Beckhamania in Phuket

PHUKET: -- Rumours that England and Los Angles Galaxy football star David Beckham and family are to visit Phuket have thrown the resort island into a frenzy.

Beckham, one of the world's most recognisable sporting personalities, plans to holiday on Phuket with wife Victoria and three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

The news was leaked to local news media, which have spent the past week tracking down where the family will stay.

Telephones at five-star hotels rang non-stop as unsuccessful inquiries were made as to his whereabouts.

Cape Panwa is considered a prime candidate, but the hotel denies the speculation. Neither Beckham nor the Thailand Football Association has made a reservation, the hotel said.

"Maybe Becks will stay there but has asked the hotel not to let on for reasons of personal privacy," one local reporter said.

You can imagine the newspaper headlines '''Posh's Phuket'''','''''Golden Balls on the Golden Sand'''',well at least it might bring in a few more tourists,as it's low season.

The downside of fame...cannot go on vacation without bringing bodyguards.

The downside of fame...cannot go on vacation without bringing bodyguards.

Just so that someone can say, "I wonder who that is, they must be famous!"

Actually, if a gang had been sentenced to jail for planning to kidnap my kid to extort money, I would make sure to bring bodyguards with me too.
