stopping at Mount Faber, where you can disembark for a panoramic view of the harbour. On to a local handicraft center for picking up souvenirs, after which you will be taken to the National Orchid Garden nestling in the city’s beautiful Botanic Gardens. We will end the tour with a stopover at Little India, which will fill your senses with the scent of joss sticks, jasmine and spices. Later, you may go for a Night Safari or do some shopping. Overnight at hotel in Singapore.

After breakfast, you will have the day to yourself.

After breakfast, you will be taken for a half-day guided tour of historic and modern Bangkok, or the City of Angels as it is known to the Thai people. The tour will take you to the elaborately-built, most ancient temple of the Wat Pho, or the Reclining Buddha temple, also considered as Thailand’s oldest university, besides the magnificent Grand Palace and Bangkok’s central railway station, Hua Lamphong. The trip includes a visit to the Wat Traimit or Golden Buddha temple that houses a 5.5 tonne solid gold statue of the Buddha, which was discovered by accident when its’ plaster casing broke whilst it was being transported to its new home. Then you will visit a gems factory, where you will see their team of experienced artisans cut, polish, and set each precious stone to create perfect, exquisite and unique pieces of jewellery. Overnight at hotel in Bangkok.

Following breakfast, you will have time for some last-minute shopping. Bangkok has some excellent department stores and designer boutiques housed in upmarket complexes such as The Emporium (Phrom Phong is your BTS station), MBK or Siam Paragon. There are several sales around the year so you can be sure of picking up a bargain. With all the enticing shops around you, please remember you have a flight to catch. Also keep in mind that you can get VAT refunds in Bangkok, so please keep your receipts from the stores for encashment. On your return to the hotel, you will be transferred to the airport to catch your flight back home.
