Airbnb makes finding accommodation less technical and boring, but creative and even exciting. Interesting and unusual housing options can be found not only around the world, but even in a single country. For example, in Thailand. Of course, the diversity is not so impressive, due to the peculiarities of the climate - it is not easy to make a house made of snow in the tropics, but still the choice is quite rich: from an ocean catamaran to a hobbit house and a Dutch mill. Personally, I was always attracted by tree houses and I almost spent the night in such a place near Chiang Mai once, but it did not grow together then. Hope next time.
