According to the Thailand Film Office (TFO), the country hosted a record-breaking 466 film and TV productions in 2023, with a total production expenditure of $186 million.
Thailand's appeal as a filming destination arises from its unique combination of stunning natural beauty, a skilled workforce, a talented pool of actors and crew, robust infrastructure, and film-friendly policies. In 2022, the Thai government enhanced its attractiveness by increasing its film incentive program to 20% of qualifying expenditures, accompanied by an additional cash rebate of up to 5% for hiring key Thai personnel or utilizing post-production services in Thailand. These policies aim to promote Thailand's positive image and showcase its diverse filming locations.
From March 11 to March 14, 2024, companies interested in connecting with Thai entertainment companies or acquiring Thai content are invited to visit the Thailand Pavilion at booth 1C-A13 at the Hong Kong International Film & TV Market (FILMART), located at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.
