Thailand has seen in recent years, the rent of an increase in the number of private villas for the holidays. Here, we examine the home market, and our recommendations on how to find and book a villa, and where your next holiday.
These alternatives to hotel accommodation and resorts often offer excellent quality and high standards, but a series of very second rate properties are also widely circulated on the Internet and in some cases do not offer more than one room in a tired building into a bad situation: is like the tourists to find a suitable home, and understand the prices in order, however, be sure to get an important good, clean and properly maintained Villa at the right price.
And 'quite possible to rent your own villa in Thailand for a holiday and enjoy not only first class accommodations, but also a multitude of services at prices that makes this a holiday, the sensible alternative to booking a room - or even that with family and friends, a number of areas - in a station.
Why Thailand?
Thailand is an ideal destination for those who own their own home or villa to rent for a number of reasons:
- Thais are widely accepted as a friendly, smiling people
- The Kingdom of the cuisine is famous worldwide, but most visitors are familiar with famous dishes like Tom Yam Kung, a variety of dishes and regional specialties is large, serious and even a wolverine would be difficult to prove the last game Thai court to stay an experience.
- Thailand is a shopper's paradise and offers unique silk, handmade furniture and a large variety of exotic products at a fraction of the cost of such goods in the West. Clothing, leather goods and decorative items are often top of the visitor's shopping list.
- Thailand offers great value for money: even five stars for a fraction of what they are not only in the West but also in other Asian cities like Hong Kong or Singapore.
- Thailand welcomes millions of visitors annually to its shores, and the security staff is generally very good. All reports of crime are generally smaller, with jewels and similar frauds, but the experienced traveler is unlikely to fall. Most visitors to Thailand will be much safer than ever in comparable cities like London, Paris, New York etc.
Region Thai, I have to go?
The visitor to Thailand is now spoiled for choice, with the villas around kingdom.For shorter stays, we suggest you keep a single target, in order to avoid the hassle of travel and explore in depth a location of your choice. For longer stays, why not be in two very different places, so that a greater burden on the country and its diversity, taking advantage of the networks in favor of his trips home? (See below)
Thailand is generally divided into four regions.
Bangkok and Central Plains
Bangkok is a metropolitan city that, despite its famous and busy streets of congested traffic, a variety of things to do and discover, to explore those with the patience and will. Restaurants in Bangkok are second to none, if you are looking for Thai and foreign fields, and make a weekend to explore other markets and, like many of his lesser-known temples. A cruise on the Chao Phraya river - perhaps in private rented long tail boat - is a great way to see most of the city, without reducing the tears in my eyes from the traffic.
North
The north is home to cities such as Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Mae Hong Son in the tropical jungle and mountains to the north attracts those who are looking for hiking or in places of natural beauty. You try to avoid the big cities, because of tourism here, then, that the risk of "process" just run a series of popular elephant camp and hill tribe trekking beat developed ...
The North East
The North is the largest region of the kingdom, but largely untouched by tourism. North East (ISAN o) is the rice bowl of the country, and is primarily agricultural, producing rice, sugar cane, cassava, eucalyptus, and increasingly, rubber. More Khon Kaen and Udon Thani centers, and the mighty Mekong River winds through this region. The people here are perhaps more open and fun-loving country, perhaps because their lives in the village where the traditions opened consumption significantly slower than in other parts of the nation founded on the rise. Travel in the Northeast for those who witness this unique experience to get away from the crowds and immerse yourself in something new.
South
Southern Thailand is known for its beautiful beaches and resorts such as Phuket, Krabi and Koh Samui is known. Some of the apartments more expensive in the country here. Travellers should be aware of security issues in the south and to avoid traveling in the southern provinces: the website of your local government travel advice is updated with the recommendations and warnings in the mail.
Villa Holiday Market
Holiday in Thailand tend to fall into two categories. They are either private homes or villas autonomous units that are part of a hotel complex. These games are very different!
