New website showcases Thai villas

The website, called Thailand Villas, presents properties in major Thai destinations and can be found at www.holidayvillasthailand. com.

Koh Samui, Hua Hin, Phang Nga and Phuket are among the popular destinations featured. Each location has its own section and then each villa its own page, with large pictures and property information, from pricing to bedroom layouts and distances from the villa to local points of interest.

"The time couldn't be more right for this new offshoot devoted just to Thailand," marketing director Ben Tuff said in a statement.

"It's one of our fastest-growing destinations, with good reason. The quality of villa you can get there for your money is mind-blowing."

Most villas in Thailand include staff - some with a chef - and all are updated with amenities that are modern and stylish despite retaining a distinctly Thai feel. The properties feel even more decadent because of the gorgeous scenery - Thailand has an abundance of beaches and lush hills.

Guests booking through the website are extended the same privileges as the company's other clients.

They can prearrange services and activities like car rentals and snorkelling tours through Luxury Retreats' complimentary concierge service.

"And when the villa is so affordable, it leaves you more leeway to add on those little details that make a vacation so special," said Tuff.
