Making Movies in Thailand

TRANSFORMERS – DARK OF THE MOON

I saw TRANSFORMERS this weekend. We were fortunate to be a part of the production. We were called to work on background plates at Angkor Wat. One week of work for a very short scene. It was my first time at Angkor Wat. What a great place to film and one of the reasons why Southeast Asia is so attractive to film makers.

Drummer for the band “Ga-Pi Dub Kitchen” playing last night at club Motorcycle Emptiness

There is a thriving underground music scene in BKK. This night reminded me of San Francisco in the mid-sixties.

HANGOVER II was filmed here in Thailand. We are proud to have played a small part in the production.

On the set.

Most people think of us for film and video but we do lots of still photography shoots. Today, a Nivea shoot with Living Films in BKK.

What every expat male in BKK should have.

These amazing Face-Block-Out sunglasses allow one to stroll about in areas where one shouldn’t be or hang out in public with your “friend” in total anonymity.

We recently trucked our crew and equipment to Cambodia for a big television commercial for HSBC Bank. We do a lot of work in Cambodia since the infrastructure for film making is still in its infancy there. We are often called upon to provide technical services and crew.

I hate this commercial!

Why I hate it. The message is, come to Thailand, meet a girl, get your thumbs cut off and then have police laugh at you. Amazing Thailand! Plus its gross.

TRON Boat on the Chao Praya River

One of the fun things to do in Bangkok is to go on a riverboat dinner cruise. The Chao Praya River is beautiful at night. I have been on several different cruises. They are all reasonably priced and the food is excellent. This boat is from the River Side Hotel and serves buffet style and has live music.
