🌏 From Bangkok to Hollywood: Thailand’s Blockbuster Moment

Hollywood studios have officially fallen in love with the Land of Smiles, pouring in a massive $395 million between 2022 and 2024 into 17 major film and TV projects.

• 🎥 Jurassic World: Rebirth
• 👽 Alien: Earth (FX/Hulu)
• 🦄 Mad Unicorn (Netflix)

Thailand isn’t just a pretty backdrop anymore — it’s becoming the global film hub everyone wants a piece of.

💡 How Thailand Became the Director’s Dream Set

• 🎬 Top-tier local crews
• 🏝️ Stunning, diverse locations
• 🤝 Strong government support

The government’s secret weapon? The “Thai Thai” philosophy — a mission to merge Thai creativity with world-class production standards.

🎯 The “Thai Thai” Vision: Global Meets Local

Deputy Permanent Secretary Chotika Akkrakitsophakul said:

“We’re here to break down every barrier and invest in the dreams of creators.”

She called it a new era — a creative renaissance — under Thailand’s “Quick Big Win” policy to attract more global film projects.

💰 So… What Does $395 Million Buy You?

That investment is fueling jobs, upgrading studios, supporting local filmmakers, and turning small provinces into mini-Hollywoods.

🧑‍🎬 The Industry Speaks: “Success Built in Thailand”

At the “Thailand’s Success Stories” event hosted by the MPA and ACE, producers of hits like How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies praised Thailand’s creative resources and film-friendly environment.

🛡️ Victory Over Pirates (Not the Jack Sparrow Kind)

Authorities just took down INWIPTV — Thailand’s biggest illegal IPTV service — in a massive operation called “DEV Shutdown.”

• 🚔 6 coordinated raids
• 💾 46 servers seized
• 📂 150+ pieces of evidence captured

“This is a model for protecting creators’ rights and boosting investor confidence,” said Larissa Knapp of the MPA.
