Thailand is well renowned for its beaches and coastline, which covers a little over 3,000km, as well as its sparkling, clear blue water, islands, and rocks that jut out of the water. In addition to this, Thailand has stunning mountainous areas, temples hidden in jungles and set a top mountain peaks, caves, waterfalls, swamps, gorgeous coastal roads and rice fields.

The mix of ancient culture and modern, city vibes make this a well sought after location for filmmakers.
