This was definitely one of my favorite trips thanks to Elena and pom.

Everything from the planning stages until flying home at the end of our trip was seamless and well executed by kimkim. I started working with Hoa during the planning and booking but then Phuong stepped in before the trip and they were both wonderful. We had a great time with our guide Ron and driver Cow in Bangkok and Kanchanaburi. The excursions to the Elephant sanctuary and pig island/snorkeling was also great. Thank you so much!

The entire trip was great, especially as our first time in Asia. We were met with warm welcomes from the moment we arrived to when it was time to leave. Phuong and her team were great. Our greeter, tour guide for the night food tasting was also great and allowed us to make the stops we needed. The entire team was able to also accommodate changes to our trip due to my husbands unexpected ankle injury prior to us traveling. Overall a great experience and we will use KimKim again for our next SouthEast Asia adventure!

All questions were answered promptly and everything was taken great care of, from drafting initial itinerary, finalizing itinerary, providing tips and details of the trip to checking in with me everytime I was in a new city. From the moment I landed there wasn't a moment I felt out of place or didn't know what to expect for each day of my trip. Day 2 of the trip was my birthday and I lost count of the cakes I got from the hotels and local guide.

Shout out to Pong, my local guide in Northern Thailand who did her job with great care and attention to detail. She felt like a local friend than someone who only wants to tick the boxes to get the job done. Thanks to her I had a relaxed time in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai which was what I needed.

Thank you again Phuong and Pong for putting together a trip so well and making it a memorable one. Less than a week back and I am already missing Thailand!

We are so happy we used Kimkim! Not only did it make our travel seamless, we received quick responses if any issues or questions did arise. Starting with getting picked up at the airport - our guide assisted us with checking into our first resort and gave us wonderful tips and directions. We traveled to multiple island while there and all transfers (including tuk tuks, longtail boats, ferries and vans) went without a hitch. 3 of the resorts we stayed at were amazing. Burasari in Phuket and Rawi Warin in Ko Lanta were great! Even saw wild monkeys in Ko Lanta! Our last resort was Koh Jum Beach Villas and we cannot say enough about how fantastic this place is! We had a couple of great island tours. The food tour in Old Town Phuket was beyond fantastic. The guide was amazing and we got to see so much! KimKim and especially Kien really took the stress out of our vacation. We will definitely will use them again!

Hotel Reviews
Burasari Phuket
Patong, Phuket, Thailand

We really enjoyed this resort. Super easy to walk to the beach and to other fun spots in Phuket. The staff was excellent and the food was amazing! The resort and pools are beautiful and feel like a little oasis in the middle of the city. There are two 2 for 1 happy hours - we didn't miss out on those! We enjoyed the hotel spa - went twice. Great place to stay and highly recommend!

Authenticity & Character
Very serene and loved the pools. Lots of vegetation and beautifully lit at night.
Location
So close to the beach and short walk to Bangla Road.
Staff
Always willing to help with any needs and were greeted by all.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very clean and comfortable.
Phi Phi Natural Resort
Krabi

This place could use a bit of updating to be amazing. It was a bit worn down and the food was ok. It is a bit off the beaten path so not a lot to do. No poolside service, which would have helped a lot. The resort didn't work well with Kimkim on honoring our excursions (Kimkim promptly refunded us!) and weren't the most attentive. The restaurant staff was great, but the food was not fabulous, nor was it bad. Beds were hard as rocks and the pillows left much to be desired. Pretty scenery however.

Authenticity & Character
The rooms were cute and views excellent. Just a bit worn looking.
Location
Pretty - but not much to do in the area.
Staff
Restaurant staff was great and front desk was OK.
Cleanliness & Comfort

Koh Jum Beach Villas
Krabi

If I could give this more stars, I would. This place made me feel like I was on White Lotus. We were greeted the moment we stepped off the transport and given a full rundown of the resort and our room. The grounds are AMAZING. The beach was almost deserted and water was clear as could be. Easy to walk out pretty far and so many shells on the beach to look at. The sounds of the cicadas and birds were hypnotizing! We often had the pool to ourselves as well. The food is fabulous and the staff was attentive. This is off the beaten track, but we felt so tranquil here that we didn't get bored. The villas were magical - views of the ocean and the gorgeous flora. Did I mention the wine cellar? They will give you a tour - very well stocked. We would return here in a heartbeat! Great way to end our lovely Thailand trip.

Authenticity & Character
Just wow! The villas fully opened up during the day (staff will open up in the morning and shut things down in the evening) and shuts up for mosquito time. The views from anywhere are amazing. Whether it's a beach view or of the grounds, it is all beautiful!
Location
So serene. It's in the sticks, but a beautiful sandy beach that feels like it belongs only to you. The grounds are amazing! Can't say enough about the beauty here.
Staff
Took care of every need we had and were super friendly. Cleaning staff were like little faeries. Every time we came back from the pool or breakfast, our room was ready. The restaurant and bar staff were friendly and waited on us hand and foot. We even saw them comforting and playing with a baby while the rest of the family dined. From check in to check out - they were on it!
Cleanliness & Comfort
So comfortable. Outdoor shower was great and the mini kitchen well stocked. Spotless everywhere.
Rawi Warin Resort & Spa
Chiang Mai

This was a beautiful resort. Rooms were great. Comfy beds, clean and great mini bar selections. This resort is very hilly, lots of stairs. This wasn't a big issue and you can call at any time for a tuk tuk to give you a ride. Food was excellent. Best part was seeing wild monkeys right outside our room. The grounds are beautiful and on the beach.

Authenticity & Character
Just beautiful. Monkeys and Water Monitor lizards in the koi pond. Lush grounds and beautiful pools.
Location
It is on the beach and you can walk down the beach to other spots if you want.
Staff
Always willing to help with a smile.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The beds were super comfortable. Not a lot of storage space, but everything else made up for it.

Hi Alicia,

I’m really happy to hear that the trip felt smooth and stress-free from start to finish, especially with all the different transfers and destinations involved. That’s always one of my biggest priorities when designing a journey like this .

It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed places like Burasari, Rawi Warin, and especially Koh Jum Beach Villas. That last one is such a special spot, and I’m so glad it gave you that peaceful, almost unreal feeling to end the trip.

I also really appreciate your honest feedback on Phi Phi Natural Resort. Thank you for sharing that so clearly. I’ll definitely take this into account when recommending options in that area moving forward. I’m glad we were able to step in quickly and take care of the excursion issue for you as well.

And I loved reading about the experiences, especially the Phuket food tour and the island days. Those are exactly the kinds of moments I always hope will stand out.

Thank you again for trusting me with your trip, it truly was a pleasure helping you put this together. And whenever you start thinking about your next adventure, I’d be more than happy to help again.
