ttthailand Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Who are the famous people from around the world that call Thailand home ? Has any famous western actors, doctors, writers, businessmen, rock stars have Thai wives or live here full or part time? I just wonder if this country really attracts the cream or is it just the common man and lady who come and live here ..... I know many visit but who stays .... Just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttthailand Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Bangkok is a huge city and has history, Phuket has some very nice beaches and on the higher end of tourist areas as some would say.... You would think that these features would attract more famous people... Or would you ? Why don't more come to stay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BigBadGeordie Posted January 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm pretty sure Andy McNab lives in Thailand For sure he does, and he still has the amazing ability to change his appearance (it seems at will). For I have met/seen/heard him talking in many many Pattaya bars. Thought he would have been a little more low profile though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
