I had a fantastic trip to Thailand, which mostly was focused on beaches and relaxation. Thailand is just a perfect destination for it. At the same time, it was cool to be on a traveler's side, since I am a kimkim staff, and manage the Asian region. So my feedback is based not just on the impressions and experiences, but also on the knowledge about how tours should be conducted. We had just one private sightseeing tour in Bangkok included in the itinerary and our tour guide Lina was awesome! She is so passionate about what she does, she is knowledgeable and attentive to details.
We also had all transfers included, and the minivans provided for transfers were spacious, comfortable and had great air conditioning ( which is super important in Thailand), drivers provided us with cold water all the time. We had another speedboat "join-in" tour included in our itinerary, which I highly recommend. There were options and we were recommended a sunrise tour. It was fantastic to see the famous beach from Leo DiCaprio's movie "The Beach" without people since attending a sunrise tour allows you to enter the Island before all the crowds.
Also, I'd like to highlight the hotel we stayed at at PhiPhi Island - Phi Phi Co Co resort. I think this one was the best on the Island.
To sum it up - great tour, Tina is a great specialist and I am grateful for such a wonderful vacation.

Also a great one, the only minus - no private beach, but there is an easy access to the public beach, which wasn't the problem for us.

Omg, this was my favorite! Highly recommend! Living in such "private villas" was an absolutely awesome experience. You feel that you are somewhere on the Island, and the good thing is that you don't see other guests of this hotel often, only for breakfast ( however not crowded) and at the swimming pool. The only minus was that there were parties on another side of the Island, and you could hear some noise due to the echo, but this was the issue for the entire Island.

The staff was very friendly and the location along the river was nice. The food from the restaurant was also very good. Our main issue was that the air conditioning was antiquated so it took hours for the room to become a bearable temperature. That and we had several bugs and lizards in our room.

Authenticity & Character
Almost too rustic with poor air conditioning and places for critters to get into our room, which they did. Charming appearance.

Again, air conditioning didn't work well, though it was extremely hot the days we were there. Would recommend the hotel allow guest to keep the key card inserted while out for the day so the electricity remains on and air conditioning keeps room comfortable.

Chiang Mai

This activity was substituted from our original plan due to the water festival going on. The temple itself was less grand than others we visited, but we assume that was due to the changes that needed to be made, which is understandable. The best part of this tour was our guide. I believe his name was Bee or Vee. He was so friendly, his English was excellent, and was so funny and warm. He gave us lots of great info about Thailand and Chiang Mai. We enjoyed him immensely.

Tina worked with us across multiple iterations to customize a trip with different activities, locations, and lodging that suited our preferences. Our local guides and drivers were amazing! We did not think about the amount of hassle it would save to have all this booked ahead of time. Plus it was amazing to have local guides that we got to see multiple days in a row.

All in all, we happily recommend Tina + Kimkim and will use them again the next time we come back to Southeast Asia!

Hotel Reviews
Koh Tao Cabana Hotel
Koh Tao

Amazing location on the end of the Koh Tao beach. Easily walkable to busier areas with a free shuttle from the pier yet still a bit more relaxed. We loved the onsite restaurant (servers were very friendly + food was solid) but also easy to walk to other options

I was a little apprehensive booking this since I didn’t see too many reviews for it and wanted to make sure it was ethical. Turns out, it was an amazing experience. They talked about how they used positive reinforcement to work with the elephants they had onsite (3 females). We had an opportunity to feed them, wash them in the river, and make them a nutritious snack using local natural supplements.
