• +5% for promoting Thai tourism, soft power, and a positive image of Thailand;

• +3% for hiring key Thai personnel;

• +3% for shooting in designated tourism locations;

• +2% for spending on post-production services in Thailand;

• +5% for shooting before 31 December 2023 – *Minimum local spend in Thailand of more than THB 100 million (approx. US$2.8m).

Since the beginning of 2022, 238 films have been shot in Thailand, generating around 2,558 million baht in income for the country.
