Just read in the Bangkok Post that a staggering 359 movies were shot in Bangkok last year. That's about one per day (with one week off for good behaviour).I've blogged a lot about the movie Hangover 2 lately, but there's a whole bunch -- like around 358 -- I've obviously missed.
And outside Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai and Kanchanaburi are also popular locations. In fact Kanchanaburi (home of the River Kwai but ironically not where the famous movie Bridge on the River Kwai was filmed) is an up and coming starlet, with 28 movies filmed there last year.
Best known of those was The Scorpion King. Anyone who follows Korean culture and movies would also be familiar with Sunny, which was shot there.
Anyone know which other movies were filmed in Bangkok or Amazing Thailand?
The Beach at Koh PP

Ah yes, how could I forget The Beach. Haven't watched Bangkok Dangerous yet, but have read the book. Maybe I can do some blogs on BOOKS set in Thailand next?
