So you plan to visit exotic Thailand on your next vacation and can’t decide whether to stay in a Thai villa or a Thai hotel? Tourists play a vital role in the Thai economy and because of this have become spoilt for choice with a huge range of holiday accommodation, from budget hotels to luxury resorts and villas. If you are confused about which is best for your vacation, our guide to the pros and cons of Thailand’s holiday accommodation may just help you decide !

Thai Package Holidays, Hotels and Luxury Resorts

Many tourists choose to book a Thai package holiday which generally include flights, airport transfers, hotel accommodation and can include meals. Thai holiday packages are extremely convenient if you don’t have time to make your own arrangements or if you decide to book last minute. Everything is arranged so that you only need to show up at the airport. If you have a fixed budget these are a good option as you will know the entire cost of your holiday in advance. If you opt for an ‘all-inclusive’ package that extends to all food, drink and entertainment you can effectively leave your credit card at home !

Of course you can also book your Thai hotel independently, which gives you the freedom to explore more than one destination. You could stay in a hotel in Chiang Mai to discover the jungles of northern Thailand for example and move to the southern resorts of Phuket or Krabi to enjoy the beaches and Thai islands.

Hotels in Thailand tend to be of a high standard and there is a huge selection from budget hostels to mid-range and top-end luxury hotels. The advantage of a hotel is that it offers more than just a roof over your head. Hotels provide a range of services including regular room cleaning, restaurants, bars, swimming pools, sports facilities and some even have a private beach. Hotels often provide on-site entertainment and child care facilities so that the kids can have fun while you relax with total peace of mind.

If you want to be pampered you can stay at one of the fabulous resorts that dot the Thai tourists areas. Thai resort hotels offer the ultimate in luxury accommodation with their own private beaches, spa facilities, golf courses, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools and beautiful private grounds. If you want complete relaxation a resort in Phuket, Krabi or Koh Samui could be perfect choice as you need never leave the complex during the entire length of your stay !
