We had a fantastic honeymoon trip in Thailand! Using KimKim was a great experience. Initially, I was nervous, but after talking with our agent, Tina, I felt more at ease. Tina created an exciting itinerary tailored to our requirements and was highly knowledgeable and flexible, accommodating our changes to the itinerary until the week of our trip.

All our private guides showed us great hospitality and care. Leena, our guide in Bangkok, gave us an excellent tour of the temples and shared much information about Thailand's history and culture. Mrs. Da, our guide in Chiang Mai, provided a fantastic tour of Doi Inthanon National Park, which was truly memorable. We were well cared for and never felt lost or confused about our following plans.

Overall, our honeymoon was not only fun but also educational. We learned so much about Thailand in just a few days, making it feel like we had been there much longer. We look forward to our next trip with KimKim Travel and highly recommend their services.

Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong

This hotel didn't meet our expectations. The facilities in the room were not the best. The electric sockets didn't work properly. The shower kept going from hot to cold. The room felt damp even though the AC was on. The hotel was just average, it didn't meet our expectations or value for money. However their restaurants and staff service was very good. We enjoyed the food.

Tina, our local specialist from Kim Kim, took our basic desires and turned it into an magical week in Thailand. Without fail every flight, transfer, meeting and accommodations were handled flawlessly and every person on our journey that she had setup was very professional and fully ready to assist us in every way. While I was sceptical because I had found them online and my introduction to Kim Kim was only though reading reviews and on line reputation reports, we were very pleasantly surprised by the details of the planning/scheduling's and the constant communications throughout the entire process and during the trip. Thank you Tina for your expertise and assistance, you did a excellent job for us.

Our trip started in Bangkok where we met our guide Yee. She was fantastic. Her English was excellent, and was so accommodating. The catered to our interest and went at a perfect pace. The temples were amazing, but Yee was the highlight because she offered such great information on history, background and culture of Thailand. I can’t think of a better way to start our holiday. All of our domestic transfers on Bangkok airways were great. We learned how to register an extra bag online after first flight. Tina was great throughout the trip and responsive to any last minute questions we had. We love Koh Samui and diving in Koh Tao. Another unexpected highlight of the trip was John Gray canoe tour in Phang Nga Bay. There are so many excellent things to say about this tour. The environment, the crew, the vessel, our guide Josef, the food and Krathong flowers. It is had to describe the experience in words, but this is a must for anyone in the region. We enjoyed our time in Phuket, we made it to Similians and Phi Phi. We had a late flight on departure day and Tina helped with extending our driver. We had not made it to BigBuddha and he took us there and to Old Phuket town on our way to the airport. A great way to wrap the trip.

I had a fantastic trip to Thailand, which mostly was focused on beaches and relaxation. Thailand is just a perfect destination for it. At the same time, it was cool to be on a traveler's side, since I am a kimkim staff, and manage the Asian region. So my feedback is based not just on the impressions and experiences, but also on the knowledge about how tours should be conducted. We had just one private sightseeing tour in Bangkok included in the itinerary and our tour guide Lina was awesome! She is so passionate about what she does, she is knowledgeable and attentive to details.
We also had all transfers included, and the minivans provided for transfers were spacious, comfortable and had great air conditioning ( which is super important in Thailand), drivers provided us with cold water all the time. We had another speedboat "join-in" tour included in our itinerary, which I highly recommend. There were options and we were recommended a sunrise tour. It was fantastic to see the famous beach from Leo DiCaprio's movie "The Beach" without people since attending a sunrise tour allows you to enter the Island before all the crowds.
Also, I'd like to highlight the hotel we stayed at at PhiPhi Island - Phi Phi Co Co resort. I think this one was the best on the Island.
To sum it up - great tour, Tina is a great specialist and I am grateful for such a wonderful vacation.

We had a wonderful trip to Thailand. Most of the trip went very smoothly however we had a few occasions where things didn't go as planned. Tina was always on hand and very responsive and did her best to try to resolve these issues. In retrospect, we also realised that we missed seeing a few important sights which we would have expected Tina to highlight for us proactively. Although we would consider booking through kimkim again, more insight about what to see and where to go as well as a more proactive level of support from the local agency would have been appreciated.
