The diversity of Thailand simply mesmerizes me! From sun-kissed shores and enchanting temples to vibrant markets and breath-taking islands, I think those are reasons enough to whisk away to Thailand right away. Thanks to its strategic location, it’s a 5-hour flight from India and it definitely features high on everyone’s bucket list! Extravagant hotels and luxury resorts doubtlessly dot the shores of the country, however, holidaying in a typical room is so cliched. 2017 is all about glitzy villas and infinity pools! And what’s a vacation without some enticing Instagram posts.
LuxuryLaunches brings you Thailand’s most enticing villas that are indeed Instagram-worthy!
