Foreign films about Thailand or shot in Thailand

Incredible nature and snow-white beaches attract not only tourists from around the world. The filmmakers penetrated the beauty of Thailand long before the tourist boom. Thanks to foreign films, some attractions have become very popular. Their own atmosphere can differ significantly from what was shown on the screen. And, of course, the Thais themselves, their life and morals are far from reality. Plots also do not need to analyze and compare with what you have seen in the journey. Movies worth seeing for a beautiful picture. Especially if the scenario takes place on the beaches and islands.

The film with Leonardo di Caprio is perhaps one of the most popular. He was filmed in Bangkok, on Phuket and Phui Phi. During the shooting, the actors lived at Cape Panwa Hotel in Phuket and went to Maya’s bay every day. For a beautiful picture on the beach of the bay, palm trees landed and did not remove after the end of the filming, because of what a big scandal happened. Part of the frames of Bangkok were filmed on the Bekpeker Street Khao San. Hostel, in which the chief hero was given the map, is located in Phuket Town on Phang Nga Street. Now it was completely rebuilt and called the Memory at on ON Hotel. A beautiful waterfall from the film is located in Khao Yai National Park, not far from Bangkok.

"Man with a golden pistol"

Part of the film was filmed in Bangkok: Racchadamnen Stadium, exciting chase on cars and boats through the Capital Channels. And the most famous shots were made in the Bay of Phang Nga with dozens of islets. In 1974, all the beauty of the bay was impossible to convey. If they were filmed now, be sure to shoot a shot from drone. After the film, the popularity of excursions in the Bay of Phang Nga has increased. And an unusual island with a statement base called in honor of the agent 007, and not in honor of his owner of Francisco Scratamy. Even long-tailed boats for a long time called James Bond boats.

"Tomorrow will never die"

This is the second film Bondiad, shot in Thailand. According to the scenario, the plot unfolds in Vietnam. But filming moved to Bangkok instead of Saigon. One of the bright scenes of the film – James Bond jump and Wei Lin from a skyscraper. The Sinn Sathorn Tower significant place is still towers in Bangkok, on the left bank of the Chaopraya River. And part of the scenes were filmed in the Bay of Phang Nga. Sightseeing ship with red sails can still be seen in the bay.

I only learned Song Sun-Fucks near the Tai Hua Museum (this is a house where American soldiers catch out) and the lanes behind the market on Ranong Street.

"Kickboxer"

One of the best militants shot in Thailand. You can even forgive the typical stereotypes of foreigners about Thai and their martial arts. Jean-Claude Van Damm Yun, the plot simple, the picture is beautiful – such a combination, perhaps, promoted many Americans to go to Thailand and study Muay Thai. In the film you will see the country in the 80s. Even now you can find a cafe that preserved the atmosphere of that time.

"Impossible"

The film about the tsunami is based on the real history of the family from Spain. He was filmed in Kao Lake, at the hotel Orchid Beach Resort. This area suffered from Tsunami most. The wave went deep into the mainland by 2 kilometers, throwing the military ship T813 ashore. He still stands in the area of ​​Bang Niang near the Tsunami Museum. Element did not spare even the royal family. The first son of the current king Frame X died on a yacht in Kao Lake. The film itself went to the screens in 2014, and the filming took place in 2009. I even passed the casting into the crowd, but could not go.

Near Phuket Two Hong Islands: One – in the Bay of Phang Nga, the other – closer to the mainland crab. The first is the caves where you can swim only on kayak. The second as if desired with thailand advertising: azure water without waves, white sand and rocks around, crumpled vegetation, – 100% pure beauty. our film with Sergey Svetlakov and faith of Brezhnev took off just in the corrup.

The film is based on the memories of Anna Leonews. The British teacher came to Siam to teach English wives and children Rama IV. The shooting process was not palpted first. Producers could not agree with the Thai government: the scenario was rewritten several times, but did not receive permission for the film. Removing transferred to Malaysia, to the city of IPO. In Thailand "Anna and King" I did not come out. It is forbidden to show due to the falseness of the plot, the misfortune of the royal family.

"Bridget Jones: the faces of reasonable"

This film is not at all about Thailand, but his part was filmed in Bangkok and on the Phuket Beach Naya Yang. Spectators show "Exotic": Massage salon with girls in swimsuits on soy cowboy, eating grasshoppers, Bangkok Muskashnitsy, lunch with hallucinogenic mushrooms right on sand. Those bamboo huts where the Bridget with her friend lived, no longer. They were demolished several years ago, when the beaches were cleared of illegal buildings. The film shows the floating village of Panya. At first, the heroes are driving near her long-boring boat, and then dinner in the restaurant. A chic hotel where Daniel stopped, at the time of the shooting was called Pearl Village, and now it is The Slate. And classic making a reference to the film "Bangkok Hilton", – Drugs B "Gift" From a unconscious man.

"Land of change"

The comedy drama was filmed on Phuket and in the surrounding. The main character is experiencing a crisis in his marriage. To distract from problems, he invites the best friend to go to Thailand.

It is there that there is a famous observation deck with a view of the sandy braid, connecting three parts of the island, a wooden pier and other locations.

Mini series released NetFlix in 2021. The story is based on the real events that took place in Bangkok in the mid-1970s. The main hero on the nicknamed snake kills tourists on "Hippie trail" for money, passports or because of fear of being revealed.

American drama once again shows the tragic destiny of foreign tourists in Thailand. Two girlfriends went to Bangkok, met with a young guy and decided to go to Hong Kong to the weekend. Only from Thailand girls did not fly out. On the border, the customs officers found drugs and directly from the airport sent to prison. In the course of the film there is an attempt to escape, and corruption is revealed by Thai police and officials. Producers failed to get permission to shoot the entire film in Thailand due to a critical perspective. Most scenes removed in the Philippines.

"Love in the big city 2"

Thailand in the film a little. A pair of frames of Bangkok and a little Pattaya. The temple of the truth was turned into a monastery with the goddess of fertility, added computer graphics to place it on the rock. In fact, knowledgeable tourists for children go to the goddess of Pranag on the eponymous beach in the province of Krabi and to Sanctuza Titput at Mövenpick BDMS.

"Dangerous Bangkok"

American remake with Nicholas Cage Thai film turned out to be frankly failure. The main character is very slow, and the picture is quite dark. I advise you to see both films and compare. Scenes on the floating market and pursuit by boats across Bangkok canals in the American drama look.

"Stuff"

Danish drama is similar to typical history of European tourists of middle-aged in Thailand. A man living with his mother comes to Pattaya in the hope of starting a relationship with a Thai girl.
