Eastern and Oriental Express
- Eastern and Oriental Express
The Eastern & Oriental Express carries passengers in luxury between Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The train travels through dense rainforests and towering mountains past golden temples, rubber plantations and remote towns and villages.
It runs between Singapore's Tanjong Pagar Railway Station and Hua Lamphong, Bangkok, stopping at Kuala Lumpur Sentral, Butterworth and Kanchanaburi, taking three days (two nights). Since 2007, the train has also travelled between Bangkok and Vientiane, the capital city of Laos.
Rolling stock
This luxury train was first built in Japan in 1972 and operated as the Silver Star in New Zealand. Its carriages were then remodelled and designed by Gérard Gallet, the man behind much of the design and refurbishment of other Orient-Express products such as the British Pullman, and the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.
Train schedule
The Eastern and Oriental Express operates a total of nine routes.
