> The Man With The Golden Gun, The Beach, Rambo 4. Any more

You've got a very low standard for defining "decent".

Although the fact that the Bond franchise is basically a spoof of its own genre gives it a certain cheesy appeal, but a Roger Moore one? sorry lost me. . .

Ong Bak, and I forget the name and I haven't seen it, but a Thai made film won the Palme D'or a couple of years ago.

Good Morning, Vietnam.

Now that's the first one that's crossed my threshold for "decent", one of Robin's best - not saying much I know, never knew such a brilliant showman to make so many stinkers!

Hot Potatoe starring Black Belt Jones (cheesy kung <deleted> ) was filmed in C.M. ..... parts of American Gangster (Denzel Washington).

I met two famous actors, who were filming in Bangkok.

One was Kylie Minogue who was making 'Street Fighter'.

The other was Jonathan Ryth Myers, who a was a really sound bloke, who was making 'Alexander.'

'North of Chiang Mai' - made in the eighties I believe. Decent in an extremely loose sense.

As extremely loose as a script allowing for a border between Thailand and Vietnam.

Must have been written, filmed and produced the same week. Budget: 3 somtams

Bangkok Dangerous, and an ever worse film with Steven Seagal I think.

The young Thai hood that was assisting Nick Cage in that flick used an interesting curse in Thai that I've never heard in real conversation before (not that I hang around in those circles). He called him, how to say, "one who sleeps with ducks."

See the original Thai version. Good flick.

The Ugly American (1963)

And M. R. Kukrit Pramoj played the Prime Minister of the fictional country, "Sarkhan", in the film. He went on to become the 13th PM of Thailand.
