Pack your backpack and let's explore the three most exciting capitals of Southeast Asia and the historical pearl of Malaysia together! In just one week, we will visit 3 different countries that are all unique in terms of culture, architecture and cuisine. Our route: Bangkok 🍻 -> Singapore 🏙️ -> Malacca 🏯 -> Kuala Lumpur 🍜 ________________________________________ ❗Attention❗: ❌ For trip bookings after February 20, 2025, the Bangkok - Singapore flight is no longer included in the travel price ❌ Why? The closer to the start of the trip, the more expensive flights and (good) accommodation become. Since I can't book flights in advance (without name and passport details) and I don't want to set the trip price unnecessarily high in advance to have enough buffer, I have to pay for the flight BKK - SIN myself from February 20 (approx. 50-90€). Of course, this also reduces the trip price from February 20th. However, I will gladly continue to book the flight or support you so that we are all on the same plane. :) ________________________________________ ℹ️ OVERVIEW: Day 1-3: Bangkok Our journey begins with a traditional street food dinner at one of Bangkok's most beautiful night markets. If it's your first time in Bangkok, I'll show you some of the typical (but worth seeing) highlights of the Thai capital. But we also like to visit the less touristy corners of my adopted hometown. The famous nightlife is not neglected here either! 🍻 🏯 Day 3-4: Singapore From Bangkok, it's off to the airport in the morning and on to the glittering city-state of Singapore. The city is one of the most modern, cleanest and most sustainable cities in the world and offers a stark contrast to the bustling and chaotic Bangkok. We will visit the highlights of Singapore, such as the Gadens by the bay and the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, and take a stroll through the new and "old" Singapore. 🏙️ Day 4-6: Malacca After a night in Singapore, we have time to explore the city at our leisure the next day before taking a comfortable coach to neighboring Malaysia in the afternoon. On the way to the capital Kuala Lumpur, we will make a stopover in Malacca and spend two nights here. The city was once an important trading metropolis for Europeans, as evidenced by the numerous Portuguese and Dutch colonial buildings that can still be seen in the beautifully restored old town. Day 6-8: Kuala Lumpur We will spend the last 3 days in Kuala Lumpur. We will take a bus from Malacca in the morning and thus have almost 2 full days to explore the metropolis "KL". For me personally, KL is one of the most diverse and interesting cities in the world. The melting pot of cultures offers a huge culinary selection. The prices are as cheap as in Bangkok, but the city skyline is just as modern and glittering as Singapore. This city is also the best of all 3 metropolitan areas for shopping. 🍜 🍍 Day 8: Departure ✈️ On the last day, I'm heading back to Bangkok. As the airport in Kuala Lumpur serves as an AirAsia hub, it is the ideal starting point to continue your journey through Southeast Asia or to fly back home from here. If you would like to fly back to Bangkok with me, please let me know after booking so that I can book you a ticket for the same flight (approx. 50-90$ ❌ not included). ✈️🏙️ ________________________________________ What can you expect on this trip? ➕ Discover 3 top travel countries in one week 🎒 ➕ Perfect mix of party, culture and city break. 🥳 ➕ A cool travel group, with a maximum of 6 people 🤗 ➕ Explore Malaysia's colonial past in Malacca 🏛️ ➕ Celebrate with other backpackers from all over the world in Bangkok 🍺🌏 ➕ Marvel at the skyline of Singapore and 🏙️ ➕ Enjoy the mix of street food cuisines in Kuala Lumpur 🍜 What is included in the tour price? ✅ All transfers (bus, train, cab, minivan) ✅ Flight BKK - SIN (by booking before 20.

The rainy season is just taking a break and the dry season has not yet reached its highest temperatures. ________________________________________
I have been living in Bangkok since mid-2024 and regularly travel to different parts of Southeast Asia from here. I have traveled a lot on my own but appreciate the company of other travelers with similar interests. That's why I've started sharing my travel plans on joinmytrip and look forward to meeting new people :) ________________________________________
Our accommodation will be simple but clean and well-kept rooms in well-located small hotels, hostels or guesthouses. If necessary, you can also book a single room for an extra charge. Only in Singapore will we probably share a shared room, as Singapore is one of the most expensive cities in the world. We may also stay in hostels with modern sleeping pods, which offer a good mix of privacy but also sociable common areas to quickly get in touch with other travelers. _____________________________________________ ℹ️ Travel safely as a woman ♀ and LGBTQ 🏳️🌈: I am aware that it can be a big hurdle to embark on a travel adventure with unknown male travel partners from different cultural backgrounds. However, to take away as many worries as possible right from the start and create more security, you can rely on the following measures: 1) Separate rooms 🚪 If no other woman is taking part in this trip alongside you, I will book you your own single room or bed in a dormitory of the same sex at your request. This means you always have a place to retreat to and a safe space, at no extra cost! 2) Woman to woman 🙋🏻♀️ On all my trips that start in Bangkok, there is the possibility that you can get to know my partner Hannah personally at our first dinner together. Should a situation arise during the trip where you feel uncomfortable and prefer to have a woman as your contact person, you can contact her or my co-tripleader Lama from JMT. 3) You always have a choice ⛔ If you realize during the first few days that the chemistry just isn't right or you feel uncomfortable in the presence of other tripmates and we can't improve the situation through a confidential conversation, you can cancel the trip as a last resort even after the trip has started. And without having to pay the full cost of the trip. I will refund you the full amount of your trip price in the local currency, minus - Costs already incurred for activities, accommodation and transportation - JoinMyTrip commission (10-15% of the trip price, JMT may refund you the fees afterwards) - Costs for future bookings that can no longer be canceled (e.g. flights, train/bus or accommodation) As a rule, you should receive at least 60-70% of your travel price back. Money should therefore not be a motive that prevents you from listening to your gut feeling! _____________________________________________
