Very helpful and professional team, rare these days.
Fantastic service as always. Guy stayed in contact at all times to ensure the journey went as smoothly as possible.
Having DialAFlight support me during my journey to and from Thailand was a bonus. Travel isn't easy these days and airlines don't always deliver what you expect. The team at were there for me at the end of the phone ready to offer help when I needed it.
Nicky was fantastic!
Many thanks to Jordan. Our holiday was amazing from start to finish. We will never book a holiday with any other tour operator. DialAFlight never disappoints. All our dreams came true
Dominic, as always, amazing
Cheers Brody, see you in November
You provided an excellent service and I have already recommended you to a lot of my friends,
My experience with DialAFlight in such challenging times was excellent. Graham has the patience of a saint
Philippa has been excellent helping with changes and providing clear information in these challenging travel times
Everything was perfect
Disappointed in Thai Airways food and Business Class not worth the money but travel agent excellent
Great service, really impressed. Will be in touch later this year for some Australia flights.
Gareth delivered again!
Michael was exceptional
All staff I spoke to were excellent - courteous and extremely helpful
I was impressed with the service given to us by Roray. Flights and hotel bookings for a group of 14 were seamless and everything worked out perfectly. I would definitely recommend you to my friends and family.
Once we were on holiday it ran like clockwork. DialAFlight were always on hand to deal with any issues. Would definitely use again and recommend if you like the personal touch.
Great customer service provided by Riley throughout. Would definitely use again and recommend to others. Thank you for all your help with this trip I originally booked in 2019
Thank you for "holding my hand" through the whole process.
Thanks to Colin for organising our flight - I'll definitely be using you again.
Amazing service every step!
No problems, no delays
I would like to thank Amy who is 100% a star
First Class as always!
Excellent service
I could not have done this trip without Jessie’s help. Excellent does not sum up the service she delivered in such a professional, calm, prompt, friendly manner. I have shouted about her and the organisation to friends and family on various social media. Her colleagues have also stepped in too in her absence (outside hours) with such efficiency and friendliness. Huge thanks
As usual, another painless, well put together trip.
Eve certainly helped us through a difficult trip and came to our rescue on more than one occasion
The team and especially George have been exceptional. 5 stars!
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.
