Showcasing the Best to Global Guests

In today’s fast-paced world where people are connected 24/7, the personal touch can sometimes be missing, especially during the travel experience. For Airbnb Hosts, sharing their passion for the destination, local neighbourhood and community of which they are part with guests is something they do for the many local and international guests they welcome into their homes over the years.

Airbnb’s five Most Hospitable Hosts achieved 100% 5-star ratings in Cleanliness, Check-in and Communication and had a minimum of 100 reviews. Below, they share their insights on what makes a great Host and what guests are looking for when they travel to and around Thailand.

Piya Boontarig

Bangkok’s Most Hospitable Host, Piya Boontarig (Tor), has welcomed guests to his stylish private house in Bangkok since 2014. With a desire to reinvent and repurpose his parents’ house and to connect with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds, Tor counts many of his guests as friends, and his first experience being an Airbnb Host is one that he remembers to this day. “My first memory of hosting was of my first guests, who were two Chinese artists – we exchanged our paintings during their stay. This is my first memory of Airbnb and one I cherish. I also recall hosting three elderly Americans and because of their age, I spent a lot of time with them making sure they had a great experience. And after they returned home we kept in touch. They have since invited me to stay at their house and to this day they still send New Year cards.”
