Tina was excellent and planned our trip perfectly, with everything running smoothly and all of our activities that she included being fantastic- John Gray’s Sea Canoe was a particular highlight and I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting the area. The staff and organisation was just fantastic and the activities throughout the day were wonderful.

Our only issue on this trip was the planned visit to Elephant Jungle Sanctuary in Phuket. We had stressed that we were cautious about only doing this activity if it was completely ethical and unfortunately for us it did not seem to be- although you can’t ride the elephants, their purpose at the sanctuary is to be touched and photographed by tourists rather than just being left to roam and letting tourists observe them in their natural environment in a ‘hands-off’ way, which is what we would have preferred. We left the sanctuary without taking part in the activity so this was a waste of money and travel time for us.

Overall though, we would definitely use KimKim again to plan another trip as the whole process was smooth and easy and Tina kept in touch regularly.

Hotel Reviews
Our Jungle House
Surat Thani

This hotel is absolutely beautiful for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle and stereotypically touristy Thailand experiences. The location is right in the jungle and is such a great experience to be in the middle of nature. A particular highlight was the food- the menu is really good and the food is high quality (we are both vegetarian also, and had some of our best meals at this hotel). The only issue is that the rooms are open and there is no air-con, so (if like us you are visiting in the hot season) you will struggle to sleep at night as it is so hot and humid and you will get a lot of bugs in your room. It’s still a fantastic experience but for us we couldn’t have stayed more than two nights as we weren’t getting a good night’s sleep. The staff and activities you can do are also fantastic and we would highly recommend a stay in this hotel if you are visiting the National Park.

It is a good thing that they don’t have air-con, as this hotel is very eco-friendly, however it is very hot and humid in your room and this is uncomfortable but worth putting up with for a few nights for a fantastic stay amongst nature :)

A beautiful and luxurious hotel with an excellent location and very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are superb, the private pool is such a lovely and luxurious touch. The food at the restaurant is very nice also- we just wish they had more vegetarian options!

Cannot be more positive about this trip! From start to finish it was well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. The staff on the boat were so friendly and just made so much effort to ensure that we had a great time. Our canoe guide Adam was wonderful! The food was delicious, and there were always snacks and water available throughout the day, as well as the planned meals. Vegetarians were catered for so well- in fact, this is probably the best trip I have ever been on where we felt catered for properly and not just an after thought with one food option on the buffet. The activities were also great, and even though it was a long day, we always felt that we were having fun. Highly recommend this trip to anybody visiting the area!

Thailand is such a beautiful country with wonderful people. We especially loved the Tree House Villa and The Shores at Katathani. Amazing properties. The Tree House stands out because of the amazing service and amenities. We plan to return to this property in the future. The only snafu I’m is that we were placed on the 2nd floor at the Panvaree The Greener Floating Bungalows . We had been specific about wanting a one-the-water room. This was disappointing since staying in a floating bungalow was something we were really looking forward to experiencing. Be very specific when working and ask for confirmation that you have the room that you expect to have. Tina suggested to Age Resturant as our last meal in Thailand before going to the airport and it was wonderful! Lovely view and great food. Our trip was the perfect blend of sight seeing and relaxation. We plan to return to this wonderful country sometime in the future.

Sri Panwa Phuket Luxury Pool Villa Hotel

This is probably the best resort I have ever stayed at. We loved it so much, that we extended our trip to have more free time at the resort. The private infinity pool was amazing and had an incredible view. The private beach was also very nice. There are kayaks to use at the the beach, but we were told not to go in the water due to an abundance of jellyfish. We hope to come back to Phuket and stay at this hotel.
