Thailand continues to attract high profile global productions. These titles show what the country can support: large sets, heavy action, complex logistics, high crew counts, and full service production.

The White Lotus Season Three
HBO filmed the entire third season in Thailand. Locations include Ko Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok. Resorts, beaches, and city streets appear across the show. The production worked with Thai crews and confirmed the country as a premium destination for scripted series.

Alien: Earth
Disney filmed Alien: Earth across Bangkok, Krabi, Phang Nga, Surat Thani, and Prachuap Khiri Khan. Thailand doubled for alien landscapes and futuristic settings. The project used Thai art teams, set builders, stunt teams, and logistics at a scale that shows the strength of the local industry.

Extraction 2
Netflix shot major sequences in Thailand. Bangkok, Krabi, and Phang Nga appear in the film. Thailand supported intense action scenes, fight units, water work, and large crowd setups. The country gave the production strong visual identity.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Marvel Studios filmed segments of the series in Bangkok and along the Chao Phraya River. Thai units supported action setups, night shoots, and vehicle work. The production confirmed that Thailand can match international technical standards.

F9: The Fast Saga
The franchise filmed action scenes in Krabi and Surat Thani. Thailand provided cliffs, jungle, rivers, and safe access for high speed stunts. Local crews supported rigs, effects, and complex setups.

Kong: Skull Island
Although older, this film remains a key reference. Thailand offered Phang Nga, Krabi, and jungle regions that defined the look of the movie. Thai crews built practical sets and supported large scale units.

These productions show that Thailand can support the full range of international shoots, from prestige drama to blockbuster action.

Usually, no. Most productions are better off bringing only the key creatives or HODs they specifically want and hiring the rest of the film crew in Thailand. We build the local crew around your production rather than handing you a standard roster — DP department, ADs, production, art, grip, electric, sound, wardrobe, HMU, locations, transport and specialist teams as required. Thailand’s official production system is set up for local coordinators to recruit crews and technical services for foreign productions.

Yes. We handle casting in Bangkok and across Thailand for films, series, commercials, reality productions and vertical dramas. Give us character breakdowns, languages, accents, age ranges, references and any casting restrictions; we’ll tell you what can realistically be cast locally and which roles may be smarter to bring in. The goal is not “local casting” for its own sake. It is finding the right person without adding unnecessary travel to the budget.

We regularly search for Thai, Asian, Western and international talent in Thailand, including English-speaking roles and mixed international ensembles. For a producer, the important part is to start casting early enough to see the real pool before deciding that six supporting actors need flights from Los Angeles.

Sometimes. If the exact lens set, specialist rig or proprietary equipment matters creatively, bring it. If you are flying in something Bangkok can supply locally, you may just be paying airline cargo and customs costs for the privilege. Professional equipment can qualify for temporary import under the ATA Carnet system, subject to the applicable customs rules and your country’s participation. Give us the equipment list before departure and we can tell you what we would rent in Thailand and what we would bring.

Thailand gives you access to full cinema gear. Rental houses in Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai carry top brands and full professional support. You get high quality cameras, lenses, lighting, grip, and specialty tools at a competitive cost.

Equipment arrives fast and can scale to any production size.

Bring the people whose creative relationship with the director genuinely matters. Everything else deserves a conversation before you buy the flights. On some films that means director, DP and production designer; on another, the DP may be Thai and only the director travels. We can compare the Thailand crew cost against your travelling-crew cost before you lock the package — including flights, hotels, per diems, visas and work permits, not just day rates.

Yes. Thailand has an established production equipment sector, and the Thailand Film Office maintains a directory specifically for local film equipment and production facilities. Our preference is simple: send us your camera, lens, lighting, grip and sound wish list first. We price the closest local package, flag anything unusual, and only recommend bringing equipment from abroad when there is a good reason to carry it halfway around the world.

Yes, but the paperwork matters. Foreign filmmakers working in Thailand need the appropriate employment authorization; the Thailand Film Office currently distinguishes between work of up to 15 days, which follows a notification procedure, and work longer than 15 days, which requires a work permit. We prefer to know exactly who is travelling during prep — adding a crew member at the airport is a much less charming production problem.
