Bangkok Travel & Hollywood Movie Scenes by JennyPlamondon for pimolpun

Bangkok is notoriously represented in the media. It has been a place where several prominent movies have been filmed, therefore drawing attention to this exotic city. Almost anyone can rise to the challenge of listing at least one movie that has at least one scene taking place in Bangkok. Take a moment and think for yourself; can you think of at least one?

The Hangover 3 

For many people, the first one that may come to mind is The Hangover 2 due to the fact that it was relatively recently released and because the movie had been so immensely popular. Other popular movies include James Bond, Bridget Jones’ Diary 2, and Bangkok Dangerous. But what brings all of these Hollywood movies to Bangkok? Is it really as exotic and fun as it seems?

The short answer is, yes. If you’re a movie buff and you’re looking to come visit some of the popular locations that these films were shot then you’re going to have a good time. Bangkok is an exciting city that can make anyone’s pulse race.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_single_image image=”3037″ css_animation=”fadeInUp” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_target=”_self” title=”Hangover Inline Sirocco – Thank you picture from travel.cnn.com” img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_single_image image=”3036″ css_animation=”fadeInUp” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_target=”_self” title=”Sirocco” img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]The most iconic scene within The Hangover 2 was the Sirocco restaurant on the 64th view. It boasts an incredible view that you’ll never forget. The restaurant is high class and the bar even has a “Hangovertinis” that had been specially made for the cast and crew of the movie during filming. This location was already quite popular before the release of the movie and has become more so in the years afterward.

James Bond (the Man with the Golden Gun)

In Man with the Golden Gun (James Bond), the movie has a fight scene between James Bond and some bad guys through the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Lumpini Stadium also makes an appearance early on in the movie and despite the fact that it’s retained the same look since this 1974 flick; it still has a very authentic experience.

Although the aforementioned locations are just a small sample of scenes shot within Bangkok, there are many more that you can discover. What’s a more exhilarating experience than going to a location where your favourite movie was shot? [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
