Q. Is there a cost for inquiries?

A. Inquiries including quotations will not incur any costs if they do not include actual work surveys. Please feel free to contact us.

​

Q. How many days before shooting can I get permission if I send the documents?

A. In Thailand, you cannot shoot without permission from the film board. In order to apply for permission to these government agencies, the shooting application documents must be delivered to our staff at least two weeks before the shooting start date. When shooting movies and dramas, it is often necessary to translate the script and obtain permission in advance, and it is often necessary to change the content. For movies and dramas, consider it two weeks after the translated script is completed.
(Please contact us in advance for tight schedules.)

Q. Is the cost of shooting in Thailand high?

A. Accommodation and flight costs can be selected as high and low for your convenience, but the cost of shooting in Thailand is cheaper than in neighboring Asian countries. We will do our utmost to respond to customers who come by taking advantage of this advantage.

​

Q. Is the communication environment in Thailand different from that in Japan?

A. Currently, Thailand has the same communication environment as Japan, such as LTE and 3G. However, the current situation is that the communication environment is often not set up depending on the location even in local cities and Tokyo. We have a system in which communication professionals can make full use of the communication environment of multiple carriers and provide the most comfortable communication environment possible. We also offer mobile phone rental services as needed, so communication costs to Japan can be significantly reduced.

​

Q. Is it possible to arrange aerial photography using a drone etc.?

A. We can arrange aerial photography by drone, which is considered difficult in Thailand, in cooperation with the drone team officially recognized by the Thai government. Customers can easily obtain drone images by veteran engineers simply by bringing the composition they want to shoot and a memory card (details will be announced separately depending on the resolution and shooting time). We have obtained information from the Film Board Association that the Japanese TV station shooting staff was detained and the equipment was confiscated due to unauthorized shooting using a drone. Please note that if you bring a drone to your equipment in Thailand, it may be confiscated at the time of customs clearance at the airport.

​

Q. Is it possible to arrange shooting equipment and human resources?

A. Equipment and labor costs put pressure on shooting costs. We can also arrange local procurement of shooting equipment, cameraman assistants, lighting, audio, performers, extras, interpreters, makeup, costumes, and other human resources. In addition, please feel free to contact us as it is possible to use the studio and permit the use of various facilities.
