Thailand is an amazing place to travel. There are pristine beaches, awe-inspiring temples, and ahhhhh-mazing cuisine. If you’ve never been, it’s time that you put Thailand on your bucket list of places to experience. It’s a long trek to Thailand if you’re traveling from the USA, but once you arrive it will all be worth it. The best time to visit is November through May.

There are over 40,000 temples in Thailand and they make great photo ops. The food is some of the best in the world. I even had the best fried chicken of my life in Thailand. That’s saying a lot being that we’re from Louisiana, which is known for its amazing foods. Thailand also has great snorkeling and scuba diving as well as beautiful scenery. Speaking of the scenery, you’ll have no issue island hopping because the boat rides to other islands are relatively cheap. You can even find flights from one place to another for well under $100usd.

Now let’s get to the reason you’re reading this. You want to stay somewhere with million-dollar views, but you want to pay Holiday Inn money. We understand! We have the answers for you.

Thailand is one of about 100 countries which offer access luxury homes and villas for tourists. They range from hundreds of dollars per night to tens of thousands of dollars per night. Celebrities and wealthy families usually reserve these homes so that they can stay in opulence without having to share their space with other tourists. These luxury homes are also perfect for groups of friends or family members looking to stay in one location while also saving money.

The sweet spot for most of these listings tend to be between 6 – 12 people. Girls trips, guys trips, couples’ trips, family getaways, they are all perfect for a place like Thailand. Want some real-life examples? Of course you do.

This location in Taling Ngam is listed at $960usd per night. This is a 6 bedroom, 7 bathroom, three-level home. Daily breakfast, housekeeping and the use of a 7 passenger SUV are all included.

This spectacular home on Koh Samui is situated in a quiet enclave along the east coast near Bophut and Chaweng. Perched on elevated land about five kilometers from the beach, the villa gazes out on panoramic views of Chaweng Bay. It’s larger and pricier at $1700usd per night. With 6 large bedrooms and 7 bathrooms it accommodates up to 12 guests. If 12 guests stayed at this location it would cost less than $150usd per night per person.
