Please contact us for details of the complete itineraries for each journey. As all our holidays are tailor made why not incorporate a train journey into your itinerary. For example you could have a few nights in Bangkok then take the train to Buttersworth where you will be met by one of our representatives and taken over the 10 mile bridge to Penang to continue your holiday in one of our fantastic hotels. As you can see from the itineraries there is a multitude of options which could be fitted around your Malaysia Holiday and we will be happy to make some suggestions if you contact one of our sales team.
