southeast asia’s dazzling rainforests, dynamic cities, and exotic culture has made it an alluring destination for travelers from around the globe. and  when combining sites within this vast region, most western travelers have found the distance has made it too expensive for the average vacationer.  now, friendly planet travel’s $1,599 11-day exotic borneo and bangkok tour puts southeast asia within reach, while creating an original and fascinating vacation combination. the package takes travelers on a journey through borneo’s mosaic of breath-taking rainforests, culturally unique villages, and intriguing history. then, it’s off to thailand for five days in the country’s largest, most electric city: bangkok.

“this tour’s combination of breath-taking rainforests and cultural villages of borneo juxtaposed with the incredibly dynamic city life of bangkok will fascinate even the most experienced explorer,” says peggy goldman, president of friendly planet travel. “diverse indigenous tribes, intriguing history, ancient rainforests, and diverse wildlife await travelers in borneo. and i’m confident that five days in thailand’s bustling capital city will have vacationers questioning the assumption of new york as bearer of the title, ‘the city that never sleeps.’”

travelers spend four days visiting three of borneo’s most ecologically and culturally significant destinations: kuching, bako, and batang ai. then it’s off to thailand for five days in the lively capital city, where they’ll experience many of the splendors of thai culture and natural and architectural beauty. besides friendly planet’s daily scheduled excursions, vacationers can also choose from a selection of discount tour options, or spend the day exploring on their own.

friendly planet travelers also have the option of extending their exotic borneo and bangkok vacation by adding a three-day pre-tour extension in kuala lumur, the capital of malaysia and one of asia’s most modern cities, before meeting the rest of the tour group in borneo. they can also add a three-day extension on phuket island, thailand’s famed tropical paradise.

the trip includes round-trip airfare from los angeles and all flights and ground transportation; first class hotel accommodations; some meals; and comprehensive sightseeing with a local, english-speaking expert guide.
