Laos Filming Locations
The most well established film locations in Laos are the major cities of Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng. Vientiane is a former French colonial trading post. Easily walkable, the historic old quarter of Vientiane boasts glittering temples, picturesque river serpent statues, wandering Buddhist monks, and boulevards lined with Frangipani and Tamarind trees.
Vientiane achieves an unprecedented level of panache with a distinctly Gallic flavor. Here you can find low-cost digs, street markets, boutique accommodation, and old-fashioned bakeries. The French culinary influence is palpable, while the area also retains its distinct pre-colonial charm.
Luang Prabang slows the pulse and awakens the imagination. Beyond the evident history and heritage of the old French town, there are aquamarine waterfalls, trekking and mountain-bike opportunities. For some cool respite, kayaking trips and river cruises coalesce into a panorama of outstanding natural beauty. Sitting at the sacred confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, this community invokes a sense of spiritual awakening as memories of city life quickly fade.
Over the last 20 years, Luang Prabang has seen plenty of financial investment. The population has swollen, and yet still this river peninsula remains as sleepy and friendly as a village where time stands still. As always, Wind Up Films can help to secure the necessary Laos film production locations and services.
Laos Film Crew and Equipment Rental
Vientiane remains the main hub for the acquisition of basic camera, grip and lighting equipment. Higher standard gear and more specialized items would have to be sourced from abroad. This is an easy fix through Wind Up Film’s on-site producers. Bangkok is the closest major production center, being conveniently connected to Laos via either land or air. Multiple flights from BKK arrive in Laos daily from a variety of carriers.
Following on from the same logic, we bring key filmmaking crew in from abroad, although some local resources can be hired should the need arise. Wind Up Films, as part of our production services, will secure the best Laos film production crew and equipment.
