CK41 Tours

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.

Hotel was nice but felt a little dated. A guest on our floor was smoking and it got in the vents. No big deal but not ideal.

Fucking awesome.

Took my trip to Thailand back in February 2026. Kimkim takes and holds your hand every step of the way. The guides, the personalized excursion, and the quality of service was simply flawless. The team at Kimkim, Bella and Tina, were there for whenever I needed them. You're in great hands with them. The guides felt genuinely happy to be there, and often went the extra mile to make our trip as smooth as possible. Thank you, Mr. Betty, for a spectacular tour of Bangkok!

Great support in helping us organise such a memorable trip!

Benjamin created an affordable and amazing itinerary for Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket. We really enjoyed the diverse food, shopping cultural sites, and nightlife in Bangkok. Kodalay Seafood Buffet was our culinary highlight, great seafood by the river.

Transportation from airports to various destinations were seamless. Elephant Sanctuary tour in Phuket was an amazing experience feeding and walking amongst the elephants in their natural habitat. Also spent time on the beautiful beaches in Phuket and island hopping to Maya Bay.

Benjamin was always available to help in booking extra room or when I lost my wallet and key card. I would highly recommend him for any trip to Thailand.

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.

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.

So interesting. I learned a lot about Thailand. The Reclining Buddha, Standing Buddha and Emerald Buddha are sights to check off your bucket list.

The guide was knowledgeable and nice. She ( and most of the guides) were hard to understand.

The vans were clean and had water. Kimkim and the local agents confirmed every pickup.

Interesting and an experience to observe. I am it an adventurous eater and did not feel comfortable eating any of the street food by that time in the evening.

Elephant Nature Park Visit

Chiang Mai

A highlight of my visit to Thailand. The Save the Elephants reserve is the largest elephant rescue in Asia. It is an ethical reserve (be sure to check if you go elsewhere). It was amazing to be so close to these magnificent creatures, though you cannot touch them.

We had a wonderful time on our trip to Thailand, Cambodia and Viet Nam, arranged with the excellent help of Bella. It would truly be difficult to say which we liked best, however, Chang Mai was a highlight and we do not need to do PhuKet again, which was a place I was set on :-)

I will say it was a learning experience and there are events I would hold firm on which perhaps could have been done differently. However, Bella went over each detail with us and we were in agreement on all.

I highly recommend KimKim travel and will certainly use them again.

We had a wonderful trip, and loved every minute. Thank you KimKim Team and especially Sandi for making our trip truly exciting and memorable. Everything worked smoothly, without one worry or issue. 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!
