How to Obtain a Permit for Filming in Historical Parks

For those wishing to film in Thailand’s historical parks, obtaining a permit is a crucial step that must be strictly followed. After receiving approval from the Thailand Film Office, an official request letter is sent to the Archaeology Division of the Fine Arts Department to authorize filming within park areas. If the application is submitted through the One-Stop Service Center, the permit can be issued within 3 days. However, for applications submitted outside of the center, a minimum of 5 days advance notice is required before filming.
