What’s Next After White Lotus Season 3 in Koh Samui?
With Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025), Thailand is again in the global spotlight. This time, it is not luxury resorts but wild landscapes, ancient caves, and untamed jungles that take center stage. While some scenes were filmed in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, the movie’s heart lies in Southern Thailand, particularly Krabi, Phang Nga, and Trang.
At Easia Travel, we are thrilled not just by the cinematic scenery, but by the real destinations that bring these films to life – places travelers can explore today.
Why Thailand Was Chosen
The producers of Jurassic World: Rebirth searched for settings that felt wild, remote, and visually dramatic. Southern Thailand offered a rich variety of landscapes, from limestone cliffs and lush forests to hidden beaches and sea caves. These scenes were filmed on location to capture the authenticity and scale of the natural surroundings.
In addition to its natural beauty, Thailand offered the infrastructure and support for responsible filming. Local authorities and communities worked closely with the production team to ensure minimal environmental impact throughout the process.
Key Filming Locations in Southern Thailand
Three national parks in Southern Thailand played a key role in shaping the visual identity of the film.
1. Hat Chao Mai National Park, Trang Province
Situated along the Andaman Sea, this coastal marine park is known for its islands, coral reefs, and sea caves. Highlights include:
- Sunset Beach, Ko Kradan: Known for its soft white sands and clear turquoise waters, this peaceful beach is ideal for snorkeling and sunset views.
- Morakot Cave (Emerald Cave), Koh Muk: A breathtaking sea cave accessible only by swimming or kayaking through a narrow and dark tunnel that leads to a secluded lagoon surrounded by limestone cliffs.
Hat Chao Mai is perfect for beach escapes, island-hopping, and light adventure activities with a strong focus on conservation.
2. Khao Phanom Bencha National Park, Krabi Province
Located just outside Krabi Town, this park features dense rainforest, rich biodiversity, and ancient trees. Notable sights include:
- Huay To Waterfall: A multi-tiered waterfall nestled deep in the forest, ideal for nature walks and photography.
- Sompong Tree: A towering tree with sprawling roots, revered by locals for its spiritual significance.
This park is well suited for those interested in jungle trekking, birdwatching, and immersive nature experiences.
3. Ao Phang Nga National Park, Phang Nga Province
This world-famous marine park is known for its dramatic limestone formations and emerald waters. Key locations include:
- Khao Ta Pu, also called “James Bond Island,” is a vertical rock formation that rises from the sea, flanked by steep cliffs.
- Ko Song Phi Nong and Ko Naka: Lesser-known islands ideal for kayaking, caving, and exploring mangrove ecosystems away from crowds.
Phang Nga offers day cruises, sea canoeing, and scenic coastal exploration for all types of travelers.
Beyond the Sights: Travel That Respects and Connects
At Easia Travel, we believe travel should be about more than just ticking off iconic sights. It’s about engaging with a destination in a way that’s meaningful, respectful, and beneficial to the places and people involved.
