- Welcome onboard one of the World’s Greatest Rail Journeys! This is First Class on Asia’s Most Luxurious Sleeper Train!
Watch this video before booking Belmond’s “Eastern & Oriental Express” train out of Singapore and through Malaysia! On our journey through massive cities and ancient rainforests, we’ll spend four days and three nights on Asia’s most luxurious train!
Belmond’s “Eastern & Oriental Express” First Class Train should be at the top of your travel bucket list. In this video, we’ll leave Singapore at 3:00 on our first day and return four days and three nights later. Along the way, we’ll travel in a First Class train car in the Presidential Suite with every amenity you can imagine (and some First Class Luxuries to surprise you!).
Onboard the Presidential Suite experience, we’ll have our own dedicated Attendant to take care of our every need, a HUGE room with massively comfortable beds, and delicious, five star food.
Our room is one of two Presidential Suites on the train, right next to one of two premium, first class bar cars onboard, complete with snacks and other treats along our journey.
We even had the opportunity to get out and explore the 130 million year old rainforest in Taman Negara National Park.
You’ll see the sights, the food, and gain insight into what it’s like to travel on this incredible First Class Train: Belond’s “Eastern & Oriental Express.”

I'm a simple man. I see a new Jeb Brooks video, I click on it.
same
Same
Same.
Me too.
Me too! 😅
The production quality on this channel is equal to anything you can get on TV. Amazing job, guys. Beautiful and informative. I really enjoy your work.
Wow, thank you!
I regret to inform you, Jeb, but when it comes to afternoon tea, I am Team Suzanne all day long!
I'm from the Boston area, but who doesn.t like afternoon tea. Fun, sophisticated & Yummy! Team Suzanne!!
Nothing like a Saturday morning and a good train video!
Absolutely this makes my Saturday morning
Thanks for coming along!
@@GreenerGrass Jeb, your videos make my WEEK WORTHWHILE! 😅 Just wets my appetite to visit these awesome places and experience these trains planes or automobiles! (Get the pun!) 😂
Stumbled on this channel last week. I'm hooked for life! Stay safe you two
Yes...Jeb gets MEATBALLS on a train again!!! Thank you for my weekly vacation.
Jeb & Suzanne: "We are not fancy"
also Jeb & Suzanne: traveling on the most luxurious commercial transportation modes...
I enjoy the storytelling, the background music is relaxing, and the experience on board makes me want to travel...
Ya not fancy with Jeb in his 40K dollar Patek Caltrava
Yeah, I always laugh when they say it. It’s generally like once a video and it’s always when they are doing something very fancy. I think their definition of fancy is royalty. I’ve never even heard of 75% of the food they eat in these excursions. They are a long way from cup of noodles and spam that a good chuck of us eat haha. Still doesn’t take away from the videos though and I’ll always enjoy them. It just gives me a chuckle whenever they talk about not being fancy.
Yea let’s not wax lyrically about Jeb. I love his videos but his travels are not the norm and are not what most of us can afford. A little bit of humble travel from time to time wouldn’t go astray.
Next week: An overnight trip on the NYC Subway.
Lol
Featuring fun celebrity appearances - like Pizza Rat and that Q-Anon Elmo from Central Park!
When you say you are not "fancy", it is what makes your channel very enjoyable. See places from a "regular" persons view, a lot more fun than watching reviewers which are clearly corrupted. Keep it that way! 😃
A regular guy who wears a $30k A Lange & Sohne
@@nedflanders3769 I was gonna say, I've seen your watches Jeb, you can't fool me!
@@austinclark2378 I enjoy his channel and he seems like a really nice guy. But not a blue collar guy. 😜❤️
dude is regularly riding on five figure train rides. y'all are wack if you think he's a regular Joe
Yea let’s not wax lyrically about Jeb. I love his videos but his travels are not the norm and are not what most of us can afford. A little bit of humble travel from time to time wouldn’t go astray. I’ve seen a few other reviewers that do the same have lost viewers over the last few years - specially as we seem to be entering a financially different period and perhaps a recession.
People that love his videos
👇
Jeb I just love how positive and humble you and your wife are! I really enjoy all of your videos
Now you need to do the cheapest sleeper train. Because that's more achievable for 99% of us, lol.
I live in Singapore and I didn't know such a service exists! I really enjoy your rail videos, keep it coming!
it used to run all the way to Tanjong Pagar which was very grand ending for the train trip
We aren't fancy but we gonna pay 17K for a Presidential Room for a 3 night trip. 🤣😂
Totally agree 💯😒🙄
Thanks Jeb and Suzanne for taking us along. 2 thumbs up !!
These train videos are incredibly beautiful! Love these videos Jeb!
💯% agree with Suzanne on the afternoon tea (and sweet treats being the best part)... bonus: she held up her pinky finger! Love it! 😂🥰
If there's a meatball to be found it'll end up on Jeb's plate...enjoyed you and Suzanne's adventure
I hope you ate those mangosteen! It's very expensive (known as the queen of fruits). Those ones were definitely fresher than any you could buy back in the states.
