Hoa was an amazing trip coordinator and specialist. Her attention to detail was superb and we appreciated her handling all the details quickly and efficiently. She checked with us each step of the way while on our trip to ensure all was well and when we had an issue in Borneo she managed it efficiently as well! We spent a month touring SE Asia and during that time, we were very satisfied with the itinerary, the activities and the included meals. Thank you, Hoa for a job well done ! Read more

We loved this hotel and were shocked that it was only rated as a 3 star. The setting was amazing - we felt like we were in the Alps! The room was well appointed and appeared to have been recently renovated- food was good as well!

Ho Chi Minh City

Seeing how people live along the River was wonderful. But the condition of the river was very sad. Water hyacinths clog the entire river suffocating fish life and making it nearly impossible for boat engines to, get through. Ho Chi Minh City is a beautiful city with nice restaurants and we enjoyed the hotel we stayed at. The value was good, but it was sad to see how people are forced to live along the River.

Our driver was great and the boat captain got through the delta…the long boat captains were also good. The river was so dilthy the further you went up river. Human waste, garbage, smells (ugh).

In Bangkok we had a guide, Annie, who did an amazing job of navigating the streets of Bangkok and taking the best pictures, ordering the best food and taking care to show us the temples, markets and culinary treats of the region.
In Krabi, we enjoyed the Following Giants Elephant Sanctuary, the guides were very knowledgeable and respectful about the care and treatment of the elephants.
Kayaking on the Khlong Nam was fantastic and we got an early start and had the place to ourselves before it got busy and we learned about pineapple farming as well as rubber and palm.
Phi Phi islands was also impressive, beautiful beaches and tasy lunch, guides were great.

We went early, pick up around 7am and they gave us a delicious breakfast and we got on the water before anyone else was there. The water is so clear you can see the fish swimming. We had a guide and another person who took pictures for us and we were able to swim. Afterwards we saw the pineapple farm and also learned about rubber harvesting and palm oil.

Kimkim and especially our travel agent Kien, made our trip to Thailand absolutely unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly planned—our excursions, transfers, resorts, and especially our wedding were beyond anything we could have imagined.

What truly stood out was how closely he listened to every detail of what we wanted. We shared that we were looking for adventure and not a typical tourist experience—we wanted to truly experience the beauty and culture of Thailand—and he absolutely nailed it. Every part of our itinerary felt authentic and intentional, and we loved being able to explore so many different areas, each with its own unique charm.

Every detail was handled with care, which allowed us to completely relax and enjoy every moment. Our wedding was simply magical, and we are so grateful for the thought and effort that went into making it so special. Thank you so much for truly making our wedding and honeymoon perfect.

Hotel Review
Paradise Koh Yao Resort

The resort was the prefect location for our wedding. Bee did an amazing job planning our special day and making sure every detail was perfect. She did an amazing job!! Nis, our fishing guide, went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing day on the water and we absolutely did. Overall, the resort was the perfect way to end our vacation. Very relaxing, quiet and pretty much perfect.

Hi Kristin,

Thank you so much for your beautiful review, and for sharing all those photos, they are absolutely gorgeous 😊 It was so special to see those moments come to life.

I’m truly happy to hear that the trip and your wedding turned out just as you had hoped. From the very beginning, I could feel how important it was for you both to have something meaningful and not just a typical experience, so it means a lot to know it all came together that way.

Your wedding at Paradise Koh Yao Noi looked incredible, and I’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Bee and Nis. They’ll be so happy to hear this.

Thank you again for trusting me with such an important journey. It was really a pleasure to plan this with you.

Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together, and hopefully another adventure in the future!

Warmly,
Kien
