Funeral in Pattaya: "We were sad to hear that a good friend of ours had passed away after losing a long battle with cancer. Naturally we wanted to attend the funeral to pay our last respects, but we had never been to a funeral in Thailand before and had no idea what to expect. A friend advised us to wear black or white, or a combination of both, but other than that we had very little information." Kay and Dave discover how the last goodbye is said in Thailand.
A Trip on the Eastern & Oriental Express: "This is no ordinary train. Luxury prevails. In fact, Ulf Bruchert, the manager, confides that the train was modelled on the one in the 1932 Marlene Dietrich movie 'Shanghai Express'. The spacious carriages were designed for your comfort: antique brass fittings, gleaming wood panelling, large viewing windows, soft towels and Bulgari shower cream - total indulgence. And there's more: you have your very own cabin steward who is on call 24 hours a day. For $65 he will even bring you a bottle of Veuve Cliquot. Sheer extravagance..." Rowena Carr-Allinson pampers herself with a trip on the Bangkok-Singapore Eastern & Oriental Express.
