Good Morning Vietnam In Bangkok

[Travel2003]

Just saw a classic on tv.

Good morning Vietnam.

I learned that most of the movie was shot in Bangkok.

Any of the old dogs remember this?

Anyone know where in BKK they shot it?

[Pseudolus]

Phuket for the most part and only a tad in Bangkok.

[Misterwhisper]

Practically all of it was shot in Phuket, the city scenes in Phuket town because of its old Sino-Portuguese architecture, which closely resembles that of Saigon during the Vietnam War era.

Amnata Samakhon Throne Hall, Dusit, BKK is in one of the earlier shots.

Fair enough.

Still, it became a popular movie (classic), and the question was where they shot it.

Classic? you say classic?....hmmm not where i come from...if my memory serves me correctly i recognized a few Saigon buildings, but then i could be getting it mixed up with another movie.

I believe Williams' kind of love interest in the movie was a Thai actress playing a Vietnamese young woman, whereas the girl's brother appears to have been an actual Vietnamese guy based on the actor's name. From IMDB:

Well, if you are going to thrash a movie, better be sure it is the right one.
