Kimkim Trip Reviews for Thailand

A visit to Mae Klong Railway market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market!

Bangkok

We visited the Mae Klong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market on our trip to Thailand. While it was an interesting experience, we felt that the travel time was quite long in comparison to the actual time spent at the market. The markets were unique, but the whole activity felt brief and a bit anticlimactic after such a long journey. I would suggest adding more activities in the proximity to make the travel worth it.

One Day Trek Sanpatong (Mae Win Area)

Chiang Mai

Our 'One Day Trek Sanpatong (Mae Win Area)' experience started with an unexpected stop at an elephant place which did not meet our expectations as a sanctuary. There were three elephants that appeared sad and confined. We had expected a more ethical experience where we could interact with elephants in a natural environment. The hike that followed felt random and lacked a clear purpose, while the bamboo rafting was fun and well-received by the kids. Overall, the day was mixed, with more disappointments than highlights.

Temple and Hill tribes in Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai

Our visit to the Temple and Hill Tribes in Chiang Mai was confusing and left us puzzled. The journey was long and windy, and once we arrived, there was little explanation from our guide as he did not speak much English. We didn't feel informed about the purpose of our visit or the significance of the tribes. It felt intrusive to walk around with kids who were just playing. The coffee was the highlight, but overall, the trip felt like a waste of time without proper context and information.

From beginning to end our travel experience was incredible thanks to Hoa and our guides and drivers in Thailand. From our arrival in Chiang Mai to dropping off our son at Semester at Sea at the end of our trip in Bangkok every detail was accounted for and every accommodation made for our unique circumstance. We encountered delays at the beginning of our trip because of weather in San Francisco forcing us to miss our connection and delaying our arrival in Thailand one full day. Within hours of receiving our news, Hoa had rearranged our itinerary to ensure we missed not a single moment we had planned, including changing our in country flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. I just cannot overstate the level of detail and consideration that was put into our travel plan by Hoa and the team. Ying, our guide in Chiang Mai, was knowledgeable and just such a joy to spend time with. It was fun getting to know her city, her cultural and even her personally. Each hotel in Chiang Mai, Krabi, Bangkok and Kanchanaburi captured the vibe of the place we were in and added to our overall experience. Hoa really heard us when we expressed our interests and values and aligned our itinerary perfectly. Our guide in Bangkok, Toto, was so much fun! He just has this infectious energy that added great vibes to our overall experience. When my daughter and I started to plan this trip we tried to do it on our own but became quickly overwhelmed. Finding KimKim and working with Hoa were the key to an incredible experience we will never forget!

Overall the trip was great. We had a ton of help from Ashley and she was very responsive during the trip when we wanted to change some plans or had questions. The places to stay she helped us choose were lovely. The private rides she set up for us were very timely. My only complaint is a couple of the guided trips were not what we expected. We did an all day private Phi Phi Island trip, our guide took us to 3 Islands and did a stop at another Island. The guide was pleasant as was the crew but the places we went (except for the snorkeling) were incredibly crowded. I understand the time of year is very busy but I hoped with a private trip we would have been offered options to go somewhere away from the crowds since we didn't have specific places we wanted to see. Our Bangkok food tour was similar. We went to China town which was incredibly crowded. Again our guide was great and found us excellent food but it was so busy there were few places to sit and we could barely walk through the crowds. As it was also a private trip, we would have been happy to be told that the usual places were very busy and been given the option to go somewhere less popular. In general we were happy but, when paying extra for private excursions, we would have appreciated more flexibility and been happy to not join the biggest possible crowds in order to go the most popular places. We didn't love Ao Nang, it was pretty but super busy with people, loud music and clubs, we wished we'd stayed at Railay Bay instead. We really loved the quiet of the jungle and lake stay at Khao Sok as well as the hiking in Chiang Mai to visit the Karin people's village. We bought the most beautiful handmade scarves there for souvenirs. Our favorite meal was the one we cooked at Ya's cooking school out of Krabi!

The local lead guides in each location were amazing. They took lead in everything from the moment we arrived and recommended additional things to do, restaurants and went out of their way to be readily available for any questions we had. The best was when each of them walked us into the airport for our transfer flights and helped us navigate through the check in process, which saved us a lot of messy chaos and lost time.

The itinerary was perfect and the transportation between locations was perfect and the communication with Elena from Kim Kim was excellent!!!

We will definitely return to Kim Kim on our future travels

Our hotel (Hotel Santhiya) was amazing….. yoga teacher was amazing and the staff was so friendly. Jean did a wonderful job listening to our wish list and then implementing a schedule. We were away over New Years and did not see another American family while on this portion of our stay in Thailand. Our resort had wonderful amenities but was relatively small in comparison and not touristy in feel. It was incredible. Our day excursions with Mr Ya were also fabulous and off the beaten path. We got a special look into Thai island life and all the residents were so kind and welcoming. Jeab planned a perfect 4 night end to our time in Thailand. Thank you!

