Thailand Tailor-Made Trips & Experiences

The trip was absolutely AMAZING! Lacey, the Kim Kim team, and all our tour guides in each location were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Lacey was on top of things from day one of planning the trip; she always responded quickly and clarified all our questions. Ron, our guide in Bangkok, was the best. He made the most of our time together each day, adding in extra stops to eat freshly picked lychee from local vendors, getting us on the train to take to the Maeklong train market, and showing us the best food spots.

Everything went as planned, other than a last-minute cancellation of our yacht trip to Phi Phi Island, due to unexpected boat issues. Lacey was great at presenting alt activities, and when we ultimately decided to hang out at our resort, she quickly processed the refund for that activity.

The only thing I wish we'd discussed a bit more during planning was the proximity of our hotels to certain areas/activities (mainly in Phuket). Our hotel was great (we loved our private pool villa), but it may have been nice to be closer to Old Town Phuket (it was an hour away) to experience more of the island.

Overall, I would highly recommend using Kim Kim for planning you Thai adventure!

Railway Market & Floating Market

Bangkok

The railway market was awesome! Our guide Ron, also timed the start of our day so that we could pick up the train and actually take it into the market. So we got to experience walking the market and taking the train through it. The floating market was ok, but after the first stall or two, it felt repetitive. It had a lot of good food options.

Ron was a great guide, very personable and took tons of pics for us!

Transport

They always had cold water and air conditioning blasting for us.

Night Street Food Tour After Dark by Tuk Tuk

Bangkok

This was one of our favorite activities of the whole trip. We roamed the flower market with Chang and Leos in hand, trying things Ron (our guide) said he would seek out. He also took us China Town which was fun.

This trip was amazing. Our family had such a great time, we loved the people, the food, the culture. Both Paul (Bangkok) and Jackie (Chiang Mai) were incredible hosts/guides. They took us to places were we could learn about the local culture, food, and history. All the restaurants we went to with them were out of this world, and we could not get enough of the Mango sticky rice!!!
The elephant experience is hard to describe. Is beyond amazing, such beautiful beings. Our 8 year old says is the best thing she's ever done!
This trip will be forever in our hearts and we will make sure to visit Thailand again in the future.

Mint put together a great itinerary. Leena was punctual and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the whole trip. The cooking class might have been the highlight of the visit. The only suggestion would be during the tasting event in Chinatown that Leena would have provided tastes of several dishes. Instead she would ask if we wanted to try this booth or that booth. Once we had a dish it represented the whole meal and we had very little room for other foods.
