Kimkim Trip Reviews for Thailand

Hilda was amazing in assisting us with our travel planning. She was very quick to respond and to provide details for our itinerary and any requests.

During our visit to Thailand, we went to Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket. We were connected with 3 different host guides. Our guide, Amy, in Bangkok, was absolutely fantastic and we cannot pay her enough compliments. She was very knowledgeable and genuinely invested in us as her customers. She went above and beyond to make us feel at home in her City! Our highlight in Chiang Mai was our visit to an elephant sanctuary! We finished our trip with a visit to Phuket. We loved the beaches and had a great visit to some of the nearby National Parks!

Jeab put together a great plan for my trip, and always responded quickly if I had a question. I would absolutely reccomend her to any other travelers.

Attn: Ashley
Hi Ashley: We just got back a few days ago from our continued trip from Thailand. Our visit to Bangkok and Phukett were wonderful. Our guide Chai was a very nice man along with his driver. We have a few suggestions to make but overall it was a good trip.
1. Chai was very kind and informative but we have had other tour guides on previous trips that were a little more informed, maybe more in depth. Also his english was a bit limited so at times hard to understand.
2. Due to the traffic in Bangkok it does take a long time to arrive at tour sights. I feel this should be taken more into consideration when planning tours. For example we went to the temple (Friday ) and then came back to our hotel only to find out we had to go back in the same direction later that day to experience Chinatown. It took us 2 hours to get to Chinatown and then 1 hour there and 1 1/2 hours back. Also our "foodie tour" of Chinatown was nothing. Chai just walked with us and didn't seem to have a plan. Plus we paid for all our food which was to be included in the tour price. It was a frustrating day and tour.

Our expenses that we thought were included were Chinatown at $30.00 for food and the taxi we took from Phuket to our hotel was $30.00

The other issue I'm having is that The NaNirand Romantic Hotel has charged my credit card for $700.00 for a no show reservation. I had made my own reservation #BB24060316213178 for the hotel but cancelled by email on August 14th, 2024 when we decided to use your services. I think they are confused with your reservation for us which I hope you cancelled when we had to make the change to Phuket. Please take care of this situation as soon as possible.

Thank you again for your assistance.
Kim Kurzeka

Our trip was fun, although we found communication with Kelly to be challenging.

Hi,
Are trip to Thailand was amazing! The accommodations were nice. Are two favorite were the Krabi Sunset Cruises with Michael and his team and also the Elephant sanctuary. We wish we were told to bring a bathing suit and a change of clothes to get in the river with the elephants so we were disappointed about this. So please let future clients know.
Are tour guides Norre for Bangkok and Mur for the food tasting were fabulous and very knowledgeable.
Are Vietnam trip started off a little rocky but ended being great. Queen in Hoi An and Sarah in Hanoi were wonderful as well. The Athena cruise ship was amazing. The staff Mr Ha, Mr Tim, Ms Joey, Mr Kelvin, Mr Thor and Ms Megan for are day trip went above and beyond and were exceptional as was the entire staff.
Thank you all so much,

We had a terrific time traveling and everything went smooth and organized. Lacey couldn't have been more helpful! The local guides, transfer staff and drivers were also great. We really enjoyed the mini trips during the vacation too! The sightseeing, food, temples, palaces, parks and people were great to see and visit. The hotel selection was perfect and fit our styles well.
We really enjoyed the dinner experience with the local family. Our entire trip to Krabi was a homerun. Bathing with the elephants was great but a bit too long of a day. One mention, the trip to the national park was very physical, we enjoyed the visit but one of us did not take the walk through the park, just a bit too much.

Our guide in Bangkok (Julie) was great. She gave a 100% and was well prepared and attentive. Also, our driver in Bangkok (Ont) was great! Very helpful and well mannered. My thanks to both of them and I wish them the best.
As for Phuket, we never saw or heard from our guide (Jeffory). Some young lady with a private car picked us up from the airport and had no idea about our hotel booking, etc. Jeffory needs to get his act together! I would have at least sent a welcome message and an appology if I were in his place.

