How/where can I book a vacation including a luxury train trip from Bangkok to Singapore? The only option I have found is orient-express.com.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It's remarkably easy, safe, and comfortable to travel from Bangkok to Malaysia & Singapore by train. The whole 1,946 km (1,249 miles) trip costs just £33 or US$ 50 one-way, including sleepers, a real bargain.

For those who want to experience luxury train travel, the Eastern and Oriental Express, which runs between Bangkok and Singapore is THE way to travel.

Yes, a trip on the Eastern and Oriental Express will set you back over $2,000. But this includes a chance to get off the train for some guided tours of sites like the Kwai River and Penang's historic Georgetownlinks.
