New Music Video - Love Herby by Tia Ray

Benetone Films had a great time line producing the new music video of China's first R&B Pop Princess, Tia Ray.

It was a great experience for us and for the musician.  We had a great art team who got us some really slick and unique futuristic set that added a whole new element to the video and the production. We also had stunt performers for some brilliantly choreographed fighting scenes.

We had a beautiful location in an abandoned building in Bangkok, untapped and unused and could potentially be used for another shoot, maybe for your next horror film?

It was an overall satisfying experience knowing everyone part of the production team did an awesome job. Everyone truly created something from nothing.

Film in Myanmar with Benetone Films



Myanmar (formerly Burma), is the largest country by geographical area in mainland Southeast Asia, a nation of more than 100 ethnic groups, bordering India, Bangladesh, China, Laos and Thailand. The country is one of the most magical and undiscovered destinations in the world; a golden land of breathtaking beauty and endless charm that is steeped in fascinating history, traditions and of course, war.

“Myanmar is the cool, arthouse film that’s a bit trickier but ultimately a richer experience.We saw things there no one has seen, or I haven’t seen in any documentary before. Yangon is this city with about 1,100 Buddhist temples and they are surrounded by farmland. There’s this incredible vista of trees and peeping above the trees are all these pagodas and temples as far as the eye can see.”
 - Dara O Briain and Ed Byrn, BBC

Pakistan production house 9.8 Films shoots in Thailand for the new commercial for Lay's, doubling the country for a series of international locations. The new campaign showcase how the new unique flavors of the beloved potato chip brand takes you into a new food journey.

The combination of Thailand's different cultures and traditions doubled up for Australia, Italy and China. The particular locations were chosen to match with each of the different places shown in the campaign. For Italy, we filmed at Venice de Iris Shopping Mall, which was modeled off of the beautiful winding canals of Venice. For Australia, we chose a beach resort at Sattahip, Chonburi which can resemble the famous Australian beaches, and a Chinese temple in Samut Prakan Province for China.



The Lay's project is only one of the many campaigns were Thailand was used to double up for global locations. Israeli production company Rabel Films also used Thailand for the Spring Tea Journey campaign to double for Africa and Brazil.

Thailand is one of the world's best tourist destinations, furthermore, the country is a great destination for filmmakers. The country can provide the backgrounds to bring every filmmaker's vision to life.
