Wonders of Singapore & Thailand

January 4, 2027 for 19 nights, hosted by M&K. Discovering Ancient Wonders and Natural Beauty from Singapore to Bangkok to Phuket.

Thailand: delve into a land where bustling modern cities, ornate ancient temples, and stunning jungle beaches coexist. Uncover the beautifully balanced mosaic of old and new, metropolitan, rural, and coastal.

In Singapore, traditional beliefs and novel experiences come together in an extraordinary blend.
