The people behind Yim Travel!
We’re a family of four from Belgium who have been exploring Thailand for over a decade – ever since our kids were in kindergarten. From the islands of the south to the jungles in the north, we’ve traveled across Thailand by train, tuk-tuk, scooter and longtail boat.
With two growing teens now in tow, our adventures have grown with us. We’ve learned where to find the most kid-friendly beaches, the safest street food, the best family resorts, and the hidden gems that guidebooks often miss.
We started YIM Travel to share our hands-on experience with other families and travelers who want to explore Thailand with confidence. Every blog post is based on real trips, real places, and honest advice – with a big dose of love for Thai culture, food and people.
We don’t just write about Thailand. We live it.
