Set locations revealed as "Fast and Furious 9" fever heats up

 

 

Thai media said that interest in Thailand about the filming of "The Fast and the Furious 9" was hotting up. 

 

Sanook had managed to find out that a production crew of 300 personnel would be filming at three quarries in Phangnga.

 

Equipment had arrived and the sets were being prepared at the "secret location" that they described as being in  Ban Bang Toei, a beautiful area of the southern Thai province. 

 

 

77kaoded came up with pictures of a racing car arriving and produced a video. 

 

Filming for the ninth edition of the franchise will take place over the next four weeks in Krabi, Phangnga, Phuket and Surat Thani. 

 

Thaivisa notes that it was earlier reported that the film would bring 340 million baht into Thai coffers and showcase the country. 

 

Furthermore Thais had been asked not to do their own filming of the locations, something that Sanook and 77kaoded seemingly couldn't resist.