This was the easiest trip I ever planned and every part of it unfolded exactly as expected. No surprises, no disappointments and no hidden expenses. Kelly was the key. No matter how many changes I requested or tips and suggestions I asked for, she always came through with quality and precise answers. There was NO stress on this trip despite a 4 yr old traveler, 3 hotels, flights to the beach and shuttles to arrange. Our guide Nick in Bangkok was professional and made the tours feel “new” to us, even though he may have done them hundreds of times. He had good suggestions for breaks and lunch and my favorite was the temple tour and the “ sleeping Buddah” . The railroad market was also unique and exciting. But without the “cog in the wheel”
( Kelly) nothing would have come together as smooth and effortless as this vacation did. Many thanks , Kelly. I feel I’ve made a friend for life with you and any trips to Asia in the future will definitely include you as the “ specialist “. Highly recommended company and if it’s Thailand you’re interested in, you want Kelly on your team. 🙏🙌🌹

Our favorite activity was the day spent st Chai Lai Orchid. Our guide Robert was phenomenal. The interaction with elephants was more than expected. The Chiang Mai tour with Marty was a learning experience. Marty answered all questions with good detail. Once in Phuket the trip to Phi Phi Island was very memorable and exciting Toy was great and treated us special. He always called us by name and made sure we were taken care of. The cooking class with Jim was a lot of fun, the best food we had on our trip.

Mint was quick to take action to rebook outings and adjust hotel stay when a typhoon resulted in our flight being cancelled at the last minute. We stayed with family in a remote area of Thailand. On the day we transferred from this remote area to Bangkok, Mint found Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand where our family, including 6 grandchildren between 2-12 enjoyed seeing tigers, gibbons, and feeding elephants. The lunch buffet included with the tour was outstanding. It was good knowing we were supporting an organization that helps abused animals. The best part of going to the floating market was that we took a longboat tour to the floating market along a narrow canal that backed up to local’s homes. The Peking duck spring rolls in Bangkok’s Chinatown were delicious. This street food was provided by a fancy hotel vendor. We stayed at the beautiful Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort. The Manohra dinner cruise departs from the pier located at the Anantara hotel. The dinner cruise was enjoyable. When I inquired about discounts while on the cruise, staff gave us a Buy One Get One Free coupon at one of the Anantara bars. The extensive breakfast buffet at the Anantara Hotel was out of this world. The pool area is beautiful and the free gym was well appointed. Mint arranged for guides and drivers that arrived promptly. Mint was quick to respond to questions on What’s App and coordinated activities well. She was flexible in adjusting activities as the need arose. We enjoyed having a hotel near the night market in Hua Hin.

Our main guides Pukie and Ron were terrific. They were so helpful and friendly and provided so much interesting information about everything we saw. In fact all our guides from the Baan Chang Elephant Park to Thonburi were excellent. We loved having private guides to show us sites off the beaten path (my favorite was Wat Thong Noppakhun--like no other temple we saw in Thailand!) Our hotels were generally very comfortable. We would not hesitate to recommend Lacey's services for planning a trip to Thailand.

Tina was amazing from pre-trip planning to availability when small and I do mean small issues came up. We had an amazing trip. Our guides were excellent but a special shout out to Nora on the China town food tasting and the entire staff at SONEVA KIRI. What an incredibly special place and group of people.

Thank you all but especially Tina!!!

Our family used KimKim to help plan our summer vacation to Thailand, and we couldn’t be happier with the service. We would definitely use them again. I want to give a special mention to Julie, our tour guide in Bangkok. She made us feel like part of her family—always thoughtful, taking our family photos during the tours, sharing insightful information, and even providing us with snacks. We also want to recognize Toy, our tour guide in Koh Samui, who did an excellent job as well.

