TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Thailand is once again in the international spotlight, with its stunning landscapes featured in the new blockbuster, Jurassic World: Rebirth. Released in early July 2025, the film was largely shot in the country's southern region, showcasing its breathtaking natural beauty and solidifying its reputation as a premier filming destination.
For both film buffs and nature enthusiasts, here are three national parks in Thailand featured in Jurassic World: Rebirth:
1. Hat Chao Mai National Park, Trang
Sunset Beach and Ko Kradan, both within this national park, have been recognized as the World's Best Beach by the World Beach Guide for two consecutive years (2023 and 2024). This prestigious award underscores the area's pristine natural beauty and crystal-clear waters, making it a dream destination for beach lovers.
Beyond its beaches, the film also features the park's Emerald Cave. This enchanting cave is perfect for adventurers willing to swim through a dark tunnel to discover a hidden lagoon. As sunlight pierces through crevices in the cave, it illuminates the water with a magical emerald glow, creating a scene straight out of a fantasy film.
2. Khao Phanom Bencha National Park, Krabi
Ao Nang serves as the primary gateway to Krabi's famous islands and coastal attractions. Its picturesque pedestrian walkway along the coast makes it a favorite spot for evening strolls and offers spectacular views of sunsets behind towering limestone cliffs.
This national park is also home to an impressive 11-tier waterfall, with individual cascades named Wang Thewada, Wang Sila, and Wang Chorakhe. Surrounded by lush tropical forests, this area remains cool and refreshing year-round, providing a peaceful retreat for nature lovers.
3. Ao Phang Nga National Park, Phang Nga
This national park famously appeared in the James Bond film, The Man with the Golden Gun. Khao Tapu, popularly known as James Bond Island, gets its name from its distinctive crab's-eye shape, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.
Here, visitors will also find two dramatically jutting limestone islands. Its surreal landscape and cinematic backdrop make it an essential stop for film enthusiasts and tourists eager to immerse themselves in Thailand's natural wonders.
