From natural wonders and gastronomic experiences to rich cultures and diverse heritage, Thailand's myriad tourist attractions have featured in many popular films and shows on Netflix.
Those inspired by street food chef Jay Fai in Street Food: Asia might be wondering where they could try her Michelin-starred crab omelet. Or astute fans of Money Heist would have recognized the magnificent wooden structure in Season 3 to be the Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya.
To help both domestic and foreign tourists discover these incredible locations, Netflix has partnered with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP), and the Creative Economy Agency (CEA) to create a first-of-its-kind travel guide for Thailand, called Uncover Thailand: A Creative Travel Guide .
Supporting Thailand's goal to revitalize the economy through tourism, particularly in promoting soft power offerings such as food, film and fashion, the guide also includes recommendations for great experiences in the areas surrounding the destinations to enable travelers to make the most of Thailand's many attractions. Through this collaboration of designing travel routes around destinations featured on Netflix and presenting them in a new light, the TAT aims to draw tourists with special interests like film lovers or fans of specific actors.

This travel guide will be helpful for tourists, both while planning their trips and during their journeys in the country, said Ms. Parichart Boonclai, Executive Director, Advertising and Public Relations, TAT. We also hope that the travel guide will be another channel for promoting Thai tourism, image and culture on an even larger stage.
Providing an opportunity for tourists and entertainment enthusiasts to discover new destinations away from the screen, the guide provides intriguing facts, useful travel advice, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content from Netflix.
We recognize the exceptional beauty and value of Thai tourist attractions and culture, and we want to showcase this to members all around the world, said Dr. Sarut Wittayarungruangsri, Head of Public Policy for Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, Netflix. This guide is the first of its kind in Asia-Pacific, and we are delighted to support this effort by highlighting the joy of stories on Netflix and shining the spotlight on Thailand's extraordinary charms and contributing to the revival of Thai tourism.