Greetings from Penang, Malaysia! Hope you and Suzanne had enjoyed your trip in Malaysia! Thank you for the great video as hoping someone will make a video about the Eastern & Oriental Express. Hope you will be back to Malaysia soon as there is so much more to explore here. Hopefully one day you will make a video reviewing Malaysia Airlines with your JebScore!
ps. Taman means Park, Negara means Country, so in a sense it literally translate to National Park. 😅
Thank you! Can’t wait to return to Malaysia!!
I’m not usually one to follow trains but THIS…this is incredible…thanks for taking the time to bring us along!! I don’t think many people realize how much work goes into, Planning, and execution of the plan…not to mention how you guys didn’t have to record this and you could’ve easily taken this time to relax but no! Just shows your guys passion, and commitment to this platform…thanks guys!
The longer train videos like this are some of my favorites
Wow. You folks are living a dream. Enjoy.
Now this is real First Class and the food!! PS. You two always look so nice when you go to dinner! Makes the Americans proud!
And that they act like decent people, no fighting or acting nasty towards people.
Bro the bedroom is better than mine 😢
I absolutely love the humility both of you have and the love you have for one another! So inspiring - my wife and I love watching your travels!
“How classy” … crumbs everywhere. 😂 Impeccable timing. Extraordinary train ride. Thanks for another great video. Wow. I have to get back to eating my kids cold leftover frozen chicken nuggets.
The table “allows Suzanne and me …” to …. Bless you for your good grammar! 😊
most likable couple on CZcams by far!
i love the warm toned woods throughout the train. so beautiful!
Thank you again for showing a whole lot of the scenery in superior quality. 30 seconds & better when exceptional scenery is much appreciated. So many blogs use too many cliches speed changes.
Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you🥰
You keep it fresh in your adventure choices. The rainforest really was a rare opportunity and that symphony of bug sounds; I loved it. They didn't miss a thing. Well worth it.
I really appreciate how grounded you guys have stayed through all the luxury and high class living! Thank you for sharing another incredible experience!
I’m 3 minutes in and I’m blown away. The longer the trip on this train the better.
That's why we love you guys so much, you're not fancy, you're real and that is so much better 😁. Thanks for another great video!!
Thanks! I just wanted to say that perhaps, since you are the owner of your videos, you can sell them, or pieces of them, to travel agencies in the future. I'm sure I'm not the first one to suggest it. BUT if I am. I want to be somewhere you will be. Maybe at my expense. I love you both.
Another spectacular trip for you guys. Thanks for taking us along.
It’s always a great day when a new Jeb Brooks video comes out.
Great video! I took the E&O in 2004 from Singapore to Bangkok. Had a blast! Dinners were black tie back in those days. So glad it’s back in service and hope it will restore service to Thailand soon!
This was just a fabulous travel blog. You and Suzanne bring it every time. I love the way the two of you make it feel as if we’re part of your journey. As a person who loves train travel myself, this was an absolute treat.
Thank you! That was a fine trip to watch.
Thanks for the ridealong..as always!
Hi malaysian here . I hope both of you had a good time in my country and hope to see you visit Malaysia again soon !
Yes, it's an expensive ticket but three or four days on that sort of luxury, is worth it! This is a bucket list item for me now!
Susanne looks extra beautiful in this video. Her skin looks amazing! 🙂
I noticed too!!!!❤
Spectacular!! Thank you1❤❤
So so good! Your videos are some of the best! Thanks for sharing the journey with us.
The train, room, food, and scenery Wow just beautiful...Thank you for letting us enjoy it as well.❤
What a beautiful train!!! I live my travels vicariously through you and Suzanne!!! I love the way you both enjoy what you're doing!! Much love to you both, keep the videos coming!!😃❤️
I had had the same reaction as Suzanne when I saw that room...WOW! What a great train and trip. Thanks for sharing with us. SR
Fellow Malaysian here....and glad you're able to finally step foot into the better parts of the country , enjoy yourself and well, taste the strong coffee.
I would also dream of taking this train in way distant future....alongside that Indian Pacific train in Australia you've reviewed in the past. My wallet ain't gonna thank me lol
I rode Amtrak back in 1988. I was in an individual room. A toilet and a sink were all I needed. It was the greatest experience for a long-ish train ride.
I don't eat horse-meat. LOL
Just when I think your videos can’t be better, you post a gem like this one! So glad to follow you two!!
So my wife and I have been to Singapore and Malaysia several times, it is one of our favorite destinations in the world. And we’re actually in the process of retiring to M’asia within the next few years.
And while I realize the conceit of this channel is planes and trains, I literally choked when you revealed the price for this trip. That is literally *two years* worth of rent at the condo we are looking to move into over there!
All I can say is, I sincerely hope that after traveling to the literal antipodes from the US, that you guys stayed there for another week or two to experience the country as one should: great hotels at amazing rates, and some of the best food in the world at insane prices. I’m hard pressed to spend more than US $5-10 at a hawker center in My (maybe twice that in Sg), and they have always been some of the best meals on the planet. Hope you make more vids in SE Asia!
