Those Lonely Planet-clutching gap-year students are now in their late 30s and 40s and some have progressed to the level of hedge fund managers, law partners and corporate leaders. Cash-rich, time-poor, with families in struggling, what is their dream holiday home now?
Ambitious backpacker villas in Thailand developed on the Thai island of Koh Kood, within sight of the Cambodian mainland, promises to bring back memories of barefoot bliss for former backpackers, coupled with the comforts they have grown acclimatized to in business hotels.
These are holiday homes having prices to get even a hedge fund manager to choke on his pineapple. With backpacker villas in Thailand costing up to $7.5 million, they put sand in the face of other island developments in Barbados and the Seychelles.
Many people who have strung up a hammock outside many an inexpensive Thai beach hut, were intrigued to see these rather more luxurious versions on offer. Residents will dispense with the coconut boat to get aboard a private jet which takes 45 minutes from Bangkok airport. The fourth largest island in Thailand, Koh Kood is one of the least advanced, with three quarters of it covered with rainforest. A few small resorts are already placed into its coves - the exceptional bungalows are $60 a night - but any hint of cheap luggage is placed at a safe distance from these ambitious villa sites.
"Bamboo huts" of these ambitious villa sites are vast 400sq m (4,300sq ft) private backpacker villas in Thailand, built in eucalyptus, sustainably farmed teak, New Zealand pine and local bamboo, attaches with colonial style white pavilions. Each of these "bamboo huts" will have four to six bedrooms, an infinity pool and yoga sala in up to two acres of beach or hilltop land.
The cocktail of glamorous "extras" is enough to overwhelm the senses. You can anticipate in-villa gourmet dining, walk-in wine cellars, private steam rooms and gyms. You will also get treated with a butler service, and $100,000 worth of interior furnishings in the style of Dr Livingstone goes to Louis Vuitton.
But the reality is that bamboo huts are just too costly. However the people concerned at these ambitious backpacker villas in Thailand knows the international wealthy and are extremely confident that they can sell wooden beach backpacker villas in Thailand for $7 million plus. In Oman they argue, beach backpacker villas in Thailand are bought at a price of $15 million. Money attracts money, and the ambitious backpacker villas in Thailand on offer are nothing if not reassuringly expensive.
That said, the people at these ambitious backpacker villas in Thailand do not desire for the bling brigade. Really, they would go for a mix of nationalities: British and other northern European buyers, and limited numbers of Middle Eastern, Indian and Russian buyers so as not to form cultural cliques. Thai beach backpacker villas in Thailand without doubt are built keeping in mind the billionaire backpacker.
