The South of
Thailand is a premier beach resort destination and it would come as no surprise
that some Hollywood superstars have acquired luxury property in this region.
Idyllic beaches in stunning tropical locations are a very attractive
proposition for any person, and here are a few of the celebrities that visit
Thailand on a regular basis and are known to have made property investments.
- Brad
Pitt – Brad has made no
secret of his love of the South of Thailand, and it is rumoured that he
purchased a stunning property that nestles into the cliffs in Phuket, and this
is a place that he loves to visit when he isn’t filming. Brad likes his privacy
when off the film set, so it is no surprise that he doesn’t advertise his
holiday home in Phuket, but if you are walking along Patong Beach, don’t be
surprised if Brad passes while on a morning jog run. - The
Beckhams – Both David and
Victoria have a soft spot for Thailand, and who could blame them? They
reportedly paid more than one million dollars for a superb luxury property with
one of the best views in Phuket, plus their holiday home is very secure, as you
would expect with such a popular couple. David has been seen kicking a ball
around on Phuket beaches, and if you are lucky, you might get a selfie with the
ex-footballer, which would be something to cherish. - Stephen
Seagal – This very popular
action movie star has often remarked that he feels he has a special bond with
Thailand and its colourful culture, so it is no surprise that he owns at least
one home in the Land of Smiles. Stephen met with the Thai Prime Minister after
the passing of King Rama IX to pass on his condolences and he has mentioned he
plans to shoot several movies in Thailand in the next few years. Not all
celebrities buy property, rather they book time at one of the exclusive luxury beach
villas in Thailand
and they quietly come and go without informing the paparazzi. - Johnny
Depp – This handsome actor
has a superyacht that is often moored in Phuket or Koh Samui, and it is
rumoured that he acquired a luxury condo on Samui Island, which he uses as a
base while island hopping. I wonder if Johnny dresses up in his pirate costume
while sailing in the Andaman Sea? The setting is perfect and his superyacht
really does look the part. - Mick
Jagger – This iconic
musician has been spending time in Thailand for many years, and it is believed
that he purchased a large property near Krabi, which is a quiet tourist town
not far from Phuket. We cannot be sure that he still owns the stunning
bungalow, but he certainly visits the South of Thailand as often as he can, and
with his wealth, a few million dollars is a small price to pay for a luxury
holiday home.
If you would like
to take a holiday in Phuket, search online for luxury beachfront villas that can
be rented for the duration of your stay, and make sure you have your smartphone
with you while out and about, as you could easily bump into a celebrity.