Our trip to Thailand was a dream come true for our family and 2 elementary aged kids. Kelly helped design an amazing itinerary, providing suggestions, clear communication, and seamless transitions. We had nearly as much fun designing and planning the vacation as we did while there! Once in Thailand, we were expertly guided by Julie Songsee in and around Bangkok. She provided us treats in the markets, introduced us to several fun experiences, provided insights into the culture and history of Thailand, and was attentive to our dietary preferences. In Chiang Mai, our guide, Jira, educated us on the history and culture of Northern Thailand. We loved our chats with him! Smile Lanna, our hotel, was particularly relaxing and comfortable, with great breakfasts and pool! We especially enjoyed the Thai cooking lesson and elephant sanctuaries, as well as the hike in the mountain rainforest. The floating huts in Khao Sok were gorgeous, along with the longboat rides and waterfall and cave hikes. Lastly, the hotel in Phuket was relaxing - right on the beach! Thanks for making our stay in Thailand so wonderful and relaxing. Great food, culture, people, and adventures!

We took a brief hour long boat ride before breakfast, then the boat ride back to the dock. Short day - we would have liked a longer tour today or perhaps another short hike before traveling home.

Overall the planning and tour were excellent. Kelly did a great job of modifying the tour several times before the actual booking. Communication with Heidi at Odinovotours was easy and responsive. Our guides in Bangkok (Tao), Siem Reap (Mr.T) , Saigon (Victor) and Hanoi and Ha Long Bay (Binh) and all the drivers were great! Very knowledgeable, descriptive, on time, and courteous. They always had cold water and cold washcloths for us. They even helped us check-in at the airports. It was wonderful to have guides everywhere who we were able to communicate with by WhatsApp.
The sites visited were amazing. The only thing we would have chosen differently were the hotels in Bangkok and Saigon. We wouldn’t stay there again, and possibly more time to rest in between all the touring. We are all in our 70’s and were very tired!
One more thing, while in Hanoi, it was my husband’s birthday. Without us mentioning anything, Odynovotours sent us a cake and the hotel sent us fruit and a dessert! A nice surprise!
Thank you Kelly Liu, kimkim, and Odynovotours for a great experience!

Maitria Hotel Sukhumvit 18

This hotel is in need of updating. The room we had didn’t even have a place to connect a cellphone by the bed. The bathroom was so old it didn’t look clean. It was humid in the room. The fan for the A/C never stopped, but it did not make the room more comfortable. The restaurant and breakfast buffet compared to the other hotels was subpar. Very small and the servers did not speak or understand ANY English at all. The location was good, though.

We definitely would not stay there again! So old and not updated at all. First was given a room without a shower (it was missing) was then moved at 11:00pm after a late tour to another room (had to re-pack our belongings) that had no water pressure, so the shower hit the wrong place and flooded the bathroom which was very small. All the bathtubs were so high it was extremely difficult to get in and out! Finally, the last night after complaining, we were allowed to use the bathroom next door which was a suite with a separate shower. Heidi at Odynovotours was responsive about this problem.

The first day on this cruise was nice. The cabin was very large and comfortable, also the bathroom. We were tired from a long trip, 23 days, so we basically enjoyed the amazing views of Ha Long Bay. Most passengers went on the 2 shore excursions, but we stayed on the ship and took advantage of the jacuzzi the size of a very small swimming pool but refreshing just the same. The food was acceptable, but they charged extra for everything, even water and coffee. The drinks were not good, but anyway the bar didn’t open until 5:00pm so no drinks for people who stayed on the ship., not even soft drinks. The sunset and view were breathtaking that night. It would have been nice to have some music, but they had none. We paid for some massages which were relaxing. The staff were very pleasant and nice, friendly

Our trip was filled with unbelievable tour, tour guides, translators and drivers. Everything was planned perfectly and we never had to wait on anything. All the guides, and drivers were waiting on us at the airports or pickup locations.

Book with confidence and then sit back and enjoy the adventure you planned.

Thanks for a once in a lifetime trip KimKim and Ada.

Ada was very accommodating and helped us plan a very personalized trip. We are very pleased with the results of her planning efforts, suggestions, and local guide selections and had an amazing time while exploring Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Thank you, Ada!!
