In March 2017, American actress Lindsay Lohan enjoyed a luxurious holiday in Thailand, where she spent some time exploring the islands around Phuket and luxuriating at Sri Panwa before heading north to Amanpuri. She posted pictures of herself paddleboarding and soaking up the sun on a private river cruise.
Thailand has welcomed a myriad of stars to its plethora of luxury hotels and villas in recent years, including Kate Moss, Blake Lively, Jay Z, Beyonce, Naomi Campbell, Zayn Malik, Damien Hirst, the Kardashians and Bear Grylls, who has supposedly bought a house there.
Aside from the famously lively nightlife, Phuket is a hot spot for incredible natural landscapes and ancient culture. Nature lovers mustn't miss the Gibbon Rehabilitation Centre or the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park's waterfalls. Phang Nga Bay is also a must visit, as is the Big Buddha seated atop the Nakkerd Hills.
The Ao Po Grand Marina in Phuket, located at the gateway to the Phang Nga Bay, has 300 berths and can host luxury yachts over 100 metres. Additionally, there are a number of good anchorages around the island's south and south-western coastlines.
