Thailand is a popular destination for tourists from around the world. The country, especially popular with digital nomads, attracted more than 11 million foreign visitors in 2022, most of whom go to relax on tropical beaches, have a cultural experience at Buddhist temples, or soak in the energy of bustling cities like Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

Tourist numbers began to increase significantly in the late 1980s, when the country opened up its economy and began to attract international visitors. That’s given the country four decades to build up its tourist infrastructure, including many stunning homes that can now be offered as Thailand Airbnb rentals.
While you can definitely find budget rentals in the country, from urban apartments to open-air bungalows, you can also find some of the most luxurious homes in Asia. Below, you’ll find seven options for a Airbnb in Thailand as luxurious and roomy as any hotel featured on “The White Lotus.” And many have hotel-style amenities like concierge services, daily housekeeping, and in-room spa services.
The Thailand Airbnbs below are listed in order from the least to most expensive starting nightly rate, though, of course, the nightly cost can change depending on the time of year.
We hope you love the spaces and stays we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.

This gorgeous Airbnb in Thailand is a perfect mix of traditional Thai architecture and western amenities. Most of the large, airy home is built with teak wood, including the main buildings and the massive outdoor living area by the pool. But if you’re worried traditional building styles may put you a little too close to nature, don’t worry — the bedrooms are closed and air conditioned, with huge beds, high ceilings, and doors that open to patios and lanais.
This home has lots of indoor and outdoor living space, and since two of the bedrooms are in their own cottages, it also has extra privacy for families or couples who may want to be away from other guests. One of the beast features, however, is probably the massive pool area with a hot tub. It has plenty of sun, plenty of loungers, and plenty of space for the whole group to socialize and relax. Considering it’s an Airbnb Plus home, it’s surprisingly to see such a relatively low starting price.

When I first visited Montreal, it was during a blizzard. I was in my 20s, at an inflection point in my life, and the weather felt portentous. Somewhere between having a smoked-meat sandwich at the counter of Schwartz's and barely making it up the charming but icy spiral staircases that are characteristic of the city's architecture, I fell hard for the place—though, luckily, not down the stairs. Before I knew it, I had abandoned my plans for grad school and moved to La Belle Province to start a new life.
