Thailand Travel Agents

I've used KimKim twice now and they are excellent. Bella created a fantastic itinerary with the perfect blend of relaxation, local experiences and sightseeing. She was truly great to work with and very supportive. All of our guides were prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. My husband and I had an amazing time from start to finish. I will be using KimKim again for my next vacation. Five stars all around.

We can't share enough compliments about the amazing experience we had with Kimkim travel and our specialist, Elena. We decided to visit Thailand for our 25th anniversary at the end of October. We had never been before, so we weren't sure what activities to do. Elena made it so easy, providing tons of great options. She arranged everything (air and ground transportation in country, gorgeous hotels, tickets, guides) -- we just needed to show up, and the rest was handled. She was so patient and helpful as we finalized our plans, communicating with us regularly and checking in during our trip.

All of our guides and transportation were outstanding! We absolutely adored our guide, Khun Ae, in Bangkok. She was with us for three days, and she showed us so many wonderful sites. She shared history and stories, and bought us little gifts and food that we would never think of trying. Wherever we went, tables magically became available for us. She knew the best spots for photos and the best menu items. She was tireless and so proud of her country. We are incredibly grateful to her for sharing her enthusiasm with us. My husband and I agreed it was the best trip we ever took, and we've taken many.

In Phuket, we went on John Gray's Ocean Canoe trip, and our guide, Wooddy was the absolute best! He went out of his way to show us all of the beautiful sites, taking photos of us, and helping us to create the most gorgeous Loy Krathong (a floating flower arrangement). We also had an amazing guide on our private longtail boat tour named Nut. He was so accommodating, making sure we were comfortable and setting out a wonderful beach picnic for us. It was such a special experience.

We expect to use Kimkim again for our next international trip -- we highly recommend them!

Hotel Reviews

Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel

Bangkok

The Avani+ Riverside in Bangkok was a great location for those seeking a quieter experience in Bangkok (like us). It was right on the river and provided a free water taxi to three different stops close to Iconsiam Mall and public transportation. The room was comfortable -- we especially enjoyed the breakfast buffet, with just about any food you could want.

Authenticity & Character

No improvements needed -- it was a modern hotel.

Love that it had a free water taxi to explore and take public transportation to other areas of Bangkok.

Phuket Elephant Sanctuary Morning Visit (Joining Activity)

Definitely one of our favorite experiences of our trip! I loved that the elephants were able to live at this sanctuary undisturbed. These gentle creatures were rescued from tourist shows where they were sick or injured. We were able to feed them and learn all about their behavior.

Thanks, Bella! My trip was unforgettable, especially as a solo female traveler. I sincerely appreciate your efforts to make me feel safe, which allowed me to enjoy and create memories that will last forever. The calmness of Koh Samet's quiet, clean, and stunning beaches, the breathtaking temples in Bangkok, and the elephant sanctuary all left a lasting impression.

Bella was very nice, easy to communicate with, and she always made herself available for questions before and throughout our trip. If we had any issues or miscommunication with the hotel or guide, she was on top of it! We were so lucky to find her for to help plan our adventure ❤️. Our guides were also great, Nina was very fluent in English so that made everything go smoothly. She kept us on schedule and was very knowledgeable about the city and history. Ben was our final guide for the last day and she was very sweet. She made sure that we made enjoyed the short time we had for our last tour in Phuket. I would definitely us this company again and recommend to everyone.
