Eastern Orient Express Photo Guide.

A Picture Guide about our Far East holiday trip on this famous long distance railway journey between Bangkok and Singapore.

Below are a series of photographs which were taken on the luxurious Eastern Orient Express railway during it's long trip between Bangkok, Penang and Singapore.

The Eastern and Orient Express makes the 1260 mile trip from Bangkok in Thailand down through Malaysia to Singapore 2 to 3 times a month - the train gives you the height of luxury with beautiful accommodation and an excellent observation area at the end of the train. The trip starts off in the evening from Hualampong railway station and gets you into Singapore on the morning of the fourth travelling day i.e. you have two complete days on the train plus bits.
One particular place of interest is at the River Kwai - here the train waits for a while so that travellers can take a short cruise along the river and also have a look at the North Temple and the Chinese Cemetery.
