Close All Days
DAY1
Tokyo
Close Day
Arrive in Japan after your overnight flight from the US
Variety is Tokyo’s key. Few other world cities are as wonderfully idiosyncratic. International and local influences intertwine in cuisine, festivals, music, galleries, shopping and even accommodation. Bizarre and fast-moving, yet peaceful and intrinsically religious, Tokyo’s identity is above all, distinctly Japanese, despite existing as a world of its own.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Settle into your Japanese Hotel
DAY2

DAY8
Bangkok
Close Day
Spend your morning exploring before bidding farewell to Vietnam and heading to Bangkok
To arrive in Bangkok is to be thrust into the pulsing heart of the Orient, a sprawling mega-city encompassing 50 districts and six ever-expanding provinces. Plan on 3 nights to explore this amazing city and it's culture and beauty. Known to the Thais as "Krung Thep," South East Asia's own "City of Angels" epitomises the East meets West tradition, where ancient trends blend and thrive with cutting edge sophistication. Bangkok throbs and pulses with relentless heat and frantic pace as tuk-tuks zip along concrete boulevards and Skytrains zoom overhead. The true engine room behind "Amazing Thailand," this city will amaze, dazzle, and humble the most seasoned global wanderers with its exciting fusion of cultural, spiritual, historical, and cosmopolitan charm.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Settle into your Thai Hotel

DAY12
Phuket
Close Day
Spend your first full day relaxing on the beach and getting to know the area
Phuket and its surrounding islands are some of the most beautiful and intriguing in the world. Tall outcrops of limestone rise vertically from the sea, and probably the most famous of these was used as a location for one of the James Bond films. It’s now known as “James Bond Island,” but its real name is Phang-nga. Set just off the west coast of Thailand, in the Andaman Sea, Phuket is about the same size as Singapore. The main town is Phuket Town, but many visitors stay in the beach resorts of Surin, Katu, Karon and the most famous (and busy), Patong. To get from Phuket to Patong takes about 20 minutes. Phuket Town has all the administration offices, bigger business hotels and department stores, whilst the beach resorts cater more to the holiday maker. However, excursions to the islands off Phuket go from the port at Phuket Town.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Beach!
