How did you get involved in travel?

"My family often traveled, and my father, who loved history, would share fascinating stories about every place we visited. Those trips sparked my dream of working in tourism—I wanted to explore the world and learn its stories. As I grew older, , I decided to study tourism at National Economics University and learning English helped me connect with friends from different countries, and I realized how much I enjoy interacting with people. For me, tourism is more than just traveling; it’s about creating connections and sharing experiences. It’s the perfect path for me to follow my passions."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of my most memorable experiences was during my first year of university when I traveled to Da Nang with my younger sister. It was our first time planning a trip on our own, from booking accommodations to arranging activities, and it made the journey even more special. But I had a little mishap when we got lost on the way to Linh Ung Pagoda. Instead of feeling stressed, we ended up laughing it off and asking locals for directions, who were incredibly friendly and helpful. That detour turned into a fun adventure, and we even discovered a hidden café with the best coconut coffee! The trip wasn’t just about the destination; it was about the joy of independence, overcoming small challenges, and creating unforgettable memories with my sister"

This was my first time using Kimkim, and based on this experience, I would certainly use them in the future. I traveled alone and visited two cities in Thailand: Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Kimkim organized everything for me, including airport pickups, hotels, and local activities. In each city, the hotels were conveniently located and within walking distance of dining and shopping.

This was my first time using Kimkim, and based on this experience, I would certainly use them in the future. I traveled alone and visited two cities in Thailand: Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Kimkim organized everything for me, including airport pickups, hotels, and local activities. In each city, the hotels were conveniently located and within walking distance of dining and shopping. The primary local guides, Gifsty in Bangkok and Taew in Chiang Mai, were friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. The local tours used the time available efficiently and covered all the basics. Except for some minor miscommunication upon my first arrival, everything worked out perfectly.
