Thailand is paradise in every sense of the word. This is why it’s not surprising that hundreds of movies have been filmed in almost every corner of the beautiful country. So if you’re an aspiring filmmaker, you know that this is one of the best places to find a location for your shoot.
To make things easier for you, we rounded up five of the best shooting locations in Thailand that you’ve probably seen in films:
- Soi Cowboy
If you’re a fan of “The Hangover” saga, then you probably remember that scene where the men ended up in a bar named Siam Sam’s. This was actually shot in the famous entertainment district in Bangkok called Soi Cowboy. Here, you can find a long line of clubs, bars and everything in between. Expect overflowing drinks, a great crowd and some not-your-ordinary entertainment when visiting this part of Bangkok.
- The Grand Palace
Everyone who visits Bangkok doesn’t miss seeing the grandeur of The Grand Palace. This majestic structure has even made a few appearances in commercials, TV series’ and films because of its beauty. But you might remember The Grand Palace best in the movie “Around the World in 80 Days.”
- Krabi
Located in the Southern part of Thailand, Krabi is most famous for its beautiful beaches and limestone cliffs that make it a favourite location among local and international filmmakers. But Krabi’s cliffs are most known for being part of several scenes in “Fast and Furious 9.” Of course, it doesn’t hurt to go on a little holiday here after shooting your film since it’s one of the most relaxing places in all of Thailand.
- Maya Bay
Perhaps the most popular beach in Thailand, Maya Bay is most known for being the location of “The Beach” that starred Leonardo DiCaprio. In the film, you’ll see not only the crystal clear water on the beach but also the beautiful rock formations in the background. Since then, Maya Bay has attracted a steady stream of tourists who want to swim in the same waters Mr. DiCaprio did.
- Phang Nga Bay
Of course, this list wouldn’t be complete without the famous “James Bond Island” in Phuket. Phang Nga Bay became the location for the 1974 James Bond installation “The Man with the Golden Gun.” Since then, the name has stuck and tourists flock the island to see its stunning caves and limestone formations that were first seen on the film.
