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 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.
