Tina helped us plan an amazing trip to Thailand! We could not have found the activities she planned for us on our own. Even when we got put on an earlier flight on the way to Thailand, Tina was able to make sure our driver was able to pick us up two hours earlier than expected.
Our guide Lina in Bangkok was knowledgeable and very passionate about history and food. We really enjoyed getting to spend three days with her and she kept finding amazing treats for us to try no matter what type of tour we were on! She even found us a non-touristy spot to eat near the palace, which was so delicious and no easy feat!
Our hotel in Phuket was amazing, it had one of the best breakfast's I've ever seen and we were able to throughly relax with a spa day there. Tina's recommendation to stay on Kata Noi beach was perfect for us as we wanted a more calm beach experience. We were always able to find a beach lounger and the beach was perfect for swimming. The John Gray Sea Canoe was a major highlight and I recommend it to anyone considering Phuket. It was our favorite activity and had some of the best food we had on the entire trip.
This trip was the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation and we could not have asked for more.
Hotel Reviews
Great location in Bangkok a few blocks walk from the subway, shopping, and Lumphini park. The rooms are very nice, quiet, and clean and room service was excellent the day we ordered it. The rooftop bar has a very fun atmosphere too!
We really loved the Katathani Resort. It was the perfect stay for a relaxing getaway. Right on the beach we had great views from our balcony and they even upgraded us to a nicer suite, which was large and comfortable with a nice balcony and soaking tub. The breakfast buffet is major highlight of this hotel, they have an amazing array of Thai, Chinese, and western breakfast options all hot and fresh! We did a half day at the spa one morning and it was phenomenal, it was easy to book, very affordable for the level of service provided, and the ultimate relaxing treat. If you are looking for more of a party spot this is not the hotel or beach for you. But if you want a quite place to soak up the sun from look no further!
Activity Review
This was our favorite part of our trip to Thailand! Getting to see the Hong's (sea caves) was amazing and we were so surprised when we found out each canoe got their own paddler so we got to just sit back and take in the stunning scenery. The food on the boat is also a major highlight. They say a "light lunch and dinner" will be served, but both meals were feasts of amazing home cooked Thai food. Seriously some of the best food we had on the trip. For being a large group tour you always felt like you had personalized attention, due to the individual paddle guides, and were never crowded. Cannot recommend this activity enough!
Hi Quinn,
I truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback—it means a lot! Your kind words make me happy and reinforce the value of my efforts. Thanks for sharing in the enjoyment of the trip. Looking forward to the possibility of seeing you again!
Best,
