We had a great experience working with Bella through KimKim for our trip to Thailand. This was our first time using a service like this, and honestly, it exceeded our expectations.

Bella was extremely responsive from the start and did a great job collaborating with us to build an itinerary that actually fit our family—not some cookie-cutter plan. She was flexible, attentive, and made adjustments along the way so everything felt dialed in.

One of the biggest highlights for us was having local guides. That completely changed the experience. Instead of feeling like tourists trying to figure things out, we always felt taken care of and confident in where we were going and what we were doing. It took a lot of the stress out of traveling and allowed us to actually be present and enjoy the experience.

Overall, it made the trip smoother, more meaningful, and honestly more fun. We’re already talking about going back to Thailand—and we’d absolutely work with Bella again.

I was a little hesitant to use Kimkim because I hadn't heard of it and couldn't quite tell even what it was. First, I want to assure anyone reading this that it is a totally legit site/service! I think people from different agencies can sign up on the platform, and they receive the benefit of Kimkim marketing and receive inquiries from the Kimkim site. Meaning, our agent was not "from" Kimkim but rather used their platform. This is not a bad thing! We got a local agent but with a really good communication platform and app.

For the actual trip planning, we first thought we would use Kimkim for our entire trip, but I ended up wanting more direct say over our flights and hotels. So I planned those myself. But even after I did that, Bella asked if she could still help to plan our trip. She was mostly responsive (delays over the weekend and of course due to time zone), and we had our final plans a number of days in advance (maybe a bit late for anxious planners, but I am not so that was fine for us).

As for the actual activities:

Pickups/dropoffs: They were hit or miss. It was a little tough finding people at the airports, and there was some waiting involved. (Find them, wait around, be walked to a door, wait for the van.) In my other trips, a person met us coming out of security and walked us straight to the vehicle. BKK is a much larger airport, but there were even some delays in Phuket (where the transportation service went to the international terminal instead of the domestic terminal, even though we had arrived from Bangkok). The vehicles were also hit or miss -- some nice and new, other older ones and one even with some cobwebs around the curtains. I liked that we generally had the same drivers each day so we could spot them and vice versa. I'd give a 3/5 for transportation.

Longtail Boat Canal Tour: This was fun, a nice way to see different parts of the city. We stopped at a cute market and got to see some sights from the water. Our boat was fine, and we enjoyed that we had a private boat so we could come and go as we liked. 5/5

Midnight Tuk-Tuk Food Tour (Bangkok): We loved this! Ice the guide was amazing - funny and informative. We covered a lot of ground, ate some delicious food, and got to see Bangkok in a different way than we had before. Highly recommend! 5/5

Half-Day Temple Tour: It was very hot this day, and we with our kids wanted to kind of speed it along. Our tour guide did not read the room very well. We kept asking him to go faster or leave certain sites earlier, but he kept on talking. SO much. Even in the van. This made the tour a little frustrating, as we wanted a more abbreviated version given the heat and our personal travel preferences. But we did see some nice sites, so we were glad for that. 3/5

Island hopper boat tour: We have done similar trips where we have a private boat and visit different locations in a number of different countries. We visited the Khai islands because we didn't want to travel too far from Phuket. I'm honestly not sure I would recommend this for travelers. We only got out of the boat at one of the islands. It was pretty but very commercial. The crew led us to their favorite vendors, and we did end up having a nice relaxing time. But I wouldn't call these islands "must see." The snorkeling is terrible, not even worth trying because there is nothing to see at all. I might have seen 1-2 fish. Also, in our prior trips, the boat itself was part of the fun. You could tan on a ledge, hang out on a swimming mat or tubes attached to the boat, dive, from its side. This boat was for "transportation", not fun. Its only purpose was to drive us around, very industrial and no amenities at all on or with the boat. (Life jackets and snorkels/masks.) We were disappointed. We did love the lunch on a floating dock, and the crew was quite good. Funny and engaging. But there was no food and no place to even lay outside on the boat. 3/5.

General: It was easy to work with Kimkim. I did really like their app and the convenience of having everything in one place. Bella communicated well with us and reminded us for things like travel documents. We had local contacts everyplace we went, so we felt well connect and knew whom to contact if we needed anything. I would probably use them again, but I would be more specific about what we wanted, to ensure that the services met our expectations in real life.

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.

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.

We really appreciated the location of this hotel. Very Clean. We do prefer a room with a dedicated shower over a tub as we never use tubs in hotels. The staff really did not have a person who spoke English well which made it a little difficult to communicate needs for restaurants, taxi service, massage places, etc. They were all very friendly. Excellent included breakfast.

Planning with Sandi was really fun. She was extremely patient with my questions and changes. She listened to our concerns and planned accordingly. She was communicative throughout the planning and also while we were in Thailand. I couldn't have asked for a better trip planner. I would recommend Sandi highly to anyone!

We had fantastic tour guides. It was not possible to get one tour guide for all days in each location, so we had a different guide each day. And that proved to be fantastic! Each guide was different, and each offered terrific insights and details about everything we were seeing and experiencing. Special side trips and tastes in the markets were included!

Our guides in Bangkok, Leena and, sadly, please forgive me, I am forgetting the name of the lovely and fun guide we had on the second day, were amazing. Loved the Temples, the Palace, the Jim Thompson Museum, and on day two, the Railway Market and the Floating market were great, the guide full of personal and descriptive details, and the trip to the coconut farm much fun. We loved our visit to Chinatown and lunch with our guide in a very local and delicious restaurant.

Then in Chiang Mai, we had the guides Q and Faan, both of whom were amazing. SO much fun! Loved the first day Tuk Tuk tour of the Temples and the markets. Q showed us a very local food market in the morning, and told us a lot about the habits of the people, which was so memorable. The Khaos Soi lunch, the mango and sticky rice delicious, and being blessed by a Buddhist Monk was unforgettable. The next day trip to Lamphun with Faan was also fantastic. Blessed again by another Monk and saw exquisite temples. Very worth the day trip out of the city. Rich with history and beauty.

Finally, the trip to the ethical elephant preserve was a highlight. The guide we had there was so much fun and we learned so much, and enjoyed every minute. Wow, what an experience.

I can't say enough about the tour. From the planning with Sandi, to the logistics--communications from the local coordinator each day before to confirm the details of the next day, perfect pickups and no waiting-- to the really intelligent and interesting guides. I will recommend KimKim to anyone, and plan to use them for our next trip, wherever that may be!
