Bella Saung

We came in at the last minute with a week before our flights to Thailand looking for trip options (was a last minute vacation!) and Bella promptly went back and forth with us several times at odd hours of her day on the other side of the world, quickly helping us land on a great trip for us, including having to very very carefully play tetris with shifting availability days/times as we booked so close to the days of the events.

Everything was meticulously organized -- drivers and guides for every segment, with her WhatsApping us contact info beforehand and quickly changing drivers when we had a delay during one event to make sure we were continually cared for. The guides she picked for us were very interested in going out of their way to customize the experience to our trip desires, flipping up destinations midday if they had more interesting sounding ideas after they got to know us, adding side trips, etc.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and especially with such wildly limited notice our expectations were very exceeded.

Welcome to Bangkok! A short visit to Wat Saket Temple

This was a perfect arrival activity for when we were a a bit jet lagged. The temple was pretty and had a good view. Our guide taught us some basics about Bhuddism.

Food Tour by Tuk-tuk in Bangkok!

Bangkok

We followed our Guide's recommendations all evening and tried things that we would never have otherwise known to order. The food was delicious and we particularly loved the latter stops on the tour that were more market/street food like.

Quality of Experience

The one thing we would change would be the first stop that we did - it was inside a food court. We'd recommend sticking to the more open street market locations!

Half-Day Doi Suthep Temple Tour

Once again, this was a perfect activity to do on a travel day. Our guide was extremely informative and we learned a lot of new things despite already having been to several temples. The views from the temple were really stunning and the overall ambiance was really lovely.

True Taste of Chiang Mai with Evening Foodie Tour

Chiang Mai Cooking Class Experience

Chiang Mai

This was absolutely a highlight of our trip. Our chef instructor was incredible and gave us way more than just recipes, but instead a set of guidelines for how to be creative with Thai cooking. She also helped provide tips about how to get ingredients back home. It was really fun to go around the market with her before we headed to the cookery. Everything we cooked was delicious, but I am also going home looking forward to being able to re-create what we made.

Quality of Experience

Loved having the private experience - we were really able to ask questions specific to how I cook at home and I really feel that I'm going home with practical knowledge.

Ayutthaya’s Ancient Wonders & Local Flavors

Thailand

The scale of the ruins was grandiose, but the lack of our (humanity's, not us the tourists) knowledge about the history of the site means that it's mostly just a bunch of ruins with very limited context to walk around. We tend to be looking to combine historical context with tours, so this one was a bit disappointing compared to our other activities on this vacation. The food stop itself was good for river prawn fans, but outside of the local river prawns, nothing special.

Elephant Jungle Expedition at Chai Lai Orchid Ecolodge!

Chiang Mai

It was a fun experience petting and feeding the elephants in a couple different spots, but the rest of the "whole day" experience was some odd random activities that were mildly entertaining (bamboo raft ride, walkaround the hill tribe village without much explanation, etc.) but would have been better spent doing other things.

Chiang Dao Cave & Art Village Baan Kang Wat Visit

Chiang Mai

Quite a long drive for an okay-ish cave. We ended up doing a different crafting village/fair another day instead of the Baan Kang Wat one, so this review is only for the cave. Most of the cave is unlit (the guide used a propane lantern and flashlight), and significant portions have been permanently closed off for safety after floods the last few years. Still pretty and interesting, but not very long and middling as limestone caves go.

Chiang Rai in a day!

Absolute must-do experience. The white and blue temples are unbelievably pretty and interesting. The grounds of the white temple can be explored for hours. The art by the designer of the white temple is also very interesting and he was prolific. Long drive but completely worth it.

Aloha,

Bella and the entire team was so amazing and wonderful to work with and experience Thailand for the first time was truly a dream.

Bella was quite professional, very customer oriented and truly awesome to work with.

Bella was able to work with our needs and budget and made several thoughtful plans for us to choose and whatever questions we asked, she answered it quickly. Bella was very informative and made sure that we were taken care of each part of the trip from beginning to end.

The Bangkok Team: Our guide and driver, Anita and Shin, both were super awesome as well. Both were friendly, smiling all the time and just happy. That set the tone everyday. Anita shared the cultural, historical and personality everywhere we went. We loved the temples, sights, and food experiences. The temples were truly magical and wondrous. Chinatown, Floating Market, the Railroad market and all of the other sites we’ve seen was remarkable and “you have to be there to see and experience it.”

The Chiang Mai Team: Our guide, Cookie and driver were wonderful too. Cookie shared special stories with each place we visited and as we visited different temples and attractions, people knew of her and respected her. We felt very special to be in her presence.

If you ever want to go on a trip, please contact KimKim and you won’t regret it. We’ve bumped into several people who used other services and they did not get the services that we experienced.

We loved the fact that we were taken care of from arrival to departure, from hotel to attractions, food and sights made our Thailand trip filled with cherished memories, new found friends and a lifetime of experiences.

Bella and team, we loved it and we will be back.

Me ke aloha,
Jessica & Scott

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.

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.

Our trip was truly wonderful and unforgettable! Everything was perfectly arranged, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

A big thank you to Nina, who was so helpful and thoughtful in coordinating the entire tour. She made sure that all our activities were well organized and that we could do everything we wanted within our limited time. Her attention to detail and care made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.

Lily was an amazing guide — she took us through all the vibrant local markets and even brought us to the best coffee shop in the area. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made every stop special, and we really appreciated how she showed us the local gems that we might have otherwise missed.

And special thanks to Ben, who did her absolute best in Phuket. Even though the tour was only two hours long, she managed to take us everywhere we needed to go. Thanks to her, we were able to visit all the right places and get most of the gifts we wanted to bring home.

Overall, it was an incredible experience filled with great people, beautiful places, and thoughtful touches. Highly recommended for anyone visiting — truly a memorable and well-coordinated tour!

Our trip was absolutely incredible, thanks to Bella, our wonderful tour specialist! She did a truly outstanding job planning and organizing everything to perfectly match our preferences.

Thanks so much to Bella for taking care of every detail of our trip. First time to Thailand so it was nice to have someone holding our hand through the whole thing. Bella and everyone she worked with went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. Would recommend her to and KimKim to anyone heading to Thailand...especially if its your first time there.

Our family trip to Thailand was amazing. Bella our travel agent was very responsive to calls/emails/text and her recommendation fit our family. We had a couple tour guide and they were all good, But we had Anita( A) in Banghok and she was wonderful, she was knowledgeable, informative. She had my family try a lot of good food and we enjoyed our times with her.

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

Bangkok

My favorite activity of the trip was definitely the visit to the Mae Klong Railway market. It was such a unique experience watching the train come through the market. Everything was incredibly exciting and memorable. My family had a wonderful time and it truly was a trip of a lifetime for everyone.

Me and my family had an amazing time. My favorite person during our trip was Mrs. Anita. She did an amazing job showing us around. It was like she was visiting Thailand as well but knew about Thailand already. Our stay was amazing. Overall it was the best experience ever.
