Initial Consultation & Creative Planning

Every great production begins with a clear vision. In our first consultation (via video call or in person), we listen to your script requirements, creative goals, and production needs. Do you envision a high-energy cityscape scene, a serene island romance, or an action-packed jungle chase? What are your technical requirements, budget expectations, and timelines? Our experts provide local insights and creative input – recommending unique locations, cultural elements, and hidden backdrops that can enrich your project. From this stage, we deliver a detailed proposal and roadmap so you know exactly how your production will unfold in Thailand.

Location Scouting & Selection

Thailand’s diverse landscapes make it a filmmaker’s dream. Our local production specialists scout and shortlist locations that fit your story. Whether it’s Bangkok’s neon skyline, Chiang Mai’s ancient temples, Krabi’s limestone cliffs, or untouched rural villages, we provide you with photos, videos, and detailed briefs. We can also arrange virtual or in-person recces for your creative team. With our insider knowledge, you gain access to exclusive sites and hard-to-secure venues. Plus, we negotiate with local authorities and private owners on your behalf, ensuring permits and contracts are secured quickly and efficiently.

Production Design & Technical Support

Transforming a location into the perfect set is where our expertise shines. We collaborate with set designers, art directors, and technical crews to deliver exactly what your production demands. From building temporary structures to sourcing authentic props, managing lighting rigs, sound systems, and SFX support, our team ensures every technical requirement is met. Need a traditional Thai marketplace scene or a futuristic sci-fi setting? We can customize sets, arrange local artisans, and even integrate cultural elements for authenticity. Our production design services bring your director’s vision to life on screen.

Catering & Crew Services

On any film set, crew comfort is critical. Explera DMC organizes professional catering tailored to your crew’s needs – from Thai specialties to international menus, vegetarian, vegan, halal, or kosher options. Alongside catering, we manage crew welfare services such as makeup and wardrobe teams, translators, runners, and production assistants. For large shoots, we coordinate on-site medical support and safety staff. Our reliable vendor network ensures your crew stays energized and operations remain seamless throughout the shoot.

Travel & Logistics Management

As Thailand’s trusted DMC, we extend our expertise to cast and crew logistics. We coordinate international and domestic flights, airport transfers, local transport (cars, vans, buses, or VIP fleets), and hotel accommodations close to shooting sites. Whether you need budget-friendly crew stays or luxury suites for lead actors, we secure group rates and manage all bookings. We also provide travel guidance on visas, work permits, and customs clearance for filming equipment. Our logistics team ensures that everyone and everything arrives on set smoothly and on time.

On-Set Coordination & Shoot Management

When cameras roll, timing is everything. Our on-ground production coordinators manage day-to-day operations, keeping everything on schedule and on budget. From coordinating call times to liaising with vendors, managing extras, cueing action sequences, or resolving unexpected challenges, our team is your backstage crew. We ensure compliance with local regulations, oversee health and safety, and keep the production running like clockwork. With Explera DMC on site, you can focus on directing while we handle the details.

Post-Production & Wrap Support

Our support doesn’t end when filming stops. We assist with post-production requirements such as arranging local editing suites, sound studios, or VFX collaboration. We also manage wrap-up logistics: returning rented equipment, settling vendor accounts, handling customs clearance for shipped gear, and ensuring final documentation with authorities. For your cast and crew, we can arrange wrap parties, farewell dinners, or relaxation packages – from spa days to island getaways – as a perfect ending to their Thailand experience. By offering end-to-end production services, Explera DMC positions itself as your one-stop partner for filming in Thailand. From pre-production planning to on-set coordination and post-shoot wrap, nothing is left to chance. Our local knowledge, international experience, and personal dedication guarantee that your project is executed flawlessly – so your story shines on the big screen.
