We had an amazing experience with the whole entire trip/tour. The experience from the driver, the places and things we have done. The elephant sanctuary was something I truly enjoyed, feeding & bathing this huge gently giants. We truly were amazed on how huge the Buddhist temples and their status. The one in Bangkok (WOW!!!)
The foods were all so delicious. My daughter got hooked with the Mango sticky rice while my Son enjoyed all of the food. I loved my Iced Tai Tea - refreshing
Bella was amazing to work with she heard all of our questions & feedback.
Thank you very much!!!

Overall, the trip was truly amazing, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful details and extra touches along the way. The fast-track airport service was fantastic, and we were very impressed with the quality of the hotels throughout the trip. It was clear that a lot of care went into the planning, and our family came home with so many wonderful memories.

A few suggestions for future trips: the Bangkok food tour was a little challenging with such a large group. We would have enjoyed smaller, more local venues rather than Chinatown, which was difficult to navigate with a group of our size.

The Shangri-La Chiang Mai was a wonderful choice for families, and the kids really enjoyed the hotel. However, I would probably recommend dining outside the hotel, as some of the best food we had on the entire trip was at the local restaurants in Chiang Mai. Exploring the local dining scene was definitely one of our highlights. We loved the Melia Koh Samui and the highlight was the speed boat tour and lunch on the beach.

Since we booked so far in advance, we had also hoped our rooms could have been located closer together. With a large family group, having rooms near one another would have made things a little easier.

These are relatively small suggestions in the context of what was truly a fantastic trip. We are so grateful for all the planning, attention to detail, and special touches that went into it. It was an incredibly memorable experience for our entire family, and we really appreciate everything you did to make it so special.

Bella did an amazing job setting things up for us and adjusting to our needs. Our diver from the airport, for a tour of the island, and delivery back to the airport as well as the other drivers, tour guides from Mr. Tu's and the Elephant Sanctuary were exceptional. Mr. Tu's team was especially thoughtful, ensuring everyone stayed hydrated and safe. The team from the Elephant Sanctuary were very courteous and took pictures as needed so those on the adventure could enjoy it to the fullest, even if it felt a little rushed.

Hotel Review

Samui Buri

Check-in and check-out was a breeze and the staff was extremely helpful. The atmosphere of the hotel was quiet and peaceful for a beachside resort, which made the experience more relaxing than the hotels I have stayed at in the past.

Authenticity & Character

It was quiet and peaceful for a resort. The style of the hotel was open air with the rooms being spacious and air conditioned without feeling out of character.

Location

The location is great. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, though it is a bit out of the way and pretty far from the touristy area, so transportation is needed unless you enjoy long walks on the side of the road.

Staff

We didn't interact with most of the staff other than at meals, but the ones we encountered were courteous and motivated to help in whatever manner they could.

Cleanliness & Comfort

As stated above, the room was spacious. It was also very clean and the AC made it a comfortable place to relax after a long day.

Angthong Marine Park Tour by Speedboat from Koh Samui

Thailand

This was a great start to snorkeling. There wasn't much to see and the time we got to snorkel was short, but it gave my wife and I the ability to learn how snorkeling is done before we missed out on future snorkeling experiences. The kayaking was great. The hiking was good, but we came to learn that Thailand doesn't really know the difference between ladders and stairs 😂

Koh Tao day trip from Koh Samui by speedboat

Thailand

The snorkeling on this tour was great, with a good amount of reefs and fish to see. Don't expect Great Barrier Reef quality, but it was great to finally see some fish after our first day not seeing anything. The Japanese Garden was a little disappointing, but did not take away from the experience as a whole.

This was a great experience, though it felt a little rushed. Most of the activities were shorter than I thought they would be, though we did do everything I thought we would other than a tour of the sanctuary itself.

We really enjoyed seeing three distinct parts of Thailand, Bangokok, Koh Sumai, and Chang Mai. Leena, our guide in Bangkok, was great and listened to our feedback. We didn't have a guide in Koh Sumai. Our guide in Chaing Mai, Lilly, was also wonderful and provided a lot of interesting information about the areas we visited. If I had to change anything about the intinerary, I would trade one day in Koh Sumai for another day in Chaing Mai. The accomodations we stayed at thoughout the trip were very comfortable and nice quality. It was a good mixture of a guided and self-led vacation.

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!

At Pingnakorn Riverside Hotel

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.

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!

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.

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.
