Overall, the trip was truly amazing, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful details and extra touches along the way. The fast-track airport service was fantastic, and we were very impressed with the quality of the hotels throughout the trip. It was clear that a lot of care went into the planning, and our family came home with so many wonderful memories.

A few suggestions for future trips: the Bangkok food tour was a little challenging with such a large group. We would have enjoyed smaller, more local venues rather than Chinatown, which was difficult to navigate with a group of our size.

The Shangri-La Chiang Mai was a wonderful choice for families, and the kids really enjoyed the hotel. However, I would probably recommend dining outside the hotel, as some of the best food we had on the entire trip was at the local restaurants in Chiang Mai. Exploring the local dining scene was definitely one of our highlights. We loved the Melia Koh Samui and the highlight was the speed boat tour and lunch on the beach.

Since we booked so far in advance, we had also hoped our rooms could have been located closer together. With a large family group, having rooms near one another would have made things a little easier.

These are relatively small suggestions in the context of what was truly a fantastic trip. We are so grateful for all the planning, attention to detail, and special touches that went into it. It was an incredibly memorable experience for our entire family, and we really appreciate everything you did to make it so special.

"Our recent vacation was an absolutely incredible experience—by far the best trip we have ever taken! What truly set this journey apart was KimKim’s meticulous attention to detail. From the moment we landed at our first destination to our final departure heading home, every single transition was flawless. Every need was anticipated and seamlessly met, allowing us to just relax and enjoy. That level of care and precision is what makes kimkim stand out from the rest. We couldn't be happier!"

We stayed at the most amazing hotel in Phuket where we upgraded to a super luxury villa which made our trip more memorable! The Slate is the most beautiful hotel, ever!

Some of our most memorable activities include the elephant sanctuary and cooking dinner with the locals in Chiang Mai, eating out in Bangkok and checking out the floating and railroad market, getting tailored suits made and daily massages and of course Phi Phi Island in Phuket ! We enjoyed being picked up by our guide at each airport too!

Elena was a dream to work with and flawlessly dealt with our shifting numbers, optional day activities and requests all the way through the trip. We dined at a long list of amazing places including a family home and Michelin-star restaurants. Highly recommend!!

We loved our guides. In Bangkok, Nana took great care of us. My daughter and I added an afternoon with her to see “local neighborhoods” and it was our favorite. Highly recommend. She took us to the flower market; we saw great street art; a unique tea shop and a small chocolate shop.

In Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, we loved our time with Pong. We learned so much from her and felt her love for Thailand through her stories and interactions with local people. She also helped me navigate food since I am celiac and eat gluten-free. She is a true host with a warm and caring manner.

We loved learning about Buddhism and the history of Thailand from both Pong and Nana.

We particularly loved our bike tour in Chiang Mai (thanks Hockey). And loved the Elephant Sanctuary - highly recommend. The cooking school was perhaps our all time favorite cooking class - and we have done them all over the world. Again, great attention to my need to avoid gluten by our chef Tom.

We would not recommend the floating market outside Bangkok. It was way too touristy for us.

We finished our trip in Koh Samui. The hotel manager Aimee was so good at welcoming us and making sure we had a perfect stay. And we had a lovely lunch at The Cliffs and a beautiful dinner at The Four Seasons.

We did wonder about accommodations on the other side of the island where the water seemed a bit clearer and more blue bc of the rock and sand. But we had a lovely visit to that side of the island.

It was an absolute pleasure working with you and your group. From the very beginning, I appreciated your enthusiasm, flexibility, and sense of adventure, and I’m so happy to hear that the trip came together in a way that created so many special memories.

I loved reading about your time with Nana and Pong. They are both wonderful guides, and it means so much to hear how deeply they connected with your family. The afternoon exploring Bangkok’s local neighborhoods with Nana sounds like such a memorable experience, and I know Pong will be touched to hear that her stories, knowledge, and care helped bring Thailand to life for you. I’ll also be sure to pass along your kind words to Hockey, Tom, and the rest of the team.

As someone who travels with dietary restrictions, I know how important it is to feel understood and taken care of, so I’m especially pleased that Nana, Pong, and Chef Tom helped make your culinary experiences enjoyable and stress-free.

Thank you as well for sharing your honest feedback about the floating market and the hotels. Insights like these are incredibly valuable and help us continue refining our recommendations for future travelers.

Most of all, thank you for trusting me with such an important family journey. Knowing that you enjoyed everything from the local experiences and cultural encounters to the food, cycling, elephant sanctuary, and cooking class means the world to me.
