Phuket was ranked high by Conde Nast reader’s for value for money and for people and hospitality.

578 film productions were made in Thailand in 2010, which was a five year high. This year 453 foreign productions had been shot up to August this year. This compares to 377 which were completed by this same time in 2010.

Total production value through 2010 was approximately $62.3 million. The country has generated more than half that through the third quarter – approximately $38 million. It is interesting to note January and June 2011 were the busiest months for foreign productions filming in Thailand.

Through the end of August 2011, Japanese productions topped the list filming in Thailand (86 productions), with Europe a close second (80) and India coming in third (76).

Production companies are coming to Thailand not just because of its locations, but to utilize Thai-based production services such as set construction, costume and make-up crafts, and post production work including sound and digital services.
