Thailand now offers the visitor the opportunity to leave behind restrictive hotel and resort rooms, where guests are referred to as "keys", and to enjoy a richer experience of this fascinating kingdom from the comfort and space of a
private villa.
Renting a holiday villa in Thailand is not only cost-effective, but also generally assures visitors of superior space, privacy and facilities, and a much greater involvement in the local ways of life. Thailand vacation rentals cover the entire spectrum of price ranges, and can now be found throughout the kingdom.
Some of our favourites are:
Gecko Villa, a
Thai holiday villa for rent in the countryside, with a large private swimming pool looking out over their own rice paddies, where holidays include freshly prepared Thai meals.
Green Gecko, a
very Thai pool villa for rent set among tropical gardens and plantations in the rural Northeast. This 2 bedroom villa emphasizes Thai design and complete comfort off the beaten path, and is centered around a very private hardwood sundeck, sala and private swimming pool.
The above Thai villas successfully blend privacy and independence in unusual and authentic settings, with the renowned Thai warmth and welcome, as a local Thai family from a nearby village take guests under their wing during their stay. This means not only that all your meals are cooked for you at no additional cost - leaving you more time to relax - but that your laundry is done for you and when you wish to get out and explore, you have the option of being shown around by them, taking part in rice planting, local festivals, visits to meet the locals and more.