Mr Ya was an awesome guide. Everyone in the small village worked so hard to make our when looking at the schedule initially I didn’t realize we’d be starting our days at the same launching point. A suggestion would have been to limit day one to an afternoon of mangrove kayaking followed by the sunset and dinner. The next day we could have had an early start, visited the James Bond island, swum off a small island beach then had lunch at the village (rather than two lunches there). After spending time on the small non touristy island we would have preferred to skip the touristy island (with the floating soccer field) altogether. Just food for thought.

Tina was great and responsive throughout our trip. The cars, the boats, the planes and all liaison people were always on time and met us as arranged in a really helpful manner. As a result, we had a lovely and hassle free time for which many thanks to Tina who was always adaptable and responsive to our needs.

Overall, we thought we could have spent less time at airports and making plane connections especially with local flights within Thailand.

The island choice of Koh Yao Noi proved to be a secluded, quiet and luxurious bubble with some pricy activities provided by the luxurious resort (we stayed in the appropriately named Paradise Resort) . The local village was only accessible by car and wasn’t much of an attraction.

We chose the hotels (The Tamarind Village in Chiang Mai and Ariyasom Villas in Bangkok) both of which were great, with lush gardens.
Tina helpfully made some of these hotel bookings on our behalf.

We had incredible guides who absolutely made this trip, but the two we had the longest really stand out - Naa, and then Nui. Their English was excellent and they were more than willing to share experiences and answer questions. They took us places that we never would have found on our own. Not only were they lovely people but they were very knowledgeable about the history and architecture - two of our favourite topics!
The planning with George, the many phones calls and emails, meant we had a trip really tailored to our interests. The fact that Kim Kim asked questions and had us fill out a survey helped me zero in on what we wanted. Plus I had done a ton of research. Once he found out what our interests were, George made additional suggestions for places we hadn’t thought of that ended up being standouts - Kanchanaburi and Erawan Falls, the cooking class in Chiang Mai, the food tour in Bangkok, the hike in Op Luong National Park, the canal tour in Bangkok and the dinner reservations at B Samcook in Chiang Mai (possibly the best meal we have ever had!) and the dinner cruise in Bangkok.
Honestly, there was not one single experience that we had on this trip where we were even remotely disappointed or felt let down. We ended every day saying ‘wow what an incredible day’. I’ve travelled enough to know how unusual that is!

Morning Kanchanaburi War Cemetery - A Dip into History...

Kanchanaburi

I didn’t know very much about Kanchanaburi, the Death Railway or its history, but I am so incredibly glad that this got included. This was a suggestion by George, our Kim Kim Thailand expert. It was a fascinating dive into a part of WW2 history and was also incredibly moving. The cemetery and the museum were very well organized and explained a lot about the events. And then to board the train and actually travel a section of the railway - was incredible! And this is not a tourist train - this is a real train with wooden seats and so much character that travels part of the same route as the Death Railway. At one point, because of a bend, you can actually see one of the trestle railway bridges that had been originally built by the prisoners.

And riding bicycles around was brilliant! Allowed us to go at our own pace and stop wherever we wanted.

Mama noi Thai Cookery School

Chiang Mai

Such a great day!!! The staff was incredible - funny, entertaining and taught us a lot about Thai food! And it was all delicious!

The overall experience was very nice and allowed me to enjoy the trip rather than worry about the logistics. Bella and team were also very responsive whenever any questions arose. With that said, planning a trip online is convenient but also somewhat limits your interaction with the advisor and makes it a bit difficult to learn about all your options. For example, our room in Bangkok was so tiny that we could not fit our luggage. Loved the hotel and location but my bad for not confirming the room size in more detail. In general, most tours and providers used were great but unfortunately we did not enjoy our food tour in Bangkok as an example. Our guide was lovely but it felt more like a friend or a chaperone taking us to dinner at the market, not a curated experience. This will happen since you are booking with KimKim and do not know who your providers will be and can’t research them in advance. In the end, I ended up booking another food tour with a food tour company which was absolutely amazing. But all in all it’s a great way to plan a trip quickly and travel efficiently especially if you don’t have much time in a country you are visiting.

We had a very enjoyable trip. The cars provided were very spacious and comfortable and the drivers polite and efficient. W ewere met where we needed to be, except on the 21st December at Bangkok airport where we were told to meet at gate 11 ony to find there was no gate 11. It was by chance that we met our contact in the middle of the airport.

