THAILAND – Bangkok Experience With Meditation
Visit three of the most unusual Buddhist temples in Bangkok, starting with the Wat Traimit. Located at Chinatown, in Yaowarat Road, Wat Traimit contains the largest golden Buddha in the world at nearly five meters high and five tons and a half. The tour continues to Wat Pho, home to the enormous reclining Buddha at 46 meters long and covered in gold, complete with Chedis of the Kings.
Then visit the Grand Palace, undoubtedly the most famous monument of the city. In the afternoon we enjoy a unique experience practicing meditation for 2 hours, guided by a monk in a Buddhist monastery. To return to our hotel we take a number of exciting public transport types.
VIETNAM – Hoa Lu to Tam Coc

Departing Hanoi at 8.00am, our first stop is at Hoa Lu, aformer capital of Vietnam. Here we see the ruins of the former capital before the legendary Ly Thai To moved the Imperial city to Hanoi. In the late morning we depart for Tam Coc town for a delicious Vietnamese lunch. After lunch, we take a traditional sampan through beautiful rice paddy scenery and visit the three famous grottoes: Hang Ca, Hang Giua and Hang Cuoi. Drive back to Hanoi in the late afternoon.
MALAYSIA – Kuala Lumpur City Tour
This spectacular city tour in Malaysia takes you on a drive through the Lake Gardens before stopping to explore the National Mosque and Independence Square.

We then take a stroll through Chinatown and board the bus to Kampung Baru, a typical Malay area where most houses are still built according to traditional local style. The journey continues toward KLCC for a great photo shoot of the amazing Petronas Towers.
