With the holiday season just around the corner, travel planning is trending to domestic this year. Thais and residents are increasingly looking for new and diverse experiences closer to home, and are keen to explore their local neighbourhoods and communities.
As part of its “Stay ไทย Style เรา” (Stay Thai, Your Style) domestic travel campaign, Airbnb is shining the light on some of Thailand’s most unique stays available on its platform. Ranging from art galleries and treehouses in the city to bubble tents by the beach, we take a look at stays with a difference in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket that are perfect for your year-end getaway.
Artist’s House and Gallery, Bangkok, Thailand
If it feels like you’re staying in a gallery, it’s because you are. Designed by an artist and architect, this Spanish colonial-style house, with its curved arches, antique furniture and original artwork, doubles as the host’s private handmade tiles factory and showroom.
