Millions of tourists flock to Bangkok every year, and now a resort 2 hours outside the city has been named the world's 'best private villa' for $150,000 a week

The Private Villa is located in Rayong, Thailand, on the Gulf of Thailand. It's about a two-hour drive from the closest airport in Bangkok.

The 150,000-square-foot property has seven private villas and can host up to 14 people at once.

A rep for the resort told Business Insider that the property is often rented out by families, groups of friends, companies holding small corporate events, and couples for weddings.

But it'll cost you: the resort can be rented out for week-long intervals, starting at $150,000 per week.

The resort prides itself on its privacy and has referred to itself as a "private getaway" ...

... which makes sense in the scheme of tourism in Thailand. After all, Bangkok took the top spot in Mastercard's Global Cities Index in 2016, 2017, and 2018 alike, which measures the rise of fall of travel within 162 cities worldwide.

So, while a private and luxurious space like the one offered by The Resort Villa doesn't come cheap, it does offer a seemingly rare opportunity for exclusivity in an otherwise highly-trafficked tourist destination.

And, with views like this, it's hard to resist.
