Two Kingdoms... Bhutan & Thailand with COMO Resorts
12 days from £10,450 for 2024 per person
This itinerary features in our Top 10 Romantic Holidays.
Explore the two very different kingdoms of Bhutan and Thailand with COMO Hotels & Resorts on a luxurious journey from ancient cities to the Himalayan mountain range and stunning Thai beaches.
On this bespoke tour you will discover the spectacular apple orchards and vast farmlands of Bhutan, along with its deep-rooted history of fortress monasteries (dzongs), temples and shrines. After days of exploring, spend the evenings relaxing and taking in the views of the pilgrimage surroundings. Enjoy spa treatments and indulge in traditional Bhutanese hot stone baths at your hotel.
From the mountains travel to Thailand’s largest and most luxurious island, Phuket, where you will spend four nights at Point Yamu the sexy island retreat on Phuket’s east coast. Here you can while away the days relaxing at the resort and seeing the wonders of Phang Nga Bay, famously known as James Bond island.
The final leg of your journey will take you back to Bangkok, which we think is a city that encapsulates 21st century Asia. Here you will spend two nights at the Metropolitan to uncover the iconic sights of the Royal Palace, soak up the atmosphere of the local markets and taste the range of cuisine on offer in this lively city.
This tailor-made itinerary to Bhutan and Thailand includes four and a half days of privately guided excursion in Bhutan with picnic lunches, all museum and visitor centre entry fees and road permits, three spa treatments per person, two full day excursions at Point Yamu and a half day city tour in Bangkok, and two complimentary dinners on the first at last nights of your stay.
This luxury holiday is a suggested itinerary; it can be booked as it is or used as a starting point for creating your ideal tour of Bhutan and Thailand.
