Description

Fed up with the strenuous process of travel: the slow queues, the delays, the crowds and the extreme discomfort of the average economy airline seat? The author in this case, decided it was time to do something about this. He arranged a trip designed to be the antidote to the routine travel misery - and booked a trip travelling only first class. The first challenge was to decide where to go. He decided to fly to Bangkok, stay in the world renowned Oriental Hotel, continue onto Singapore and stay at the equally famous Raffles Hotel. He then travelled in style back to Bangkok on the Eastern and Orient Express, where he spent two nights on what many people regard as the best train ride in the world, and finally concluded his travel at a luxury spa on the beach, to recover. Along the way, the author meets a rock and roll musician; visits dubious bars and colourful markets; has an encounter with the bodyguards of the Thai Royal Family; and embarks on a boat trip along the River Kwai. This lively, amusing account of luxury travel, highlights what every traveller secretly longs to do - travel in style and grandeur.

Patrick Forsyth has worked for many years as a business consultant and management trainer. Linked to this he is the author of more than fifty business and management, personal development, self-help and career books (for example, Successful time management and How to write reports and proposals, both published by Kogan Page. In recent years his writing has expanded into broader areas. He has had a humorous book published about miscommunication, Empty when half full, described by one reviewer as "hilarious". In addition, he has had short stories published and also writes about writing for Writing Magazine for which he also pens a monthly column. He first travelled to South East Asia some thirty years ago, and has visited regularly - especially to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand - for both work and holidays every year since.
