REASONS

TO

TRAVEL NOW

no. 1

The Eastern & Oriental Express is

celebrating a milestone in style.

Marking 25 years of service, Belmond’s Eastern &

Oriental Express now features two carriages with

whimsical makeovers. Thai artist Somnuek

Klangnok is behind the playful princes and

princesses that adorn their exteriors. Also part of

the Art & Fashion in Motion program, fashionista

Thattaworn Sugunnasil has introduced uniforms

notable for the fact they look nothing like uniforms,

instead evoking a style that combines Oriental

flare with French tailoring. So, female attendants

wear solid silks that will leave passengers

pondering who is on staff and who requires a G+T?