Resort Villas
The center is essentially an inventory Villa Resort Superior room, and the price will be accordingly. In many cases, these villas were designed by professional designers, the hotel itself, and then sold to a buyer maintained by third parties which in turn joins the rental pool by the developer to realize a return on investment at the villa of an offer to acquire the buyer.
The advantage is that the occupants of the house will usually be able to obtain additional services or services provided by the station, when prices at the station to take to complete. The disadvantage is that for those who experience a more authentic, they are just invited to a resort, and is considered a supplement - if well-paid "key".
Private villas
The private villas situated in typically second homes by people on a parcel of land held individually owned.
These can be rented "as is", with guests pick up the key at the beginning of the trip and again at the end, with or without cleaning or security deposit. Alternatively, the villa has its own staff, usually live on the property, but take care available during your stay, cleaning, laundry, kitchen or on-site visits, etc.
If you choose a property or a private villa complex, you should expect to pay a deposit at the time of booking to guarantee arrival by credit card or bank transfer.
Proven
We tried a number of holiday villas in Thailand, and below, simply select a villa a place and a private villa - each with a unique experience, but a very different experience.
Green Gecko, Northern Thailand
Green Gecko is a private house in a large estate, surrounded surrounded by forests, plantations and rice fields in the countryside of northern Thailand, near a town called in Udon Thani. Free airport transfers were removed from the airport, which is located on a 50-minute flight from Bangkok Airways and Thai budget airline Nok Air or Air Asia.
Unlike consumer sites, our stay here, we were able to discover and experience the real Thailand, off the beaten track.
The villa of traditional Thai architecture: an imposing wooden staircase leads to the terrace and wood indoors, where our beautiful swimming pool has been, with stunning views over the surrounding countryside and the sunsets. The sloping roof of a house of clay tile has an almost temple. High protection and covered "sala" Here offered by the midday sun is strong and has become our favorite spot, overlooking the pool.
Accessible from the platform in two separate buildings, both rooms (air conditioning), and living room and dining room and kitchen. The room had a solid teak four-poster king-size bed, out with a soft cotton duvet and pillows, a large private bathroom and toilet and shower in the garden. The second bedroom has a queen canopy bed, again with a large bathroom / WC.
The main building air-conditioned dining room with table and chairs for six people, a lounge with comfortable sofas and a view over the pool and a spa equipped with a futon to relax in front of the large LCD TV (with area high-end system home theater and international satellite channels). Opening of the area (behind sliding panels of wood) as a separate WC and a fully equipped kitchen is western (with microwave, oven, built, etc.), which in turn the result of a Thai steel kitchen.
We must confess that all this seemed very friendly, but we never kitchens - to help with the exception of ourselves, a couple of beers from the ice refrigerator! As the owner is a former chef, prepares all his meals during their stay, guests, varying the composition of the must or tastes. We were pleased to be displayed in the gardens of a number of herbs and spices, then showed us how to raise the spirit delightfully fresh and lively dishes in the Northeast. We tried the classic Thai food is definitely mouth watering, and stay in a villa like the one in which all meals are prepared for you, was a cook who is willing to share its secrets, a blessing!
We spent a lot of time just relaxing by the pool in complete privacy, but also received a series of trips with our guests to some of the images and sounds to experience the Northeast. This spectacular trip belonged to a small wooden boat on a lake, which is essentially a giant pink lotus flowers, with only an occasional fisherman or buffalo wallow (observed marriage proposals!) Stopped We also visited a local museum, which seemed Thailand to designate the home of the Bronze Age, and a series of noisy, colorful festivals and markets and farms in the wet silk and cobras. But our lasting impression was one of rural simplicity and friendly people always make sure that our stay and enjoy an endless variety of local food and drink!
Green Gecko can be used for stays of two nights or more through the site, where the availability and fares can be booked online will be tested (approximately U.S. $ 280, including all transfers, service and meals.)

Selecting a suitable holiday villa on the Internet is easy with Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. Remember:
