Flatouthruthefog Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 We are searching for an empty straight street stretch or closed down landing strip suitable for filming a fast running car. Does any one knows were to find some thing like it near Bangkok? There must be a Brazillian smart answers to this one, but i can't think of any tonight. Only Utapao air base springs to mind, the longest runway in Thailand, very little used and occasionally hosting car racing, even a 4x4 off road area I hear. Royal Automobile Assoc of Thailand should be able to help and guide you. Emphasis on the 'should'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teej Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 To the OP: the second-stage expressway from about Chaeng Wattana and outbound is a pretty awesome stretch of road that is pretty much dead empty at certain times. It is pretty much the only place for people with fast cars to drive them. Freeway goes all the way to Bang Pa-in and then you can make the same right back into town. There are 2 spots where you need to slow down or you will likely bottom-out, but if you know where these 2 spots are, you're good to go. Filming? Well if you're shooting real film, you can't shoot at night (which is the best time to fly down that road). Maybe early Sunday mornings? What are you filming, may I ask?

It is a car accessory for the EU and US market that we have developed and that we now need to make films that shows the gadget in action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know of many straights but they are all far from BKK... What does the gadget do??? Can we buy one here??? Secret??? Webpage??? want to give more details, now or when it is released???

teej Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 If you don't need to be in BKK and just need some fun roads for spirited driving: Highway 1. Up toward Lampang the roads are very well-paved and are really fun to drive. Few cars on the Road, wide lanes, and some twisties even. First time I made the drive up Highway 1, I was surprised at how nice the roads where (of course there are sections that suck). One problem though: No benzene 95.

Thairish Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 We are searching for an empty straight street stretch or closed down landing strip suitable for filming a fast running car. Does any one knows were to find some thing like it near Bangkok? I know this thread is a month old, but I thought I would add another possible place. I have seen people shooting along the unused section of the No. 7 Highway near Pattaya. I used Google Earth to get the co-ordinates: 12°57'58.41"N 100°58'48.60"E If you use a local production company, I'm sure their location manager will know of this stretch of road. I'm intrigued as to what product you will be filming.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
