Visitors who desire a combination of luxury and privacy may find Thailand villas to be the best accommodation choice. Vacation rentals almost always guarantee more living space and privacy than staying in a hotel. For independent travelers a Thailand holiday villa provides extra space to relax, as well as a kitchen so that self-catering is an option. With all the fresh fish and local ingredients, even the budding chef will be tempted to get into the kitchen during a vacation to Thailand.

A Phuket villa would be a popular choice for travelers, especially couples on a honeymoon or other romantic getaway who are looking for a private atmosphere in a perennially popular destination. This island is a major beach resort, where snorkeling, scuba diving, sunbathing, and top-notch dining can be enjoyed. If you’re looking to golf on your vacation, there are courses throughout the country that are worth a round or two. A Phuket villa would also provide close proximity to golf courses. Depending on the season, villas may be available for an especially affordable fee, if you’re willing to deal with a few rain showers during your vacation.

Villas in Thailand are a great option for families or groups. With a bit of extra living space and the convenience of a refrigerator, children will be kept happy. Some Thailand villas are part of resorts or hotels, and they allow guests to use the facilities of the hotel. These are great choices, as a pool and restaurants will be close by. The benefit of a privately owned Thailand holiday villa is definitely price. You may be able to negotiate a great deal with the owner directly, especially for a last-minute vacation, and cooking for yourself can help you stay within your vacation budget; though food in Thailand is available cheaply, it's nice to have extra cash for equipment rentals and other extras.

Some Thailand villas will require that a security deposit is paid. As with all business on the internet, beware of scams and do not hand over any money if you are unsure about the transaction. Many Thailand holiday villas are rented successfully, however, so do not be discouraged about this possibility. If you are looking for a bit of extra space, or if you are going to be spending an extended period in Thailand, a villa could be a great option. Remember that visitors can remain in Thailand for 30 days before needing to cross the border and enter again. This is much more successful tactic than trying to extend your visa, and the borders of Laos and Cambodia aren't far.

A Phuket villa will likely have the pristine, sandy beaches on its doorstep. With the money you saved renting accommodation, you could charter a boat or splurge on scuba lessons. Just one of the affordable accommodation options in Thailand, many visitors are surprised by the reasonable rental rates for villas and other vacation rentals, so it's worth looking into these as well as seeking out deals at luxury hotels and resorts.
