The tropical heat and bustle of Bangkok’s central station give way to the cool swish of silk. Stewards in traditional uniforms made from this exotic fabric greet you as you step on board the Eastern & Oriental Express – and into another realm.
The train sets off, and out onto the dramatic plains of Thailand’s remote north-east. Afternoon tea is served as you pass villages and emerald fields. When fully relaxed into the rhythm of the turning wheels, join Train Manager Ulf at an evening reception to meet fellow guests.
Ahead lies a voyage of discovery, travelling past farmland and forested valleys to where the Mekong separates Thailand from Laos. Here begins a high point of the journey: the train crosses the swirling river on newly laid tracks and continues along the first railway in Laos – a seven-mile stretch that leads to the capital, Vientiane. |

E&O passengers are among the few to travel this route to Laos. It is a wonderfully evocative way to arrive in a country once part of old Indochina and subsequently sealed off from the rest of Asia for many years. Vientiane has a delightful old-world air, with traditional markets, golden temples and colonial residences lining leafy boulevards.
This land voyage through Asia will encourage guests to look, learn and join in with activities along the way. Stop at Phimai to explore the impressive Angkor-style Khmer temples. Discover the vineyards of the scenic Khao Yai hills and sampe the "new" latitude wines cultivated there.
