If the idea of immersing yourselves in the culture of the Far East sounds like the perfect honeymoon adventure for you you’ll love the Far East and Elephants
holiday, picked out by Thorne Travel.
Escape a dreary Scottish winter by flying to Hong Kong and kicking off your 21-night holiday with a two-night stay at the elegant Dorsett Mongkok hotel which is nestled between the bustling districts of Mong Kok and Tai Kok Tsui.
From here, you’re free to explore everything Hong Kong has to offer including mouth-watering food, vibrant culture and exciting nightlife.
After enjoying all the charms of Hong Kong it’s time to board the Celebrity Solstice cruise ship, where you’ll spend 12 nights in an ocean-view stateroom with an ‘Always Included’ classic drinks package and wifi.
Departing Hong Kong, your cruise takes in top sights including Vietnam’s Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City and Thailand’s Bangkok and Ko Samui, finishing in Singapore.
But your honeymoon doesn’t end when you arrive in port.
You’ll then enjoy exploring the idyllic beauty of coastal Khao Lak on Thailand’s west coast, just 80km north of Phuket.
Staying for five nights with breakfast at the 4-star Khaolak Merlin Resort, you’re situated right on the beach with numerous restaurants just a short walk away.
We reckon a trip to the hotel’s spa is a honeymoon must.
When you can tear yourself away from the beach it’s time to head inland to the Khao Sok National Park for your last three days, staying at the Elephant Hills Jungle & Lake Safari, the luxury tented jungle camp.
You’ll spend one night at the elephant camp and one night at the lake camp, allowing you to admire the beauty of Asia’s largest land animal.
At both camps you’ll stay in a spacious luxury glamping tent which has all the amenities of a four-star hotel to make your time in the jungle as comfortable as possible.
Activities at the Elephant Hills include spending time with the animals themselves where you can feed them and observe them in their natural habitat, and you could have a go at the canoe safari or the jungle trek.
With a full three weeks to explore post-wedding this truly is an adventure of a lifetime!
The 21-night Far East & Elephants holiday includes flights and transfers with prices from £5,629pp
