It was a great holiday
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
Would recommend again and have several times, thanks again
We had a great holiday arranged for us by Tristan Chatburn. Five flights, a boat return transfer, two excursions and five hotels were involved and everything worked seamlessly. Destination Asia were amazing with all local arrangements, as was Tristan for putting it all together.
Thank you again DialAFlight. Everything exceeded expectations and we had the exact accommodation we requested.
Thanks again to Matthew and his team. We had the most perfect holiday and got engaged! Have passed your number to my aunt as she has some holidays she’d like to book and we wouldn’t use anyone else!
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
As efficient and knowledgeable as ever. Great to know you always get excellent support from DialAFlight staff.
Great as usual
Great service. I have and would recommend DialAFlight to anyone. Keep up the good work
Smooth as silk
Heathrow assistance is awful - they are very rude
Very efficient as always.
Billiant holiday, the only thing I would say is that I paid for transfer when this was free and included with the hotel.
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
Rebecca was phenomenal from start to finish. I have vocally shared my experience on LinkedIn with friends, colleagues and connections in the same industry as myself.
Thank you for your help in arranging our flights to Phuket with a few days in Singapore. All went very smoothly.
So helpful and professional
Andrew gave me excellent advice on everything I was worried about as an older person.
Super and outstanding service as always. Can't praise you enough. Highly recommendable.
Thank you so much to Nicole and the team at DialAFlight. Everything was perfect with excellent communication and organisational skills.
All worked according to plan, no problems, excellent personal service
This is an amazing company and I have already told so many of my friends and family. They are all using DialAFlight for their perfect service.
Harry was, as always, very helpful, professional and knowledgeable.
Koh Samui today looks every inch the polished holiday destination. Manicured white beaches overlook stunning 21st century hotels, boasting a growing number of top-rated restaurants and exclusive clubs.
The island's roads, however, have more of the 19th century about them - progress from the airport to your resort can be sluggish to say the least. But then it was only in the 1970s that the first road was built. Before that, Samui lived off farming and fishing and crossing the island via the densely-thicketed highlands used to take the best part of a day for what is now only a 15-mile journey.
I've been back to Samui quite a few times since my first visit 20 years ago, when I stopped off after living and working in Japan as a model. I love going to Kamalaya, a spa resort offering detox, yoga, fitness and weight control. It's built around a cave once used by Buddhists as a spiritual retreat.
There are plenty of things to do and see on the island, but once I've checked in, I tend to stay put. Everything you need to enjoy the perfect break is right there. If I can visit the spa every day and have lots of rejuvenating treatments, I'm as happy as a clam.
I eat modestly - no animal products and lots of fruit and vegetables. But I don't go hungry - I make sure I dine very well.
My strict regime also means that I drink no alcohol and no tea or coffee. It makes me feel really good and sets me up for the next six months.
I would like to pretend that my diet is as rigid back home. But I must confess that when I'm presenting the Capital Radio Breakfast Show, I rely on a little coffee kick in the morning and succumb to the odd croissant.
My favourite meal at Kamalaya is a big 'detox broth'; green soup with sesame and a mild flavour of seaweed, with loads of vegetables that have been double-boiled.
At dinner you can sit at a communal table and chat to lots of different people.
But no-one minds if you prefer to sit on your own and read a book.
It's not compulsory to follow a weight loss plan or be there for a detox. I choose to follow a healthy plan because I enjoy the results. I'm weighed at the start and end of my visit. They've kept my records over the years - and I'm pleased to say that my body fat ratio has improved over the years, which amazes me.
On this trip, after leaving Kamalaya I was joined by two friends for a stay at the Akaryn, a new stylish hotel which was quite a different sort of experience. The girls and I liked the swim-up bar, and we had fun drinking cocktails in the pool. The resort also had a great steak restaurant and fabulous pizzas. In a way, I was re-toxing after the detox week at Kamalaya!
However, there were also really healthy dishes on the menu, including a lot of fish.
One day we visited the famous Fisherman's Village, basically a long street with a range of stalls and restaurants. After shopping we went to a cool little restaurant called Starfish and Coffee, quirky and fun.
Another night we went to Chaweng, a popular beach area - with nightlife including some rather risque shows. But mostly our night-time entertainment was swimming in our pool, so private we could have our own little parties.
In the morning, I'd get up with the sun and have a walk on the beach and a swim before breakfast - before a yoga session in the shade of an oak tree.
