Amazing Time in Thailand & Indonesia
Thailand | Oct 4 - Oct 17, 2026

My family & I had an amazing time in Thailand and Indonesia. Our guides- Nana, Pookie, Lisa, & Mul were all great & made us feel like we were right at home. They taught us about their cultures and traditions. Although my family and I aren’t the most adventurous when it comes to trying out exotic foods, they took us to the yummiest restaurants to try out not-so-spicy Southeast Asian meals. I appreciate all of them for taking their time to show us around! We hope to be back to the Asian continent soon!

The trip itself was fabulous. Everything went smoothly in Cambodia. The hotel we stayed in was great. The sub-contracted tour agency in Thailand (Exotic Voyages) provided great transfers and guides. The guide in Bangkok, Ms. Kanyapat, was probably the best guide we’ve ever had. She was thoughtful, insightful, and knowledgeable. She even communicated with the Chiang Mai guide and their main office, to ensure a couple of special requests, that Kien was supposed to arrange but apparently hadn’t, were able to happen.
That’s our only complaint with this trip. Kien was great during the planning and booking process, making valuable suggestions. We exchanged emails in early December 2026 (primarily between the 6th and 9th) about my wish to visit a Red Cross office in either Bangkok or Phuket, and the need to arrange our orientation meeting the Thailand Mountain Trails (TMT) in Chiang Mai prior to our days of hiking.
Neither Ms. Kanyapat nor our guide in Chiang Mai were aware of the Red Cross request. Ms. Kanyapat arranged for us to visit the Bangkok Red Cross office. While in Bangkok, I received an email from TMT advising me that our orientation had not been scheduled. Ms, Kanyapat immediately contacted the Exotic Voyages main office and the guide in Chiang Mai. While I set the appointment, Exotic Voyages made sure we got to the TMT office.
Kien dropped the ball. I reached out to him during the trip about the TMT orientation and he didn’t get back to me until after we had met with them. His response time during the trip was not good (as compared to our Japan agent, Eleanor, who got back to me very quick.

Phuket

Beautiful resort. Great landscaping. Good restaurants. Helpful staff. Public beach just outside and across a street from the rear of the resort. Weren't aware of this or that there were many small eateries and shops there. Pools closed too early. Our room was amazing with a private patio and large outdoor bathtub.

WOW! What an environment. Just magical right from arriving a the lobby. Great rooms with private outdoor lounge. Great pool. Great 'private' beach with activities and bar service. Primary restaurant had great food and neat environment. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would love to go back. Only recommendation is if they could run a shuttle to/from the market a few times a day.

Great location, walk to massage, restaurants, night market. Clean & comfortable. Provide a drying rack for cloths, bathing suits, etc. Good food at their restaurant and breakfast. Nice pool. Only issues were that they don't serve any alcohol, not even at their restaurant or pool 'bar'. They do allow guest to buy alcohol and bring it in, and even said their staff would go get it for guests. Other issue is that the pool closed at 7am - kind of early. Would have been nice to take a dip after a long day of sightseeing and dinner.

Unique and luxurious. The boat ride to this hotel was a bit daunting the first time, but approaching the Floathouse was magical. The room was amazing, floating on the river with a porch to watch the current flow by. The room itself was great, with center bed, romantic mosquito netting, nice ensuite. The food at their restaurant was fabulous. Only drawback is that there's no on-site pool. Have to walk to the nearby sister-resort to swim - which we didn't do.

From the planning to the execution, all parts of this trip were fabulous. We wanted to travel once in our lives where we just showed up to the airport and someone had a sign with our names on it and just whisked us away and did all of the work for us. This was it! And... I'm never going back to organizing and planning trips myself. Planning a trip for a family of 4 with young adults/older teenagers can be tough. But, all I had to do was communicate our likes and pacing style and Lilian planned it all! It was the perfect amount of sight seeing, adventure, and relaxation. Her hotel picks were fabulous were perfectly located central to the hustle and bustle with easy access by foot or train to anything we would want to see. I especially enjoyed Buri Rasa Village in Koh Samui. It’s a perfect size with not too many guests and just the right amount of gorgeous nature. If I ever come back to Koh Samui I would love to stay here again. And the NYSA hotel in Bangkok was awesome too. Their breakfast buffet was fantastic and had so many food options. I’m also very glad that I upgraded to the two bedroom suite because it was a splurge my family had never done before and that extra space and second bathroom provided such a luxurious feel that it was worth the extra money just for the memories of such an extravagant space. I highly recommend that room type for families of 4 with older children/teenagers.
Upon arrival in Bangkok our guide Nana and her driver took amazing care of us. Nana is very upbeat, high energy, and full of knowledge. We enjoyed her narrations along the drive to each activity as well as her excellent advice on things we could do and places we could eat after our day with her ended. She was able to effectively rearrange our scheduled itinerary due to some closures because of the King's birthday and we truly appreciated that flexibility. She really seemed in tune with what our likes were and adapted to our quite subdued nature with just the right amount of push to get us out of our comfort zone. We especially enjoyed her advice for the markets and suggestions for foods to try.
Thank you for making this the most amazing and easy vacation we have ever had. I truly enjoyed just waking up and having the day planned out and all of the transportation arranged.
Now that I have seen how the other half lives, I think all of our future vacations will need to be splurges like this! It’s an awesome way to travel.

This is a lovely elephant sanctuary where you mostly keep your distance and just observe. You are able to prepare food for the elephants, feed them and pet their trunk, but you mostly get to watch them in their natural state. There is no prodding or coaching of the elephants, and you do not bathe them or get in their way.

This is an absolute MUST DO activity.

The railway market is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and the canals take you through so many different styles of homes and shops along the water. We could have spent all day wandering through the markets... and I don't even like to shop or bargain! It is that great.

3. Sometimes the guides were too much. It felt like having a babysitter. I imagine this approach is necessary for large group tours, but for just two of us on our honeymoon, it felt a little oppressive sometimes. We would have preferred a "let's meet back here at xx time" approach.

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!"
