My favorite one is The Beach starring Leonardo Dicaprio. It's like the perfect life and place to be at right now. What other movies were actually shot in Phuket?   

Well actually The Beach was shot on Phi Phi Island, part of Krabi province, not Phuket... Platoon was actually shot in Phuket :)

Killing Fields, Casualties of War, Bridget Jones- Edge of Reason, Tsunami: the Aftermath. to name a few.

"Platoon" was shot in Luzon,Phillipines.

James Bond movie on Koh Tapu - The Man With The Golden Gun. Maybe that's Phang Nga.

Cutthroat Island https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112760/ back in 1995. I worked as an extra just for the experience. Hot work, just hanging around all day waiting for various scenes to be arranged... Matthew Modine was a cool guy, he used to mingle with the extras. Gena Davis was a frosty b#tch and you weren't allowed to approach her, her stunt double was okay... Feeling old just thinking about how long ago that was, lol... 

"Casualties of War" shot in Phang Nga  , was an extra an got a free haircut   LOL

Was also in an Australian TV series filmed in Phang-Nga (the base was Phuket) called Vietnam in 1987.

Farang ( tv series ) 2017.

Not bad, available online.

They filmed some footage from "The Beach" in Phuket  in March/April of 99. I was there on my first trip to Thailand with my children and we watched them filming in Phuket town.   They also filmed on Karon Beach.

Wrong.

 

The Beach was also filmed in Phuket. The hotel in “Bangkok” where Leo meets the French couple and the crazy guy was actually filmed in Phuket City. I stayed there in 2006. It’s called the On On and it was just as <deleted>ty in real life as how the movie portrayed it. It was only 200baht a night though.

There is a french film, called Paradise Beach released in 2019. It was a box office flop.

Heaven & Earth 

Shot in 1993, Heaven & Earth is a superb film by Oliver Stone about the Vietnam War and its consequences. Based on a true story written by Le Ly Hayslip (played by Hiep Thi Le in the movie), the plot relates the life of a young Vietnamese woman and her march through the horrors of history, from Vietnam to America and back.

The Sino-Portuguese house featured in the movie is Baan Chinpracha which is open to visitors and located in Phuket Old Town. Scenes of Vietnamese rural life were shot in the beautiful province of Krabi, only a 2-hour drive from Phuket

The Killing Fields:

The film focuses on the terrors of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia and is based on the experiences of 2 jounalists. The film features the French and American Embassies in Phuket Town.

 

Casualties of War:

This harsh Vietnam War movie used locations in Kanchanburi, Phang Nga and Phuket when filming in 1989, as filming in Vietnam was impossible at the time due to the strict political regime. It starred famous 80's and 90's actors Sean Penn and Michael J. Fox.

My punctuation could have been better. The TV miniseries Vietnam was filmed in 1987.....but, you knew that........right?

"30 Degrees in February".

A 2012/2016 Swedish series (2 seasons) filmed all over Phuket, wasn't to bad and was available to download from the usual places.

... and if you got there early enough (1980s) it was also a brothel, with the girls staying in loco. Actually there was a brothel at every 100 m in the Old Town area of Phuket Town ... fondly remembered by many. Now there is only one left.

Actually quite a few Bollywood movies have been (partly) shot in Phuket. I saw one with numerous scenes at Patong Beach, can't remember the title. Thailand has been quite a popular destination for Indian movie productions.
