Prommit Studio: The Shooting Location for the Film

When Kanchanaburi province is mentioned, many people think of tourist sites surrounded by forests, mountains, and waterfalls, such as the River Kwai Bridge, which is a historical structure built during the World War II, Thong Pha Phum National Park, which is endowed with large and small animals, and Huai Mae Khamin Waterfall, a beautiful waterfall referred to as Thilosu of Kanchanaburi.

Today, Prommit Film Studio has become Kanchanaburi’s new attraction, which is a magnet for both Thai and foreign tourists, especially over the weekend. It is the shooting location for the film “The Legend of King Naresuan.”

With a fund of over 10 million baht, a deserted forest of about 2,000 rai (800 acres) in the Surasi Camp was turned into the shooting location. Various scenes have been built for this film, which is one of the grandest and most expensive Thai films ever made. Considering that it will be a pity, if the spectacular scenes are left unattended after the end of film production, Prommit Film Studio has decided to develop this area into a new tourist site for everyone.

There are currently 18 tourist spots within Prommit Film Studio. In the reception hall, visitors will be briefed about the history of this shooting location from a video presentation. Then the tour will take them to other sections of the studio, such as Yodia Village, the living quarter of Maha Then Khanchong, the room for keeping weapons, Pegu’s walls, San Phet Prasat, Ayodhaya’s walls, the residence of King Bayangnuang, and the room for keeping various items to create the scenes. The tour of the studio ends at the souvenir shop in the entrance area. The shop also offers a photo service for tourists wishing to take photographs or to ride an elephant or a horse. Traditional massage and food and drinks are also available.

About 20 kilometers from the River Kwai Bridge, Prommit Film Studio is located next to the Surasi Camp in Lat Ya subdistrict, Mueang district, Kanchanaburi province. It is open every day, from 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. For Thais, the entrance fee is 100 baht for adults and 50 baht for children. Foreigners will be charged 200 baht.
