Expanding into Thailand as a Service Production Partner was a considered next step for electriclime°.
The country offers a compelling blend of cost efficiency and high production value, making it a natural hub for our facilitation arm. Seasoned crews, international standard film studios, versatile locations, and world-class art department it offers an ideal blend of economy and excellence—making it a top choice for global shoots.
Our bilingual team—fluent in both English and Thai—has filmed from Chiang Mai to the southern isles, and everywhere in between. With insightful local knowledge and an eye for detail, we ensure every shoot runs with seamless precision.
FILM CREW
In Bangkok, professionalism comes with a smile. The city’s film crews are widely respected not only for their technical know-how but also for their signature blend of calm adaptability and warm hospitality — an essential mix for productions that demand both precision and poise.
With decades of experience across both homegrown shoots and global campaigns, our Bangkok teams bring a wealth of expertise to set. Their deep local knowledge, collaborative spirit and sharp problem-solving instincts help ensure each production runs like clockwork. The result? A filming experience that’s as seamless as it is rewarding.
CASTING & TALENT
Bangkok has established itself as one of the region’s most compelling casting hubs, thanks to its broad and eclectic talent pool. From local actors to international models working via trusted agencies, the city offers a rich blend of faces, languages, and styles well-suited to a range of commercial briefs.
Whether you’re after striking leads, character-driven performers, or ensemble castings, Thailand’s market delivers with ease. That said, when it comes to more nuanced comedic roles — where timing, tone and cultural context are key — productions may find it worthwhile to look slightly further afield. Australia, in particular, offers a strong roster of comedic talent that pairs well with Bangkok’s production infrastructure.
The result is a casting process that’s both flexible and globally minded — just the way we like it.
LOCATIONS
Thailand offers so much versatility in terms of locations from cityscapes, to lush countryside, tropical beaches and beyond. Locations can easily replicate for other countries and cities around the world such as London, New York, Mumbai, Italy or the Caribbean. The flexibility of Thailand film locations partnered with talented Thai art department make for a cost effective and high production value shoot.
STUDIOS
Thailand continues to raise the bar for production infrastructure in the region, pairing world-class studio facilities with some of the most skilled art department teams in Asia. Set builds here are not only delivered to international standards — they’re executed with remarkable efficiency and at highly competitive rates.
At the heart of Bangkok’s production scene lies a new generation of LED volume stages, designed to bring hyper-realistic environments to life. These cutting-edge studios offer filmmakers the flexibility to reduce location demands while still achieving cinematic depth, making them an ideal choice for commercials, feature films and music videos alike.
Beyond the tech, Thailand’s legacy as a film production hub means access to a wide network of purpose-built studios — many with ready-made sets — alongside a full suite of industry-grade equipment and support services. Whether you’re crafting an intimate scene or mounting a large-scale campaign, Thailand delivers a seamless, high-calibre production experience.
FILM PERMITS
Thailand has mastered the art of making film permitting refreshingly painless. Thanks to a forward-thinking approach led by the Thailand Film Office, the process is streamlined, reliable, and notably more agile than in many other production hubs around the world.
Designed with international crews in mind, the system balances formality with flexibility — ideal for TV commercials, branded content, and longer-form shoots alike.
Permits are typically issued within 3 to 10 business days, depending on the scope and scale of the production — meaning fewer delays and more time on set.
Safety (new,add): Thailand’s reputation for warm hospitality, low crime rates, and efficient infrastructure ensures that cast and crew can work in comfort and confidence.
Whether navigating the pulse of Bangkok’s lively districts or seeking inspiration in the country’s quieter corners, Thailand offers a production experience that is as seamless as it is unforgettable.
