The Hollywood production team of the famous film “The Jurassic World 4 (SAGA)” is expected to boost tourism to Thailand’s Trang, Phang-nga, and Krabi. Meanwhile, the national park authorities will monitor the filming to protect the natural resources and minimize environmental impact in the long run.
Mr. Attaphol Charoenchansa, Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, says that the film crew has already sent a letter requesting to use the national park area for filming a movie titled “SAGA.”
Pol. Gen. Patcharawat Wongsuwan, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment adds that that there should be no impact on natural resources and the environment, asking the film crew to take care of the environment, not to make any modifications, to conduct environmentally friendly filming, and to make it a low-carbon film production in line with Thailand’s environmental policies. The team understands this because they have learned from the filming of “The Beach.”
Wongsuwan expects the movie to earn 200-300 million baht upon release. He expects the global audience’s interest in “Jurassic World 4” to draw attention to Trang’s marine beauties, especially the locations featured in the movie.
The public and government officials have become more cautious about maintaining a balance between environmental conservation and economic and tourism development since the filming of the movie “The Beach,” which was shot at Maya Bay, part of the Phi Phi archipelago off the coast of Krabi province in 1998 and released in 2000.
