Jean-Claude Van Damme was in Bangkok a while ago. Here is his latest movie coming out this year: Kickboxer: Vengeance
Eric and Kurt Sloane are the descendants of a well-known Venice, California-based family of martial artists. Kurt has always been in older brother, Eric's shadow, as he lacks the instincts needed to become a champion. Against Kurt's concerns, Eric accepts a paid offer and travels to Thailand to challenge the Muay Thai champion Tong Po and fails with dire consequences. Kurt sets out for revenge. He trains with his brother's mentor, Durand, for a Muay Thai fight against the merciless champion, Tong Po. Durand first thinks Kurt is impossible to train, but through a series of spiritual exercises and tests, Durand discovers that Kurt has a deeper strength that will carry him through his final showdown with Tong Po.

The first few episodes of Season 5 were in Thailand. The first two were in Bangkok. There was a scene at Soi Cowboy and a chase scene on Soi 7/1, where you could see Dr BJ's sign.
LY, I was impressed with the amount of Thai spoken by the actor, she really had to learn a lot of lines.
Quote: from MrJoe on 7:43 pm on Jan. 22, 2003 There are dozens of movies made in Thailand; mostly Viet Nam war flicks. I'm sure they could be found by internet search.
Many years ago I worked on Uncommon Valor and Hamburger Hill in addition to a couple of the ones mentioned in this thread.
Apocolypse Now was shot inthe Philipines as was Brokedown Palace or Bangkok Hilton -- I can't remember which was abot 2 falang chicks?--(the Thais wouldn't allow it to be filmed here because it represented Thailand in a poor light).
