Bella Saung

Travel has always been my true passion! With years of experience in FIT, GIT, and MICE since 2006, I specialize in creating tailor-made journeys that reflect each traveler’s unique dreams and interests. I'm fluent in English, French, Chinese, and my native Burmese, which allows me to connect deeply with travelers from around the world and share the richness of local culture in a meaningful way.

For me, every trip is an opportunity to create something meaningful—memories that last, moments that matter, and stories worth sharing. I’m dedicated to crafting travel experiences that are personal, enriching, and truly unforgettable.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"In Thailand, I specialize in designing tailor-made itineraries that highlight safe, authentic destinations where travelers can truly immerse themselves in the country’s rich culture. I focus on creating meaningful experiences that go beyond the typical tourist path.

Whether you seek a romantic honeymoon on the stunning islands of Krabi, Phuket, and Samui, or wish to explore the historic charms of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Sukhothai, I craft personalized programs to suit your interests. For adventure lovers, northern Thailand offers unique community-based tourism and exciting outdoor activities, including biking and sports tours. And for food enthusiasts, Thailand’s world-renowned cuisine guarantees an unforgettable culinary journey.
"

How did you get involved in travel?

"My journey into travel began long before the year 2000, growing up in a small town in Kayin State, Burma—where I had never seen an airplane or a foreign visitor. From a young age, I was fascinated by the world beyond my hometown and eager to explore different cultures.

After graduating, I started my career as a travel agent, viewing tourism as a gateway to the world and a way to share knowledge. Over the years, I gained valuable experience working with the French market while learning French, and later with multinational agencies managing global and MICE markets. Today, as a local travel specialist based in Thailand, I’m proud to craft unique, tailor-made journeys for travelers to deliver the best of Thailand. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of the most unforgettable experiences in my travel career was managing a complex MICE trip with a private charter flight and a tightly packed itinerary. It was my first time handling such detailed logistics, from coordinating with local partners to ensuring every moment—from hotel check-ins to special celebrations—was flawless.

Despite the pressure and long hours, what stayed with me most was the joy on my clients’ faces. Seeing their smiles and knowing I helped create lasting memories made every challenge worthwhile. That experience taught me the true meaning of dedication and sparked my passion for crafting seamless, meaningful journeys.

I want to share these unique travel experiences with every traveler—not just to visit new destinations, but to truly feel the culture, enjoy the moments, and bring beautiful memories that last a lifetime."

I chose Kimkim randomly when I decided to travel to Thailand and could not be more pleased.

Bella helped me plan a trip based on my interests which included pickup from my arrival through ten days of robust activities and to my departure.

My driver Chin was fabulous from the first pickup. My guide Leena met me at the hotel where we embarked on a public transportation tour of Bangkok. It was a wonder way to get the local pulse. Two sky trains an express boat all added to my wonder. Her knowledge of the history and culture was impressive. I experienced Wat Arun and learned about its design and how broken teacups from China were used in the design. We visited the Emerald Buddha, The Reclining Buddha, and the Main Palace. All with rich detail from Leena. Explored Chinatown had a meal and took the subway back to my hotel.
The next day She and Chin took me to the Railroad and Floating Market pointing out the sea salt fields along the way. She even helped me resolve an exchange problem.
Chin brought be to the airport to Chaing Mai where I met Lilly my guide and Text the driver. Lily showed me the city and temples much different than Bangkok and stayed with me throughout my engrossing Elephant experience and lunch. Lilly also traveled with me to the airport to be sure all went well

The next elements of my trip were equally well coordinated. From Chiang Mai I was met by a driver in Samui who took me my boat to Koh Tao and helped me check in. I was met in Koh Tao by a driver who brought me to an extraordinary Beach resort hotel My beautiful room was 75 feet from the shore.
There I was picked up for an outstanding snorkeling trip with a side mountain hike. Tons of fish and giant sea turtles

At my next trip was well coordinated with drivers taking me to boat and airport where I was met in Phuket by my guide Ben with driver She gave a wonderful tour of Phuket. Viewing from high above the area and exploring Chinatown and old Portuguese building. My trip culminated with a visually stunning and exhilarating speed boat tour of the iconic James Bond islands and boat ride into a cave and a canoeing adventure under and through huge monolithic rocks rising from the sea.
Once again picked at airport and Chin in Bangkok who brought me to my departure flight.

This the adventure of a lifetime artistically organized and executed by Bella who I hold in great esteem.

If you thinking of travel to Thailand or elsewhere in Asia , save your money and call Bella at Kimkim.

Bella was fantastic! She was very responsive and easy to work with. We also appreciated that she noticed things like a 5-hour gap between our hotel checkout time and when we needed to be at the airport, and she booked a car and driver to fill that time with a tour. Read more
