"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!"

Our guides were phenomenal. "Ae" took special care of us in Bangkok and Lisa did the same in Phuket.

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!

Kim Kim was perfect!

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.

Dear Dawn,

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. Reading through your comments truly made my day.

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.

I wish you and your family many more wonderful adventures together, and I hope our paths cross again for another trip in the future.

We wish we had skipped the railroad and floating market in Bangkok. The side itinerary she planned for one of our late arrivals was great!

The hotel in chang mai was nice but not having a bar was a draw back and we thought it could have been located in neighborhood closer to eating places etc.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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
A bit aged.

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.

Hi Alicia,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this, it truly means a lot to me.

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.

Warmly,
Kien
