Stopover DestinationsWhen you travel to Thailand, there is usually little extra cost to your Thailand flights if you just transit, or opt to take a stopover. A two night stay is usually enough for a good rest, and enough time to have a good look around the highlights of the city. We can arrange your accommodation, and there is plenty of choice from a simple comfortable lodge, to deluxe hotels, always centrally located. |
DubaiDubai is an amazing place to behold. From the timeless tranquillity of the desert springs a city that offers a wealth of attractions for visitors and makes a great stopover while you travel to Thailand. Rather conveniently, Dubai lies almost half way between the UK and Thailand, and offers many regional departures, making it an excellent Thailand travel stopover option. |

Hong KongEveryone should visit Hong Kong at some point or another in their lifetime, so why not incorporate this when you travel to Thailand? Officially Hong Kong is a part of China, but on the other hand it’s remarkably un-Chinese. A visit to Hong Kong will include a wide variety of skyscrapers, countless shopping malls, a massive amount of Chinese signs, fast-walking high-powered Chinese business women on cell phones and shop windows filled with the strangest looking food you’ve ever seen. However, it's also home to incredibly photogenic places such as Hong Kong Island where the typical Chinese junks are docked. Catch the Star Ferry and enjoy a China tours harbour cruise for only 2 Euros. Aberdeen harbour offers a wonderful view of Victoria Peak that you won’t want to miss.If you like, we can also arrange a starter pack here, with our Easy Going in Hong Kong module. This includes an airport transfer and 2 nights in a Hong Kong hotel in Kowloon, Hong Kong Harbour or Lantau Island. If you have a little more time to spend in China, we can also arrange your China Travel Plan for you. |
SingaporeA bustling, extremely affluent and indeed, very clean city-state. Some people think it is boring and predictable, we think it's well worth a two day visit. The city has a little bit of everything, from Chinatown with its typical markets, to the original facades of Little India, also Arab street with it's temples and colourful streets packed with silk traders.One of the best things about Singapore is the food and drink. Singapore can offer everything from cheap to chic, from western to true Singaporean, in an Eastern ambiance that's almost unrivalled. If you want to relax and have some fun, head for Sentosa island with its beaches, amusement parks and entertainment it's a popular choice. Make sure you check out the Night Safari, it's really a unique experience. Try a bumboat trip out into the bay to see the Merlion statue, visit one of the many museums, and round the day off with a drink in either the Palm or Long Bar at the famous old colonial hotel Raffles. Sound good? Just let our friendly Thailand travel specialists know and they'll arrange your trip here with our Singapore starter pack. |

Kuala LumpurIf you're planning to travel to Thailand, the cosmopolitan capital of Malaysia is certainly worth a stopover and we can arrange a trip here for you with our Kuala Lumpur starter pack.Whilst in "KL," take the lift to the observation deck of the Petronas Towers, still the highest twin towers in the world, but how much longer? And then there’s also the neo-colonial, Anglo-Moorish style train station, the ultra-modern Masjid Negara mosque and the surprising contrast, interlaced between the high rise buildings, the small streets and kampongs where the pace of life is quite a bit slower. You'll be spoiled for choice when it comes to eating in KL. Malaysian satay and excellent fish-head soup compete with plenty of cheap fast-food restaurants (if you not feeling so adventurous). If you've got time on your Thailand flights, how about a day trip to Malacca, a lovely city with fantastic old Dutch ruins? |