Generally the amount of time allocated to get to airports was too generous and resulted in rather a lot of waiting. For example, the drive from our hotel to Chaiang Mai airport took 20 minutes, not the 2 hours allocated. The drive from Aryasom Villas to Bangkok airport took 50 minutes but we were scheduled an 830 pick up for a 1240 flight. Of course extra time has to allowed for possible problems, but thiswas too long.
Apart from that, everything went very well. We were really pleased Tina was able to cancel the flights from Phuket to Chian g Mai and arrange for a cash refund.

Our guide in Thailand, Mal-ed, was excellent in all aspects of his work. He was thorough in his explanation of history, culture, religion, sites, events, and even understood the nuanced nature of a U.S. sense of humor. On days we had that were not heavily packed with activity, he provided a list of suggestions for things we could see or do including places to eat.

Chosing Kimkim was a leap of faith for us. It was our first time using a travel agent. It turned out to be a good decision. Kimkim put us in contact with Minah from Prestigo Asia. Minah's initial proposal was almost ideal. She proposed some destinations that we didn't know about that we decided to include in our itinerary, like Khao Sok National Park and Koh Yao Noi. After giving our feedback we ended up with a great plan.

Once the trip started we were very happy with the hotel selections and the organisation of the guides and transport connections. We were also very happy with the contact number that we could call any time in case of issues. We used it once for a minor issue which was reolved immediately.

We are very happy with Minah's service. We had a great trip and additionally it was good value for money.
Thanks Minah !

Traditional Thai Cooking Class with Market or Herb Garden Tour!

Bangkok

The Traditional Thai Cooking Class was a fantastic experience. We thoroughly enjoyed learning to cook local dishes, and it was a delightful addition to our trip.

Our trip to Thailand was amazing! Kien did a great job of planning really interesting tours and fantastic hotels. He responded very quickly and took care of all our questions and concerns. I will absolutely use Kimkim again for our next trips. I could not have planned a better trip- perfect blend of activities and relaxation.

Can you do it by yourself? Maybe, but if you work with kimkim, you KNOW they'll get it right.

This was my second assisted trip. I didn't have the time to plan my own itinerary, and having gotten myself to the other side of the world, I knew I didn't want to mess around bumbling around and going to beaches that weren't the right vibe. Bella put together the perfect itinerary for me, combining some excursions for snorkeling, rock climbing and sea kayaking with some planned downtime. Without Bella, I never would have known about Koh Yao Noi as a possibility. She was able to troubleshoot minor issues as they arose during the trip and was always there to make sure I got to my next stop safely.

I consider myself a fairly competent and confident traveler and still, it was really comforting to know that Bella was there to backstop me if I needed help with last minute arrangements (like when my solo climbing excursion turned into a two- then three-person outing) and that the people they're connected with are reliable and reputable. As a solo woman traveler, it was reassuring to know that I wouldn't end up with some untried guide.

Everything was so easy. All of my transportation was arranged. Every guide I met in each location was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to help me get plenty of pictures on our tours. When I ran into a flight delay due to weather, Bella immediately helped rearrange my ground transportation and room accommodations and really helped turn it all into a minor inconvenience rather than a major travel setback. The location choices and excursions were thoughtful. I had a wonderful trip and it couldn't have been easier to arrange all of it.

Our trip was amazing, kimKim planned everything down to our Airport shuttles. Tour guides were great and knowledgeable.

From November 27-December 13th my wife and I had an amazing experience touring Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi and many of the islands. I would have to say to have such a well planned trip, it first goes in the preparation. Tina was incredible, from helping us plan our trip, making sure our transportation was secure, setting us up with a very knowledgeable tour guide while we were in Bangkok, that taught us about the history and culture, and took pictures and videos of our trip as well. Tine gave us suggestions for different activities outside our excursions, and most importantly, being available during our stay. Anytime we had a question, she made time for us as if we were her only customers. If you are planning a trip, definitely reach out to Tina.

I have never used an agency like this to plan a vacation before and I was a little skeptical. I take it all back now. Minah helped me plan the perfect 11 day trip across Thailand doing all of the things that were important to us. She handled domestic flights, hotels, transportation, and all of the excursions I dreamed of seeing. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! It was perfect!

This Thailand trip was truly an excellent experience. Everything from the culture to the food was amazing. Our first tour guide Betty did a great job showing us the Mosque and China Town. We enjoyed him so much and he was very informative. I liked how well Kim Kim put the trip together also. We always felt like VIPs because of the private guides and shuttles, even the signage at the airport upon arrival was nice. We made a stop by Perfect Tailor and I would like to personally thank SK for the experience. Everything was perfect and I’m so happy we booked with Kim Kim! I will definitely book another international trip with Kim Kim after this.

This was an amazing trip especially for only being there one week. All of the guides were great! Wish I had more time.
