Thailand aims to draw over 1 billion baht (US$28 million) in investment from foreign filmmakers this year with multiple incentives for shooting their movies in Thailand.
Jaturon Phakdeewanich, director-general of the Department of Tourism, says that the Thailand Film Office will take part in the upcoming Hong Kong International Film and TV Market (HK Filmart 2024) from March 11-14.
At this year’s event, the Department of Tourism will set up a Content Thailand booth with the ministries of Culture and Commerce to promote the Thai film and television industry and persuade foreign movie production teams to Thailand.
The Department of Tourism would present information about filming locations and multiple incentive measures offered to foreign filmmaking crews, including a 20% cash rebate.
According to Jaturon the new investment would help stimulate the Thai economy, create more jobs for Thai film crews, and promote Thailand’s tourist attractions appearing in the movies.
