SpiceRoads tailors three adventures in Southeast Asia as getaway options for Singapore's long August 7 - 10 weekend.
(TRAVPR.COM) THAILAND - June 12th, 2015 - Bangkok, Thailand (12th June, 2015) – Coinciding with the four-day long public holiday celebrating Singapore's 50 years of independence (August 7-10, 2015), SpiceRoads has organised three new pop-up tours: a classic tour of the backwaters of Kerala, India; a mountain bike adventure in Bali, Indonesia; and a road ride through the hills of Kanchanaburi in Thailand.
