We had a great 3 weeks in Thailand. Bangkok is worth visiting many times. Our guide for our 5 days in Bangkok, Keng, was truly outstanding. He was very knowledgeable, thorough and conscientious. Our guide in Sukhothai, who told us to call him Football, was also very considerate, knowledgeable and helpful, especially regarding the best photo shots. Loy Krathong and Yi Peng festivals were great experiences. Kimkim took very good care of us. The in-country contacts made sure we always had a comfortable means of transportation. Kudos to Jook also for setting everything up for us.

Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers
Bangkok

Centrally located on the Chao Praya river and has its own ferry. Very comfortable, clean rooms and beds. Excellent service. The staff were superb, as was breakfast. Great views of the river from our room.

Probably my favorite hotel.

Legendha Sukhothai Hotel
Sukhothai

Lovely setting, but the beds were uncomfortable. It seemed to me that it was designed for people making a pilgrimage to Sukhothai. And that is perfectly fine. It’s a beautiful facility. The pool was excellent.

We visited an elephant camp and my wife especially enjoyed it. It was great to see the elephants treated kindly without any tourists riding on them. It was a pleasant experience seeing the elephants in a respectful environment.

Our guide 'Football' in Sukhothai was fantastic! He shared so much knowledge about the history of Thailand's first civilization and even helped us find the best spots for photos. His storytelling and ability to bring history to life made the full day sightseeing tour in Sukhothai memorable.

Sawasdee ka Kevin and Catherine,
Thank you so much for your lovely review — it truly means a lot to all of us at Vio Travel and kimkim.
I’m so happy to hear you and Catherine had such a wonderful three weeks in Thailand! Bangkok really is a city worth visiting again and again, and I’m delighted that Keng and Football made your time in Bangkok and Sukhothai so memorable — especially with their knowledge and eye for the best photo spots.
How special to have experienced both Loy Krathong and Yi Peng — truly magical festivals. I’m also glad everything ran smoothly behind the scenes so you could travel comfortably throughout.
It was my absolute pleasure to plan this journey for you, and I would be so happy to welcome you back to Thailand anytime.
Cheers, Jook
