Experience Thailand in vacation home rentals
Treat your senses with a trip to Thailand, a hedonist's playground, a foodie paradise, and a culture vulture's dream, all rolled into one. Famous for full moon parties on the beach, frenetic market experiences, and adrenaline-inducing tuk-tuk rides, Thailand delivers so much, whether you explore its many natural wonders, get in touch with its spiritual side, or sample its epicurean delights. Thailand vacation rentals mean you don't have to choose when it comes to exploring everything this colorful, charming country has to offer—instead you can take it all in at your own pace.
Tourist attractions near vacation rentals in Thailand
Thailand is a traveler's mecca and there's more to see here than you could possibly fit into one short vacation, but Thailand vacation rentals give you the time and the space needed to explore as much of this beguiling country as possible. Buddhism forms the heart of Thailand's unique culture, and a visit to some of the country's temples will open any traveler's eyes. Wat Phra Kaew is perennially popular in Bangkok, but Wat Pho has smaller crowds and is just as impressive. Phimai Historical Park is home to Thailand's most notable Khmer ruins, while just north of Bangkok you'll find the beautiful national parks of Erawan, and Khao Yai.
What to do near vacation homes in Thailand
Thailand has more activities than you shake the proverbial stick at. Practice your chopstick skills by going on a food tour of Bangkok, or learn to whip up a Thai-style storm in the kitchen by taking a cooking course. If your idea of Thailand vacation rentals involves more in the way of white sand beaches and crystalline waters, then you won't be disappointed; snorkeling and diving are two of the most popular activities in Thailand, especially off the southern coast, while beach bums will be just as happy hanging out on the sand. Keen hikers meanwhile might want to try trekking in the north of the country.
Best time to travel to vacation homes in Thailand
Thailand's year is divided into three distinct seasons, rather than the usual four. The rainy season runs from May to October, the cool season from November to February, and the hot season from March to May. Most visitors choose to come in the cool season, when temperatures still rise to a very warm 86°F, with temperatures soaring to over 95°F in the hot season. Travelers are often put off Thailand during the rainy season, although if you do choose to visit then, you'll likely find it to be less crowded, and won't experience non-stop rain—you'll get an hour or two each day.
Beaches near vacation rentals in Thailand
The beautiful beaches of Thailand are one of its biggest draws. Vacation homes are available near places like Phi Phi Islands, an island group with white-sand beaches and seaside amenities, and Pa Tong, a beach area with tranquil waters, clean sand, and vibrant nightlife. You'll also like Railay Beach, a remote beach on a peninsula with limestone cliffs that’s popular for climbing and scuba diving.
Must-try foods in Thailand
Thai cuisine favors lightly prepared dishes with strong flavors and a spicy touch. Signature dishes in Thailand include tom yam goong, pad Thai, som tam, massaman curry, green curry, and Thai fried rice, though you'll find a rich mix of flavors and ingredients. Whether you want authentic Thai food or a unique fusion dish, you'll have endless options in restaurants near your vacation rental.
