Stopover Destinations

There is usually little extra cost to your flights if you just transit, or opt to take a stopover. A two night stay is usually enough for a good rest, and enough time to have a good look around the highlights of the city. We can arrange your accommodation, and there is plenty of choice from a simple comfortable lodge, to deluxe hotels, always centrally located of course.

If you're thinking of incorporating Thailand into a multiple stop, or Round the world itinerary, again we have the knowledge and airline deals to arrange these. Just contact us.

Below are some of the more popular stopover destinations.

Bangkok

Thailand's 'city of angels', Bangkok, has everything and is a favourite stopover destination of Cambodia Travel Plan.

Amongst the traffic jams, there are glittering temples, great shopping, vibrant nightlife and friendly locals. There is more than enough to occupy you for a few days' stopover; head for the Grand Palace, the Royal Palace of King Bhumipol, and Wat Phra Kaew, Thailand's most important temple. Wat Po, with its enormous Reclining Buddha, is also recommended, as is the famous 'School of Massage', try a herbal massage if you're still feeling stiff from the flight? Thai food is also one of Thailand's best exports and surprisingly different to other Asian countries, choose from the 10p street stands, to high brow restaurants.

If you like, we can also arrange a starter pack here, with our Easy Going in Bangkok module. This includes an airport transfer and 2 nights in either a Central Banglamphu Lodge or a Boutique Hotel with rooftop swimming pool.

If you have a bit more time then spend a little more time in Thailand. We can also arrange your Thailand Travel Plan for you.

Hong Kong

Everyone should visit Hong Kong at some point or another in their lifetime. Officially Hong Kong is a part of China, but on the other hand it’s remarkably un-Chinese. A visit to Hong Kong will include a wide variety of skyscrapers, countless shopping malls, a massive amount of Chinese signs, fast-walking high-powered Chinese business women on cell phones and shop windows filled with the strangest looking food you’ve ever seen. However, it's also home to incredibly photogenic places such as Hong Kong Island where the typical Chinese junks are docked. Catch the Star Ferry and enjoy a China tours harbour cruise for only 2 Euros. Aberdeen harbour offers a wonderful view of Victoria Peak that you won’t want to miss.

If you like, we can also arrange a starter pack here, with our Easy Going in Hong Kong module. This includes an airport transfer and 2 nights in a Hong Kong hotel in Kowloon, Hong Kong Harbour or Lantau Island.

If you have more time then spend a little more time in China. We can also arrange your China Travel Plan for you.

Singapore

A bustling, extremely affluent and indeed, very clean city-state. Some people think it is boring and predictable, we think it's well worth a two day visit. The city has a little bit of everything, from Chinatown with its typical markets, to the original facades of Little India, also Arab street with it's temples and colourful streets packed with silk traders.

One of the best things about Singapore is the food and drink. Singapore can offer everything from cheap to chic, from western to true Singaporean, in an Eastern ambiance that's almost unrivalled. If you want to relax and have some fun, head for Sentosa island with its beaches, amusement parks and entertainment it's a popular choice. Make sure you check out the Night Safari, it's really a unique experience. Try a bumboat trip out into the bay to see the Merlion statue, visit one of the many museums, and round the day off with a drink in either the Palm or Long Bar at the famous old colonial hotel Raffles.

Kuala Lumpur

The cosmopolitan capital of Malaysia is certainly worth a stopover.

Whilst in "KL" take the lift to the observation deck of the Petronas Towers, still the highest twin towers in the world, but how much longer? And then there’s also the neo-colonial, Anglo-Moorish style train station, the ultra-modern Masjid Negara mosque and the surprising contrast, interlaced between the high rise buildings, the small streets and kampongs where the pace of life is quite a bit slower.

You'll be spoiled for choice when it comes to eating in KL. Malaysian satay and excellent fish-head soup compete with plenty of cheap fast-food restaurants (if you not feeling so adventurous). If you've got time how about a day trip to Malacca, a lovely city with fantastic old Dutch ruins.