This train route has literally been on my bucket list since I was in High School (which is now approaching ~ 15 years at this point)- I lived and worked in Thailand for two years and did a lot of travel through Malaysia and Singapore so just any kind of relaxing trip is still number one in my book! Awesome video!!!!
Thank you for another great trip, Team Brooks! Keep up the excellent work!
JEB! So glad to see you back! 😁 Trains are my absolute favorite way to travel and see travels! Excited to see this adventure! I haven't watched it just yet but I'm crossing my fingers Suzanne is with you! I love the solo vids but Suzanne is a queen! 🎉 Happy travels!
Trains are also my absolute favorite way to travel and I am retired from the airlines and can fly for free and would rather pay to take a train.
Incredible trip. As always, thank you for taking us along!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love you guys, thank you for sharing all these amazing journeys 💛
The afternoon tea, fresh fruit and flowers are lovely treats! 🌻🌻🌹
Thank you for sharing your journey with us
Amazing that they were able to deliver these luxury experiences (gourmet food, perfectly made beds, liquor, and top notch service) within the confines of a train. The management and staff of the company deserve recognition for going above and beyond expectations.
We love your and Suzanne’s train videos and always enjoy a vicarious ride. Keep riding the rails, please.
Excellent video. Beautiful excursion; and that train was gorgeous. You and Suzanne definitely know how to present luxury trips. It's always informative and breathtaking to see. Then comes my absolute favorite- the bloopers. You two are a very hilarious couple. I love it. Again, excellent.
I got to work in Singapore 2005-2007 and have flown to Asia 11 times, but I've never been on a train like this. Thank You so much for sharing!
What a wonderful trip and the food looked amazing.
I àlways look forward to Saturdays, when Jeb posts a video. The train looks so gorgeous, you both are riding on
Beautiful!
Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoy your channel.
Another great video Jeb!!! You serve as inspiration for me to succeed so I can enjoy the travel experiences you have had.
This was fabulous!!! I love watching all your excursions but the train travels are my favorites!!!
Thanks for another fabulous adventure!! 😊🎉❤
LFGGGGG so excited for this one! Thank you.
Excellent, NEW JEB Content!!!! Sending the good vibes from Winnipeg as always!! You’ll have to come back here and take the train to Churchill!!!
I'm glad I found this channel a while back, I've thoroughly enjoyed the many videos I've watched! Thank you both for the work you've put into it; I love all forms of travel but trains are the one I have yet to experience, your videos are perfectly informative and appreciated and have really opened my eyes to how fun it will be! Thanks, again, for sharing (which I know is sometimes frustrating to do) but I hope y'all are having a blast while doing it! 🤗
Loving your videos, I have been living in the UK for 14 years and afternoon tea is still a rarity for me but once you've had afternoon teas in all their glory you'll grow to like them
Dear Jeb and Suzanne, thank you for sharing another amazing adventure! Your videos are a wonderful way to unwind and end a busy day!
I always learn so much on your videos - excellent and fun to watch!
Hope you do some tours of Singapore!
Excellent video!! Thank you!
Jen, your voice is perfect for the career you have chosen!!!❤
Born and raised in Malaysia, good call on keeping your luggage with you. 😂 Thanks for an amazing luxurious video.
Is a rainy May morning and a new video to watch? ❤ ah yesss
Excellent video again. Thank you.
First rate production about a first rate voyage. Thank you!
Hi Jeb & Suzanne...selamat datang to Malaysia. You do pass by Ipoh Station, where my hometown is. Hope you guys have a memorable Malaysia hospitality on E&O luxury train
Absolutely beautiful!
Another great video. I love this channel. Suzanne is beautiful inside and out. She has natural beauty.
Love your watch collection
I absolutely love your videos! At almost 80 I’m not traveling anymore of course never say never but for the most part I’m just at home so your videos take me places I’ll never go thank you! Have you ever found meals that you just couldn’t eat that just weren’t to your taste at all?
This is a next-level train experience! Can't wait to experience it firsthand. Thanks for sharing this amazing video
It doesn't get any better than this, let's go ❤😊
When bro said he wasn't into afternoon tea.. as a British person I nearly choked on my tiny scone :0
Love your channel…afternoon tea served everyday sounds like heaven. Jeb…😢
Good video👍🏾👍🏾. Beautiful train inside and out!!❤❤
As a Malaysian thank you for having a wonderful time in our country! We hope to see you again soon!
Great video, as always, thank you very much for the content, sir
Wow wow wow. My top "bucket list" trip changes just about every time I watch one of your videos. And I'm with @jacktat. Couldn't have put it any better myself.
I really like when Jeb show us his amazing watch collection
This absolutely is my most favorite trip of yours yet. That train is amazing. On my bucket list if I get rich some day. Thank you!
This is one of the few You Tube channels that I never need to hit the fast forward button !
Right! Because you skip the video with these unattainable trips for the average Joe.
