DESTINATION GUIDES
Where would you
like life to take you?
Four distinct ways to live well in Thailand. Explore the lifestyle around the address before you choose the home.
01 / THAILAND
Phuket
Private-villa living, fully connected.
For buyers who want a tropical home without giving up an international routine, Phuket brings together pool-villa privacy, considered dining and established international education. Layan and the north-west coast offer a compelling base for resort living.
Education
UWC Thailand offers the full IB continuum and day and boarding options. Explore British International School, Phuket as another established option.
THE PRIVELZA CONSIDERATION
Test the school run and the routes you will use most often from the actual residence. A coastal outlook and a convenient daily routine do not always come together.
02 / THAILAND
Bangkok
A cosmopolitan base with depth.
For an owner whose life moves between business, culture and exceptional dining, Bangkok offers a different expression of luxury. Choose a riverfront address for a sense of retreat, or a central home that keeps the city close.
Dining
Sorn in Sukhumvit 26 offers a focused expression of Southern Thai fine dining. The city makes it possible to build a rich dining routine around a carefully chosen neighbourhood.
Education
NIST offers the full IB continuum at Sukhumvit 15. Shrewsbury International School Bangkok offers a British educational pathway. Check the specific campus and admissions requirements.
THE PRIVELZA CONSIDERATION
Choose a school and daily commute before choosing the address. Visit the neighbourhood at the hours you would actually use it, including the evening.
03 / THAILAND
Koh Samui
Room for a different rhythm.
Samui rewards buyers who prize privacy, sea views and a more unhurried pace. Villa living sits alongside destination resort dining, with an international school option for families considering a longer stay.
Dining
KOH Thai Kitchen at Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui offers Southern Thai flavours in a resort setting. Reservations and access should be checked directly.
Education
International School of Samui serves ages 3–18 with a British and Cambridge curriculum. Confirm the appropriate year group, admissions and transport arrangements.
THE PRIVELZA CONSIDERATION
Check the practical realities of your preferred hillside or coastal location, including access in wet weather, maintenance and the air connections you need.
04 / THAILAND
Hua Hin
Golf, wellbeing and room to settle.
Hua Hin suits owners drawn to a quieter coastal rhythm: golf in the hills, long lunches by the sea and room for family life. It is a destination to consider for extended stays rather than a constant city tempo.
Leisure and dining
Black Mountain offers 27 holes of golf. McFarland House provides beachfront resort dining at The Barai and Hyatt Regency Hua Hin.
Education
Hua Hin International School follows an English curriculum through Year 9, Cambridge IGCSE and the IB Diploma. Confirm the current programme and availability directly.
THE PRIVELZA CONSIDERATION
Spend time in the area beyond a weekend. Consider the school journey, your preferred golf club, healthcare and how often you will travel to Bangkok.
