Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
No problems as always
Mia is amazing - so easy to deal with and friendly. Lee also helped me out with a situation which was nothing to do with DialAFlight. Great company and looking to book already for next year.
Everything went very smoothly and the flights were perfect. Thanks for all your efforts
As ever, Tammy delivered a bespoke holiday package - absolutely perfect and a big thanks from us
Excellent service as usual. Ashley was spot on all the way through the process
We always tell others we meet on our travels about the excellent service Tristan offers. I need to give a mention to Destination Asia your representatives in Bangkok who give a first class service
Great as usual
Smooth as silk
Heathrow assistance is awful - they are very rude
Very efficient as always.
Excellent service as usual from Michelle Dooler
As always, great service and everything exactly as booked. Thank you Ellis.
When there was an issue with our accommodation Joe quickly sourced a nearby alternative. Then sadly my wife had to go into hospital but I know that I have Jamie and Joe helping from the UK
Very satisfied, thank you
Always great service
Excellent communication with Nick Beattie and when we had to change our return flight he made it seamless. We'll certainly be using DialAFlight again
Excellent service from beginning to end. Thanks Zoe / Adrian
Super and outstanding service as always. Can't praise you enough. Highly recommendable.
All worked according to plan, no problems, excellent personal service
Harry was, as always, very helpful, professional and knowledgeable.
Great service from Billy Gardner
BA are the worst national carrier. Flight going out late, business class like sardines, food on menu not available, staff lacking pride in their job.
Every time you come good
Awesome trip. Thank you
Everything fine and thank you
Always use DialAFlight and have done for the last 20 years. If I had to come home early or stay later Spencer sorted everything out for me. Top company
Excellent service. I will be using DialAflight for all my up and coming trips
Saf, as always, looked after us on this epic adventure
Ryan and Guy did a fantastic job of organising our itinerary. Highly recommended
Always a pleasure to book with DialAFlight. Spot on every time. My first and only choice. Highly recommended.
My plan for my eagerly-anticipated trip to Thailand was - there was no plan. Just three weeks of winter sunshine, island-hopping with a girl pal - a relaxing break from my job as a weather forecaster on ITV.
After flying to Bangkok, we took another plane direct to Krabi on the west of the mainland. There was no time to waste... a beach was waiting.
Railay Bay in Krabi is picture-perfect Thailand and the ideal place to kick off a holiday. Long-tail boats parked in neat rows bobbed along the shoreline with crystal-clear turquoise water lapping at the limestone cliffs. The cliffs are popular with climbers.
I didn't quite muster the courage to scale a sheer rock face in a harness - although we did clamber up a 70-degree slope using just ropes. It was totally worth it.
After the initial steep incline, we found ourselves in rainforest-style terrain with a breathtaking view of the entire peninsula.
The striking white cliffs and dense tropical jungle-style greenery define Krabi.
We drank our body weight in fresh coconut milk and pina coladas in our first couple of days as we acclimatised to our new surroundings and gradually began to relax.
Afternoons were spent deciding where to sunbathe after simple lunches - mostly of satays and papaya salads.
We called the latter 'papaya salad roulette'- as you never knew how spicy it was going to be. Some were well into blow-your-socks-off country.
RELAXING MASSAGE
I lost count of the massages we had, each one leaving me blissfully floppy.
We loved the bars with their boho beanbags, low tables and bamboo terraces overlooking the bay.
We didn't want to leave Railay Bay in Krabi, but we had arranged to head to Phuket to meet up with some ex-pat friends over from Hong Kong.
We stayed at the famous Slate hotel. It's a huge hotel with a choice of three pools surrounded by tropical plants - and even our room came with its own courtyard, plunge pool and outside bathtub.
Nearby, Nai Yang Beach was quiet and unspoilt - a fitting location for sundowners and more popular with locals swinging in their hammocks than tourists.
From Phuket, the hotel arranged our transfers to Koh Lanta via the island of Phi Phi, where we stopped off for the day and hired a long-tail boat to go snorkelling. With just us aboard, our guide tailor-made the whole afternoon and we even found an idyllic little secluded bay for lunch.
We then took a ferry to Koh Lanta. Until I arrived in Koh Lanta I thought I had reached the peak of relaxation - but there it was like stepping back in time, with a slightly hippy vibe.
I saw as many home-made signs for beachside yoga as I did for happy hours. The resort was on the edge of Phra-Ae Beach, home to a string of rustic restaurants and chilled-out bars.
BEACH BARBECUES
Beach barbecues became an evening ritual - barefoot, still in our sundresses, bikinis and smelling of sun cream. I'm sure all this made the freshly-barbecued fish and local Singha beer taste even better.
For a change of scenery we took a tuk tuk to nearby Long Beach - three miles of soft sand fringed by shady tall pine trees. The shade was something we were craving after going out on paddle-boards in the strong late-afternoon sunshine.
I'd only paddle-boarded once before but the still, clear waters of the Andaman Sea were the ideal place to get into the swing of it. After a very floppy few days in Koh Lanta, it was time to mentally prepare ourselves to head back to London life, via Bangkok.
BUZZING BANGKOK
Bustling Bangkok was an assault on the senses at first after so much relaxation. But Hotel Muse couldn't have suited us better. In a brilliant location, it was a calm sanctuary in the craziness of Bangkok's streets. Our suite was huge, with the comfiest beds.
Someone had suggested we go to a club called Sing Sing - it's one of the best I've ever been to, buzzy and with friendly staff. With espresso martinis in hand, we made friends from all over the world.
I already plan to go back to meet them there again.
