Holiday villas, airbnb and hostels in Thailand

Choosing the right holiday letting in Thailand is the key to making the most of this beautiful country, so rest assured that Likibu will find your ideal apartment rental in Thailand. Whether you are looking for a luxury holiday rental to indulge in the beauty of the Phuket, a B & B holiday rental in Chiang Mai, the heart of Thailand's culture, or a holiday villa with a private pool in Krabi, you can choose from a limitless selection of accommodation on websites such as TripAdvisor or HometoGo.

Best time to visit?

Thailand can be enjoyed all year round, though it is recommended that the most comfortable temperature ranges from November to April, when it is slightly cooler and less tiring for exploring the cities. The east and west coast on the south of Thailand can differ as the seasons change, meaning the south west is the most desirable hotspot all year round, so book a holiday apartment on the west side to minimise your chances of rainfall. To experience one of Thailand's iconic parties, reserve a short term apartment rental in January for Chinese New Year, where you can take part in colourful street parties, dragon parades, and sample a Thai twist on Chinese cuisine.

How to get there?

Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is unofficially known as Bangkok airport, is the biggest airport to serve the capital of Bangkok, making it therefore, the largest airport in Thailand. Airlines from around the world all travel to Bangkok, including British Airways, Air France, Air Italy, and Emirates, which also connects Thailand to rest of Asia. Despite the most convenient airport being situated in Bangkok, there is no reason why you can't rent an accommodation which is further afield. Popular tourist hotspots such as Railay Beach, Koh Phi Phi and Khao Yai National Park are all accessible from a pre-booked transfer. Alternatively, you can hire a car in Thailand, which gives you the freedom of the open road to explore this beautiful country in your own time. Booking a rental or transfer is undeniably the best way for tourists to explore Thailand, as the public transport system has a reputation of being chaotic and unreliable, particularly beyond Bangkok, as visitors can find themselves travelling on non-air-conned busses, Tuk-tuks and overpriced taxis.

Thai food and cultural tips

Renting an apartment in Thailand leaves you with some extra savings to spend on drenching yourself in everything the exotic country has to offer. The best way to immerse yourself in Thailand's distinct culture is through the countries specialty dishes, as the diversity of Thai food is renowned around the world. Whether you sample the ‘Tom Kha Kai' (Chicken in Coconut Soup), the ‘Pad Krapow Moo Saap' (Fried Basil and Pork) or some ‘Gaeng Keow Wan Kai' (Green Chicken Curry), Thai cuisine is bursting with authentic flavour which is waiting to be discovered. There is no reason why you can't try cooking your own Thai food, as renting a self-catered apartment gives you the freedom to get creative in the kitchen. If you venture from your villa and sample the cuisine in a restaurant, it is considered offensive to eat with a fork, so always try to eat with a spoon in public. Additionally, when exploring the ornate temples across Thailand, it is important to remember to bring a jacket to cover up to avoid being ignorant to the culture.

Opulent architecture and beautiful beaches in Thailand

Thailand is renowned for its picturesque beaches, and lavish palaces and temples, making this country a backpacker's utopia. Whether you choose cheap accommodation or a youth hostel in Thailand's most desirable party district, Pattaya Beach, or a luxury holiday rental in the extravagant area of Krabi, every location in Thailand is distinct, but they all offer something for every visitor. From the insta worthy pink lakes, the unexpected shopping opportunities, and the countless monkey encounters, Likibu has accommodation across Thailand which is suited to every need.

Adventure in Thailand

This country has no shortage of adventure to offer its visitors, as booking a holiday rental in Thailand will place you at the heart of island hopping opportunities, diving experiences, and the chance to work with some of the world's most impressive animals at elephant reserves. If fast paced thrills are not as appealing to you then there is no reason to write off Thailand just yet, as there are a range of holiday apartments available in the tropical paradise of Koh Chang, and Phuket. Bustling Bangkok is another single reason to visit Thailand, as though it is the most developed city in the country, it has still managed to preserve its traditional architecture. Book an apartment rental or homestay in the capital, and wake up immersed in skyscrapers, street food and exclusive shops, while still being only a stone's throw away from the history which has shaped Thailand to make it the fascinating country which it is today.
