subject: A Guide To Thailand Holiday Homes [print this page] Thailand has firmly established itself as a premier holiday destination for tourists from all around the world. The number of tourists visiting Thailand proves that fact. Also on the increase is the amount of people buying or renting Thailand holiday homes. The argument for owning or renting a Thailand holiday home is quite obviously clear cut when you consider the high costs of staying in hotels and the lower standard of accommodation.
Finding your dream Thailand holiday home is easy thanks to the huge range of properties available on the market. From a small beach hut on a secluded island, to a downtown apartment in the city, it is all available. Literally, there is something available for everyone.
Phuket and Pattaya are the most popular places for Thailand holiday homes. This however has meant that the costs for properties in these areas has increased recently, though good deals are still available with proper research. Great deals are to be had if you are willing to avoid these very popular cities, as the property prices on the market there are disproportionately high to the size of the lot.
Fortunately, there are plenty of locations that offer the same benefits as Phuket and Pattaya (i.e. beautiful beaches, clear blue sea, exquisite restaurants, shopping malls, etc.), but which are less commercialized and so less expensive.
