As a solo traveler, I was a bit nervous about traveling to Thailand with all the transfers, not to mention that I had very little idea of what to do or see. Bella was outstanding. She was understanding, knowledgeable and extremely responsive at all times. On the ground, she checked in almost daily, sending reminders and confirming details. She put together an amazing itinerary including the Grand Palace in Bangkok, the elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai and the John Gray Sea Canoes in Phuket. This was a an experience of a lifetime and I cannot recommend Bella and Kimkim more highly.

One more thing—The pricing was very reasonable and, when I overpaid, Bella found the error and refunded the difference. I would have never known.

Hotel Reviews
Namaka Resort Kamala
Phuket

The hotel is very tired. Apparently, there are renovated rooms, but I didn’t have one. The breakfast buffet was good enough. The restaurant was very basic, though I did have a good green curry there. The Kamala area, where the hotel is located, is about an hour from the Old Town and it was difficult to get a Grab to pick me up. A taxi would have cost about 700 baht each way. In truth, the hotel was fine, so let’s no as you don’t expect 4.5/5 stars as it is currently rated.
