Troubled UK tabloid favorite Pete Doherty is rumored to heading to Thailand (again) to get over his long time addiction to drink and drugs.
The musician, who famously dated supermodel Kate Moss, has booked a stay at the £7,700 a month Cabin in Chiang Mai, according to the Daily Mail.
It is not the first time Doherty has tried to use Thailand to beat what is believed to be a long-standing heroin addiction. In 2004 he travelled to Wat Tham Krabok but left after only a few days unable to cope with the strict regime which included daily vomiting sessions.
That rehab attempt would seem to be an abject failure, as Dohery was filmed doing heroin in a Phuket hotel room with Kate Moss three years later.
He is likely to find The Cabin a little more luxurious although than Wat Tham Krabok, as the British media have pointed out.
Two British television presenters recently had successful spells at The Cabin this year with Michael Barrymore reported as being sober since a stint there by The People. Gail Porter also spent time recovering in Chiang Mai after a well publicized breakdown and afterwards she told The Daily Mail she had ‘turned a corner’ in her recovery.
