You will also take a day trip to the ancient city of Ayuthaya the former Siamese capital, 86km north of Bangkok, where magnificent temples, palaces and crumbling fortresses provide eloquent testimony to the city's former splendour. Days 4- 5: Chiang Mai Fly from Bangkok to the cultural city of Chiang Mai, situated in the north of Thailand and with a laid-back feel that will be welcome after the bustle of Bangkok. Explore the city's temples including Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, where ancient steps representing a mythological serpent lead to the temple, before you take advantage of the superb night market to pick up some bargains.

Malaysia City & Islands
11 Days Kuala Lumpur - Penang - Langkawi
Days 1-2: Kuala Lumpur This fantastic 11-day holiday takes advantage of the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Kuala Lumpur before a relaxing twin-centre beach break. While in Kuala Lumpur, known as `KL' by the locals, explore all of the city's best attractions including the Petronas Twin Towers, the Royal Palace and bustling China Town. Venturing further afield, view the spectacular Batu Caves, home of Hindu deities. KL is a great place for sightseeing and shopping and you will find there is plenty to keep you entertained in this wonderful city. Days 3-6: Penang After a short flight you will arrive on the scenic island of Penang. Often referred to as the `Pearl of the Orient', Penang offers miles of golden sandy beaches, the best known of which is Batu Ferringhi where most hotel development has taken place. The island also offers a wealth of multi-cultural heritage within its capital city Georgetown, a former British trading post, which comes alive at night when its many temples are brightly illuminated. See the city while enjoying a trishaw ride through Georgetown in the evening.

Days 7-11: Langkawi From Penang fly directly to Pulau Langkawi, the main island in a cluster of 104 islands scattered throughout the Andaman Sea, off the northwest coast of Malaysia. Langkawi has retained its rural laid-back charm, with few major developments on the island, offering a different face of the country. A naturally beautiful island, it is the gateway to Pulau Payar National Marine Park. During your last five days in Malaysia, explore the island or just relax on the deserted sandy beaches that fringe the island before flying back to KL.
