Personalized trips to Thailand
for independent travelers

I did not know exactly what I had hired until I got on the trip and I was supported through every part of the process. I appreciated the private guides in Bangkok and Chiang Mai (Giftsy and Timmy). They were incredible throughout my time in both cities and allowed for flexibility in our tours. It was so personalized to what we wanted to do and how much time we wanted to spend. Day was the true MVP of this process and helped us navigate changes in our schedule and clarify anything that was needed. He would respond within minutes to any of my requests. It was incredible. I would have probably liked more private tours when I was in Phuket versus the small group tour I took to Phi Phi Island. I did not request this so it was not the fault of anyone at Kim Kim. The work of the Kim Kim staff made it so I could just enjoy my vacation and not worry about what was next. It was seamless and effortless and overall wonderful!

Bathroom and showers are very dated and don't get very hotel. Front desk staff are incredible, kind and helpful. Even took our laundry to town for us to get washed!

At Pingnakorn Riverside Hotel

Chiang Mai

Beautiful hotel but also aging somewhat. The breakfast in the morning was not great and one morning despite it starting at 7, no one was available to do eggs or coffee for about 25 minutes and it took them 45 minutes to make pancakes. It was frustrating because there were limited other options to eat for breakfast and we had an excursion.

Bangkok Night Food Tour by Tuk Tuk

Bangkok

The Tuk Tuk ride was nice but the description of this event does not match what we did. It sounded like we would be getting small tastes all over the city and we went to one noodle restaurant and had one street vendor food and that's it. I asked about going to a roof top bar but was told that wasn't apart of it. I did get to go to a hidden bar which was cool but it was not included.

Explore the Koh Phi Phi By Speedboat

Phuket

We were picked up very early and then did not get on the speedboat until over 2 hours after we arrived and it was not clear that we would be sitting around. I would have liked to just stay at my resort and enjoy the amenities there. They then go into a sales pitch of all these things you can do but have to spend extra money on which was frustrating but they scare you into thinking that you have to but water shoes and hats and they only accept cash so that was also frustrating. It was a pretty rushed experience and crowded with all the other participants. I would have liked to do this privately.

Khao Sok National Park - Chiew Lan Lake

Khao Sok National Park

I think I was spoiled by the private activities and this was a larger group. It made it so we ended up in a not great spot in the boat. No one was good about sharing the space. I would have liked to be more private or been allowed shift around to see things on the boat. We got soaked sitting in the back. Food was a bit cold on the floating restaurant but tasty!

Living Green Elephant Sanctuary Experience - Full Day

Chiang Mai

This was a highlight of our trip. Really a wonderful small group experience. I did not know that there was an option to raft down the river which I would have liked the choice of doing. I did enjoy the medicine ball making activity though.

We could not have asked for a better person to work with to plan our honeymoon than Bella.
​Before the trip even started, she was incredibly patient as we described countless iterations of what we wanted to do, and she managed to accommodate all of our out-of-the-box requests for activities and hotels. She also provided invaluable insight into the scheduling of our proposed itineraries, ensuring we didn't plan ourselves into tight timelines that would leave little to no time for rest and relaxation.
​The outstanding level of service only continued once our trip began. When we arrived at our first hotel in Bangkok, there was a gift bag from Bella welcoming us to Thailand, which we found to be unbelievably thoughtful. Whenever we had questions about the itinerary or local customs, she would always reply via WhatsApp within minutes.
The tours and activities themselves were also top-notch. We ended our trip feeling that we came away with far more knowledge and context to all of the sights that we saw than we ever could have if we had planned things ourselves. Our tour guide in Bangkok, Leo, was especially knowledgeable and made us feel like we were truly receiving an immersive look into the Thai culture.
​We did experience a hiccup with one of our flights to Phuket, which was pushed back several hours without us or Kimkim being notified. Even though Bella had zero control over that, she still went out of her way to arrange accommodations for us during the newfound downtime and even helped reschedule the tour we ended up missing because of the delay. All of this required zero effort on our part. Truly great service.
​Throughout the entire trip, Bella was remarkably communicative. Between her and the Kimkim app, we felt so prepared that we could comfortably move from activity to activity without ever having to give a second thought to tickets or confirmations. All of the information we needed was conveniently located in a single place within the app.
​I would recommend Kimkim to anyone looking to plan a trip, and I would absolutely recommend Bella for anyone planning a trip to Thailand. My wife and I truly feel like we had the honeymoon of a lifetime.

My daughter and I recently used Kim Kim to help us plan our trip to Thailand. We spent two days in Bangkok and three days in Phuket. We also went to the Khao Sok National Park. At every step of the way, there was a representative that was there to let us know what to expect and help us get from one location to the next. We were allowed plenty of time to explore and do things on our own, but also booked several guided trips. We were helped at every step of the way to make the best of our trip. I could not be more satisfied.
