The department's director-general Supol Sripan said film-makers not only bring in revenue to the local economy, but also indirectly help promote Thailand in their respective countries.

    "Bangkok has been selected as the top location for shooting by overseas film producers, according to the Department of Tourism."

    Very misleading - should state that Bangkok is the top location in THAILAND for shooting....

    Would have been nice to see where Thailand actually does rank world-wide for movie production.
