Uncover Thailand: A Creative Travel Guide on Netflix

Have you ever watched a movie or series on Netflix (or elsewhere) and wondered where they filmed it? Better yet, would you like to know how you can travel to these fascinating places? In recent months, travelers have been coining the phrase “set-jetting,” the travel trend that takes them to great film locations.

Netflix has taken the initiative to give travelers more in-depth information about filming locations that feature in its movies and shows. So far, it only covers Thailand, but they are likely looking ahead to make something similar for many other filming locations. The streamer has many series filmed in fascinating areas of Turkey, South Korea, Germany, Sweden and more. It would be great to have the chance to find out more about the Netflix shooting locations to give more meaning to viewing.

To give its viewers more in-depth information about filming locations in Thailand, Netflix has launched Uncover Thailand: A Creative Travel Guide. Not only does it help viewers locate and hopefully visit the locations, but it also includes a map that pinpoints them. It also offers an in-depth travel guide outlining a number of attractions across the Asian country.

Netflix created the website in partnership with the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Also included in the partnership are the Department of National Parks, The Wildlife and Plant Conservation, and the Creative Economy Agency. Together, the partnership seeks to guide travelers to discover locations they may have spotted while binging series on Netflix.

To give an example, Chon Buri (pictured top) is one of the locations featured in season 3 of the Spanish smash hit series, Money Heist. Fans might remember when our bank-robbing heroes escaped Spain and were living their best life on a gorgeous beach with waving palm trees. Well, at least until they got bored and planned new adventures back home in Spain.

Meanwhile, another location, Chumphon featured in The Stranded. In the Thai series, students from an elite school are trapped on an island destroyed by a tsunami. They try to hold on to hope, while mysterious forces seem to work against them.

Visitors to Uncover Thailand: A Creative Travel Guide can choose to view the locations on its “Discover” page. Here, all the locations are divided into each Netflix show or movie that was filmed there.

Meanwhile, for anyone looking for specific attractions and experiences in Thailand, the “Travel Guide” is where to go. This page has an extensive list, including a key location in Hurts Like Hell, a boxing match in Ransgit Stadium. it also features a visit to Little India to sample dishes shown in Street Food Asia.

Readers can access Netflix’s Uncover Thailand: A Creative Travel Guide website here to find out more about the country and where to go to visit the filming locations. The streamer captions the home page with the words, “Explore hidden treasures of Thailand such as ancient temples, diverse beaches, breathtaking waterfalls, and sacred forests.” Sounds good to us!

Here’s hoping Netflix will release more travel guides allowing their viewers to go set-jetting around the onscreen world.
