I am so happy we booked our Thailand trip with KimKim! From the start, Tina was amazing—patient, flexible, and always willing to answer our many questions and make changes until everything felt just right for us.
What truly made the trip special were the wonderful local guides and drivers. Bee, our driver in Bangkok, and Cherry, our tour guide, welcomed us with such kindness and genuine warmth—we felt comfortable the moment we met them. Our Phuket driver was just as friendly, and every...

I am so happy we booked our Thailand trip with KimKim! From the start, Tina was amazing—patient, flexible, and always willing to answer our many questions and make changes until everything felt just right for us.
What truly made the trip special were the wonderful local guides and drivers. Bee, our driver in Bangkok, and Cherry, our tour guide, welcomed us with such kindness and genuine warmth—we felt comfortable the moment we met them. Our Phuket driver was just as friendly, and every transfer was smooth and stress-free. It really felt like we were being cared for by friends.
We visited Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket during the busy holiday season, and every hotel exceeded our expectations. Each were the perfect location to experience the uniqueness of the region. The Sri Pawna in Phuket was spectacular!!! (FYI, the 2 room villa, second room is not connected to the villa which was odd). One of the most memorable experiences was our day at the Orchid Elephant Sanctuary in Chiang Mai, with our personal guide Tatoo.
This was a trip of a lifetime! Highly recommend KimKim to anyone planning a visit to Thailand!
Hotel Reviews
Sri Panwa Phuket Luxury Pool Villa Hotel
Phuket
Everything about this hotel, location, staff and room views simply spectacular. However, when we booked a two room villa we expected the 2nd room to be part of the villa which itself was AMAZING, it was a separate room with its own entrance on a lower level and lacked the same water view as the main suite.
Chala Number 6 Hotel
Chiang Mai
Excellent location, impeccable staff, breakfast and afternoon tea were great. Amazing how tranquil and quiet the pool area is when just outside the front of the hotel is the busy street with locals and tourist visiting the temples directly across the street.
Valia Hotel Bangkok
Bangkok
Great location without being in the heart of chaotic crowded areas but close enough to all. Spacious rooms, attentive staff and good food!

This was a dream trip for our family. This company put all my anxieties at ease with their attention to detail, communication, and thoughtfulness. Our drivers were amazing! They came in air conditioned vehicles, had our picture and got us to all our locations safely! The hotels were exactly what I asked for which was kid friendly in safe/tourist neighborhoods. We tailored the trip to our needs and the specialist had no problem providing options for us. Specifically we only wanted 1 day of...

This was a dream trip for our family. This company put all my anxieties at ease with their attention to detail, communication, and thoughtfulness. Our drivers were amazing! They came in air conditioned vehicles, had our picture and got us to all our locations safely! The hotels were exactly what I asked for which was kid friendly in safe/tourist neighborhoods. We tailored the trip to our needs and the specialist had no problem providing options for us. Specifically we only wanted 1 day of temples and the specialist suggested a cooking class for the next which was one of the highlights for our family! Deedee in Phuket was amazing! Entertaining, kind, and helped me when I was in a jam with the locals. I thought visiting Asia had too many hurdles for me to do with kids but the Kimkim specialists were the best! I would travel with them again in a heartbeat!
Hotel Review
Our favorite hotel by far! The family pool party was the best! My kids had a blast! We also enjoyed the room service! Food was delivered quickly and there were plenty of options for all! My kids loved having their own room and the kitchen was perfectly stocked with dishes and pans if you needed. Overall we loved this hotel!
Authenticity & Character
Lots of games available for the kids and people were very nice!
Location
Felt safe with lots of tourists and restaurants.

Driver was a great driver but more friendly than I was used to. Helping herself to some of our dinner, asking me to buy drinks, following us into our hotel room- it was a level of friendly I’m not accustomed to and found a bit intrusive. I did ask her to leave us to give us some space to which she complied.

Living Green Elephant Sanctuary Experience - Full Day
Chiang Mai
This experience was a dream come true! We couldn’t stop smiling! My kids will always remember how they wrestled an elephant for food!
Quality of Experience
Spending the whole day at the sanctuary gave us the time/space to enjoy all the things! We never felt rushed or pressured to move onto another task. We spent as much time doing the activities with the elephants as we wanted. The only activity we lasted longer then the elephants was the river- we stayed in much longer enjoying the cooler waters while they retreated to the forest to forage!
Food
We liked cooking lunch!
