Official site

Bangkok is recorded as a filming location for 41 productions. Wikidata records these shoots at town level: somewhere in Bangkok, rather than at one identified spot. Wikipedia names it for 59 more. 3 video games are also set here.

3 productions were filmed at 24 places inside Bangkok rather than at Bangkok itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.

“However, the visa was later rescinded by Vietnamese Prime Minister Võ Văn Kiệt two months after planning had begun, forcing filming to move to Bangkok.”

Movies and TV series filmed in Bangkok

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Bangkok as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Bangkok

3 productions shot at 24 places inside Bangkok, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Bangkok itself.

Set here

Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Bangkok, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.

And 1 more, per Wikipedia:

Drawn from this place

Video games whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Bangkok as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
