Bangkok, what it costs.
Cost guideWhat actually drives the budget of a commercial shoot in Bangkok, and why most quotes you get are shaped to win the meeting rather than to be true.
Bangkok is one of the most cost-effective crew markets in Asia, which is why brands routinely approve a campaign in Singapore and shoot it here. The saving is real, but it comes from the crew market and the locations, not from cutting the schedule.
The variables that move a Bangkok budget, roughly in order: number of shoot days, crew size, camera and lighting package, talent and usage, and whether you need permits for public locations. Travel for key creative matters far less than people expect.

FAQ.
Why are there no prices on this page yet?
Because a made-up range is worse than none. We are putting real figures here from real jobs rather than a number designed to get you on a call. Ask for a brief-specific budget and you will get one.
What actually drives the cost of a Bangkok shoot?
Shoot days, crew size, kit, talent and whether you need permits for public locations. The city is rarely the expensive part. The schedule is.
Is Bangkok cheaper than Shanghai or Singapore?
For crew and locations, materially so. That is why brands regularly approve in Singapore and shoot in Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh City.
Who contracts the crew?
Our Thailand Film Office registered production partner. Studio Supreme produces the film and the partner files the permit and contracts local crew, which is the only legal structure for a foreign production in Thailand.
