Airbnb expands into Thailand
======================

Airbnb, the global provider of online booking for vacation rentals and other short-term accommodations, today announced its continuing expansion into Southeast Asia with the beginning of focused efforts in Thailand.


Airbnb will focus on engaging with its rapidly-growing community in Bangkok and throughout Thailand, as guest nights booked in Thailand through Airbnb's platform have nearly quadrupled just in 2012.

"Airbnb is about creating unique, memorable experiences, and we're seeing a huge increase in demand in Thailand and across Asia," says co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Nathan Blecharczyk. "Thailand is one of the premier travel destinations in the world, and Thai people are also traveling abroad at increasing rates, so Thailand will be a crucial market for us as we continue to grow."

The announcement followed the fact that the number of Airbnb guest nights booked by Thai people travelling has increased 270 per cent in 2012, with the most popular destinations being Hong Kong, Paris, New York, Amsterdam, Rome, and London. Through Airbnb, guests from 98 different countries around the world can book accommodations in Thailand. Airbnb has over 1300 listings in Thailand, including 400 in Bangkok, 250 in Phuket, and 170 in Koh Samui.

To support the rapid growth in Thailand, Airbnb has tabbed Ole Ruch as manager of the Southeast Asia region. The team focused on Thailand will work to better support hosts and guests in the market, assisting in managing listings, bookings, and educating users about the Airbnb process.
