In the film, Thai Bachelor Parin (played by Win Metawin) heads to Hong Kong to find his missing mother. There he meets a Filipino hotel employee, Iris (played by Janella Salvador), and together they find romance, joy, heartbreak, and healing as their story unfolds against a mix of well-loved, and lesser-known but nonetheless awe-inspiring destinations in Hong Kong. 

Klook makes sure to keep its promise of enabling the excited traveler in all of us, which is why this May 3, 2024, Asia’s leading travel and experiences platform will be unveiling an exclusive tour inspired by Iris and Parin’s story.

1. Lantau Island Day Tour

The adventure starts with a cable car ride that connects Tung Chung and Ngong Ping on Lantau Island which is the gateway to culturally-interesting Hong Kong attractions such as Ngong Ping Village, Po Lin Monastery, and Big Buddha. Take the thrill up a notch by boarding the cable cars that feature 360-degree views of the South China Sea, the mountainous terrains of Lantau Island, and the Ngong Ping Plateau.  Inspired by the touching events in the movie, this tour also explores the quaint Tai O Village, a peaceful floating village, which will then be followed by an exciting session of dolphin-watching.

2. City-Guided Tour

This tour begins with a stroll through the streets of Little Thailand, a beautiful community painted in Thai culture, cuisine, and remembrances. Next stop is the Tin Hau Temple – while located in the bustling Yau Ma Tei, is a Declared Monument where fishermen flock to worship the Goddess of the Sea. Moving to the Bird Market is like being greeted by a colorful parade of exotic feathers, bound to catch your eye. A celebration of some of Hong Kong’s most celebrated names, the Avenue of Stars is next on the tour – this avenue has some of the best views of the breathtaking Victoria Harbour. What’s exciting about this tour is the voyage on the Star Ferry which crosses the stunning Victoria Harbour with views of the city’s majestic skyscrapers. Concluding this tour is the unassumingly symbolic Causeway Bay Sogo Crossing where the many roads of Hong Kong quickly intersect and transition, all amidst the bustling culture of Hong Kong.
