Sit down to a pad thai at a street stall in Siam Square, soothe muscle fatigue with a traditional Thai massage or escape the city heat with a cruise along the Chao Phraya River.
Days 3-4
Khao Sok National Park
Spend a night in a rustic bungalow, situated amid ancient, gnarled rain trees, an array of animals and exotic birds. There's time here to explore the jungle on foot or on an elephant.
Days 5-7
Krabi
Sun-seekers will fall in love with the miles of unspoilt beaches in Krabi, the spectacular limestone cliffs will tempt avid rock climbers and there's plenty to see beneath the turquoise waters.
The ultra-modern Petronas Towers may dominate the skyline, but KL still retains plenty of Old World charm. With a full free-day to sightsee, why not visit the nearby Batu Caves or sample some local treats around Petaling Street.
Day 13
Melaka
With its colonial architecture and strong Malay, Indian and Chinese influences, Melaka is a true melting-pot of cultures. Delve into the long history of this Straits town wandering the ruins of A'Famosa, tuck into a bowl of Nyonya laksa in Chinatown or browsing the antique shops on Jonker Street.
Indulge in the Singaporean pastimes of eating and shopping - along Orchard Road, in Chinatown or in Little India.
