The Movie ~ Where

Post by hannibaldobbs »

I see in some posts mention of move Killing Fields. Was this or part of this movie filmed in Hua Hin and if so, where?

From what I know the hotel scenes were filmed in what was the Railway Hotel, now the Sofitel, and I would imagine most of the film was shot on other locations within Thailand. If you go to the Sofitel I would imagine you would recognise it from the film, and I believe that they have some sort of display promoting the fact that the hotel was used in the film, and more information.

Ditto above from Wanderlust. Hotel le Phnom is The Sofitel.
I believe that most of the scenes of the labour camps and surrounding areas were filmed at Khao Sam Roi Yot.
If the final bits at the refugee camp were shot in true location, it would be around Aranyaprathet.
Again, I think the film was shot entirely in Thailand - except for New York of course.

Phnom Penh street scenes were filmed in Nakhon Pathom.

Other films. Deer Hunter prison camp scenes were shot at Kwai Noi -river in Kanjanaburi.
