My time in Thailand was the best experience in all aspects! I don't believe there was any "specific" part of the trip that stood out as my favorite. I enjoyed every Temple, Market, Interaction with locals, Thailand Culture and the beautiful landscapes of Bangkok and Pattaya. Mae Klong Railway, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Mangrove Forest visit was a wonderous experience, as well as China Town and the various markets. Learning the history of the Temples and Thai culture was an exceptional experience and my guides were well versed with their presentations of all the sites that I visited. I enjoyed the food from the various vendors throughout Bangkok and Pattaya. Everyone that I came in contact with, from my guides (Ms P Leena and Mr P Golf, drivers Chen, Mr P Golf and Pumin J), locals, hotel staff and vendors, were very pleasant and always willing to assist to make my stay in Thailand spectacular! I experienced first hand why Thailand is called the "Land of Smiles" and how very true that statement is in every aspect!

The one thing that made my decision to go with KimKim Travel is their commitment to have a personal Travel advisor (Benjamin) located in Thailand. This was a big plus in my book to have someone available to answer questions, make changes or offer personal advice without a time delay. Ben's attention to detail and his listening skills made my visit to Thailand the best experience of my life! Great job to everyone and I thank you all!

I enjoyed every minute and every excursion that was set up with such a wonderful personal touch. I will remember this trip forever as the best trip of my life? Ben the guides and drivers were a pleasure to work with and Benjamin always made me feel at ease by making himself available at any time. I thank them all for their support and thoughtfulness in helping me experience this exceptional journey! I don't believe I could have experienced anything better without Benjamins commitment and execution to make it all come true with zero issues!

The hotel staff is great and they do a great job making the stay very comfortable. My only concern is the actual size of the room doesn't match what is shown on the hotel website. Smaller room than what the pictures show on the website and the view outside the balcony aren't as spectacular as you would think from the presentation of their website. The room is very clean and comfortable. I just wanted to share this observation.

Elena my trip advisor had everything planned perfectly from the private car pick ups to the sight seeing tours, cultural experiences, and island jumping to Phuket. I actually broke my foot in the airportdeplaning the airline that took us to Phuket and although I didn't get to attend everything Elena had planned for us in the itinerary I still enjoyed the ambiance, environment and atmosphere. Our tour guide Pom was fantastic, I love his people personality. He was very informative, taking us to some great temples and eatery places. This was definitely one of my favorite trips thanks to Elena and pom.
