Synopsis by Rose of Sharon Winter
This train video is presented by PBS as one in its six-part series on great train rides of the world. For a luxurious visit to the Far East, a trip by rail car aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express offers an experience second to none. Just the names of the destinations evoke romance: Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok. The train makes its way through spectacular mountains, rainforests, and coastlines. The cars are furnished in 1930s Colonial-style splendor, with elegant appointments and delicious cuisine.
