Thailand's spectacular natural environment and lively urban scene make it popular with overseas filmmakers, and big productions shot there in recent years include Hangover IIThe BeachThe Impossible and The Lady. The massive success of the Chinese movie Lost in Thailand in 2013 has resulted in a noticeable rise in the number of Chinese tourists.

"However, while international news may have spread alarm, the truth was that Thailand was fully open for business, and productions which visited Thailand were entirely unaffected." During the year, Thailand saw 122 productions from Europe, more than any year previously, and a record 37 productions from China. Credit and view full story at The Hollywood Reporter
