Not one thing seemed to me that local beauties were created in order to remove the movies here. Directors of the whole world ride south of Thailand - to Phuket and in the neighboring provinces - for unreal landscapes and exotic. Well, about the fact that on the island of Phi-Phi recovered the film "Beach" with Leonardo di Caprio in the lead role, everyone knows. And about the fact that near Phuket is the famous Bond Island, which can be seen in the picture "Man with a Golden Pistol", too many heard. However, there are also several busy places here, who littered into the cinema, but about which not everyone knows about.

For example, at the Phuket Beach Nai Young starred the film "Bridget Jones Diary: the faces of reasonable." In a luxury hotel, which is located on this beach, the entire film crew lived. And it was here that I was almost publicly executed Hugh Grant. According to eyewitnesses, the girls at the receptionist were not recognized in the grant, which arrived on the island later the entire filmmander, a world-scale star. After all, they made the actor call their surname, while the usual hotel guests did not explain who actually faces them. So, among those who explained everything about Grant, there were our Siberian peasants. And they at first the appearance of the world star was perceived unequivocally: we must give him a face to cheer up his little - and it stands here as a mummy and can not even explain how to explain who he is right. But it cost without bloodshed. And the staff of the hotel, in fact, during the filming, have worked nicely for the benefit of Hollywood. Waiters, porters and even maids have mastedly participated in the extras of the paintings, sorry for tautology.
Hollywood veterans also did not adopt the island of Phuket. So, the cult director George Lucas before the start of the film "Star Wars: Episode 3 - Sitov's Revenge" knew exactly that this time he could not do only with pavilion films. And although most of the painting was removed just at Fox Studios in Sydney (Australia), the group went to the Plenuer. As a result, the Hills of the island of Phuket played a violent, full of life of the planet of the WOOD - Kashiik. "This place is wild, unadigital. It worries blood and makes you feel ... alive, "the scenic of Cashiak, which is described in the scenario, which was found in Thai Island.
In the province of Krabi, to which we have gotten by the car for three hours, you can easily feel like the heroes of the film "Bachelor Party-2: from Vegas in Bangkok". Despite the name of the sequel of the famous comedy, she starred not only in Bangkok, but also in Krabi. Experienced guides will be happy to hold you on the "places of combat glory" bad guys.
Russian filmmakers also visited these places. On a small uninhabited island of Hong, that in the same province of Krabi, not so long ago the picture "Jungle" with faith of Brezhnev and Sergey Svetlakov starred in high roles. An unexpected coincidence: after Thai voyage and Brezhnev, and Svetlakov for some reason divorced with their second half. True, a couple, they, despite People's Molve, did not become.
And even in Thailand, including on the island of Phuket, most films about the Vietnamese War are shot. The most funny that work on paintings in which we are talking about Thailand, went in neighboring Malaysia. And there I will soon have to go. True, not by their will ...
