Thailand emerging as a popular holiday destination

Thailand is emerging as a favoured destination for Brits looking to take a break, it has been revealed.

According to luxury travel company Kuoni, the Asian destination offers visitors a wealth of culture and exciting sights to explore.

Jemma Purvis, a spokesperson for the company, explained that it had been busy over the Easter break, with many families looking to explore the up-and-coming destination.

"It is popular due to its vast diversity and great value, with many hotels providing facilities for children. They will also be kept entertained by stunning beaches and amazing sights," she explained.

In addition, Ms Purvis claimed that bespoke properties were proving to be popular among individuals visiting the country.

The news may be of interest to real estate investors in Thailand who are looking to rent out their properties to overseas holidaymakers.
