Thailand is a true year-round filming destination. While travel guides focus on “seasons,” professional productions shoot here 12 months a year without interruption. Even during the “green season,” the rain is remarkably predictable—usually arriving for a short window in the afternoon. We simply schedule our logistical moves or meal breaks during these times, ensuring the camera never stops rolling.
Why Other Countries Can’t Compete
This consistency gives Thailand a massive edge over global competitors. While production hubs in Europe or North America shut down due to freezing winters, Thailand remains fully operational. We don’t have an “off-season.” This allows us to keep slates moving when other territories are at a standstill.
Proof of this capability is in our volume: Our company produces 2-3 original feature films per year through our long-form department, while our production service department provides line production for an average of 10-12 films or TV series annually.
We handle this workload because we have multiple full-time line producers on staff who know exactly how to leverage Thailand’s 100+ sound stages and diverse geography (from the islands to the north) to deliver on schedule, regardless of the month.
Unmatched Location Diversity
Thailand offers a visual spectrum that few countries can match. From the expected to the completely surreal, we can double for almost anywhere in Asia or provide a look that is uniquely Thai.
Typical Locations:
- Modern Metropolises: Gleaming skyscrapers, luxury rooftop bars, and high-tech transit systems (BTS/MRT) that rival Tokyo or Singapore.
- Tropical Paradise: Pristine white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and luxury island villas.
- Lush Nature: Dense tropical jungles, emerald rice paddies, and cascading waterfalls.
- Colonial & Historical: 19th-century colonial mansions and traditional wooden Thai houses.
Unique & “Weird” Locations:
- The “Ghost Tower”: The abandoned Sathorn Unique skyscraper, offering a gritty, post-apocalyptic aesthetic.
- Limestone Karsts: Massive, alien-looking rock formations rising out of the ocean in Krabi and Phang Nga Bay.
- Floating Markets: Labyrinthine canals filled with vendors on wooden boats.
- Ancient Ruins: The crumbling, centuries-old temples of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai.
- Chinatown’s Neon Alleys: A dense, chaotic, and visually exploding maze of neon signs and street food stalls.

Thailand’s Film Rebate and Rebate Financing
Thailand offers a highly competitive 15-20% cash rebate on qualifying production spend. But we offer an advantage most others cannot: we can help cashflow this rebate. Through our private finance partners, we can provide early access to this capital, improving your project’s cash flow and de-risking the production before cameras even roll.
