This trip combines the security, ease and value of group

Begin in Singapore, a vibrant city with a medley of fascinating

traditions. Then board the lavish Eastern & Oriental Express

train and journey north to Thailand through landscapes of rice

paddies and virgin forests. Marvel at Bangkok’s treasured

a deeper understanding of these diverse destinations.

This trip combines the security, ease and value of group

Dear UCLA Alumni and Friends,

Join an enthralling passage through Singapore, Malaysia,

Thailand and Cambodia, wondrous countries imbued with

the riches that come with long histories and diverse cultures.

Begin in Singapore, a vibrant city with a medley of fascinating

traditions. Then board the lavish Eastern & Oriental Express

train and journey north to Thailand through landscapes of rice

paddies and virgin forests. Marvel at Bangkok’s treasured

temples and discover local life along colorful waterways.

In neighboring Cambodia, regard the impressive Angkor ruins

of Siem Reap, an unforgettable experience. Along the way,

special visits and demonstrations showcase local personalities

and talents. Renew your spirit in Southeast Asia and gain

a deeper understanding of these diverse destinations.

This trip combines the security, ease and value of group

travel with opportunities for independent exploration. Space

on this exclusive journey is limited, and the trip is sure to sell

out quickly, so make your reservations today! I have traveled on

this tour if you have any specific question. The Eastern &

Oriental Express experience is amazing!

Regards from Westwood,

Christel Aragon
