Value for Money (3/10)

Despite the availability of luxury items and the excellent service, Thailand still represents excellent value for money. So if you’d like to experience a luxury holiday without breaking the bank it’s a good choice.

For groups of friends who are travelling together, or for special occasions such as a wedding or birthday celebration, hiring a vacation rental is another way to cut costs.

You can find luxury beachfront houses on the island of Koh Samui for a fraction of the price you’d pay in Australia, the USA or the UK.

If you do decide to hire a private villa you’ll be able to get even better value by hiring a personal chef to cater for you. A concierge can also be booked to take care of all your needs, including everything from shopping to booking trips and transport.

You could even organise someone dedicated to your health and wellbeing to give you massages and beauty treatments in your own private rental villa.
