Rail travel shows you what you miss at 30,000 feet up, passing through dramatic scenery, lush paddy fields & vibrant villages. Asia boasts its fair share of iconic rail journeys; the luxurious Eastern & Oriental Express, between Singapore & Chiang Mai, or the jaw-droppingly beautiful ‘Reunification Express’, running the full length of Vietnam’s coast from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi. Even the more day-to-day train journeys are fun, letting you spend time with the locals without the safety-net of your local-speaking guides. In our experience, these journeys - be they short commutes, sleeper trains, or all of Vietnam - become a highlight of your tailor-made Asia holiday.
