The Beach — Ko Phi Phi Don, Thailand

Jump to the full entry & travel map Ko Phi Phi Don, Thailand Welcome to the final continent on our itinerary, South East Asia. We’ve seen so much on our adventure so far but I have a feeling that South East Asia is still going to be to exceed expectation and bring us new wonders to marvel at.

Produced by Silvia Venturini Fendi of the famous Fendi family, and with characters dressed by Fendi and Jil Sander ‘s Raf Simons , the film is practically fashion porn. (And for fans of more traditional porn, there’s some of that, too!) Oscar-winner Swinton not only pulls off the whole film in Italian, but her character also requires her to do it with a Russian accent.
