Where Was Alien: Earth Filmed? All Filming Locations Listed
Alien: Earth is the highly anticipated spin-off series based on the Alien franchise, and is scheduled to premiere on August 12, 2025. The new series is being spearheaded by Noah Hawley, who also created shows like Fargo and Legion, with original Alien movie Ridley Scott serving as an executive producer. Unlike previous installments, the show takes place mainly on Earth, where a spaceship, carrying samples of a deadly species, has crashed into a city. This makes for a noticeable change of setting for the franchise, and many fans are curious about the filming locations for the show. All filming locations where Alien: Earth was filmed Krabi Krabi lies in the southern part of Thailand and is filled with beautiful beaches, stunning limestone karsts, and mangroves. The beaches are renowned for their turquoise waters and pristine white sand shores. Places like Railay Beach, Ton Sai Beach, and Ko Phi Phi Lee are to be featured on the show. Phang Nga Phang Nga is in the northern part of Thailand and offers more beautiful locations. This place has a more dramatic look that works incredibly well for tense action-packed scenes, which should fit right into the Alien franchise. Surat Thani Surat Thani is a province in the southern part of Thailand. It is yet another location filled with breathtaking tropical landscapes. The shooting took place in its natural landscapes, including national parks for their dense forests and waterfalls. Phuket Phuket's islands, like Koh Yao Noi and Koh Roi, were also part of Alien: Earth's filming locations. Specifically for its eighth episode, the show utilized a massive crew for the shoot, spanning multiple days. (via Thaiger) The first two episodes of Alien: Earth are being released on August 12, with a new episode every week thereafter. Starting August 12, you can stream the show every Tuesday on Hulu.

Jurassic World Rebirth Takes the Dinos to Thailand
On Location peels back the curtain on some of your favorite films, television shows, and more. Jurassic World Rebirth is set on the fictional Ile Saint-Hubert, a previously-unseen location in the iconic franchise, which gave the filmmakers the opportunity to reimagine the dinosaur-inhabited world. The producers looked at numerous locations, including the Dominican Republic, Mauritius, Panama, and Costa Rica, before settling on Krabi, Thailand, where director Gareth Edwards also shot 2023's The Creator. The team combined real-world locations in Thailand with sets in Malta, New York City, and London to create the world. Jurassic World Rebirth follows a team of operatives, including Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson), Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey), and Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali), as they infiltrate the restricted Ile Saint-Hubert to acquire DNA samples from three dinosaur species. On the way, they encounter a shipwrecked family, led by single father Reuben Delgado (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), who get swept up in the action. Audiences get to see a significant portion of the island, which is home to a now-deserted InGen research facility that bred dinosaur hybrids. 'We wanted it to feel like the original film, but at the same time, we wanted to push the technology a little bit in this new facility,' production designer James Clyne says. 'This island is more advanced and ahead of its time than some of the other islands we've seen. InGen put all their resources into funding it, so you get a more futuristic sense of the world.'

Jurassic World: Rebirth was filmed in Thailand. Here are the featured locations you can visit
If the sweeping landscapes in Jurassic World: Rebirth – the seventh and latest instalment in the Jurassic Park franchise – left you captivated, here's some good news: You can head to some of these places yourselves. Jurassic World: Rebirth was filmed at locations across three southern provinces in the country: Krabi, Phang Nga and Trang. Filming took place from Jun 13 to Jul 16, 2024, with a budget exceeding 650 million Thai baht (US$20 million), reported local newspaper The Nation. The making of the movie also involved over 500 Thai crew members and created jobs and income streams for 2,245 Thai individuals. Here are the key places you can visit to be transported right into the heart of the film: 1. HUAI TO WATERFALL AT KHAO PHANOM BENCHA NATIONAL PARK, KRABI The Khao Phanom Bencha National Park is a popular destination for its waterfalls, caves and trails through montane forests, according to the Thai National Parks website. Located in the park is Huai To Waterfall, a multi-tiered waterfall amidst the dense jungle. It is also one of the smallest parks in the country, covering around 50 sq km of area between Maung, Ao Luek and Khao Phanom districts of Krabi Province. 2. KO KRADAN, TRANG PROVINCE An island surrounded by white sandy beaches and crystal-clear water, Ko Kradan is situated to the west of Ko Muk and is the location of the Hat Chao Mai National Park Protection Unit, according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand. It is also a must visit for snorkelling to see the coral reefs around its coast and a popular venue for wedding ceremonies. 3. PHANG-NGA BAY (AO PHANG NGA NATIONAL PARK), PHANG NGA Ao Phang Nga National Park is a 400 sq km marine national park that features long beaches and houses the biggest native mangrove forests in Thailand along the mainland and many islands. Its compound frames about 40 islands on the east of Phuket Island, according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand. It is best known for the popular attraction, Khao Tapu, otherwise known as the James Bond Island, whose name stems from when it was used as a filming location for the 1974 Bond film The Man With the Golden Gun. There are also other limestone karst islands, a number of white sandy beaches and a few caves at the park, according to the Thai National Parks website. The turquoise waters surrounding the islands are also consistently calm, which makes it ideal for canoeing, especially to spots that are sea level caves, leading to inland lagoons. The nearest popular towns and tourist destinations are Phuket, Phi Phi Islands, Krabi, Khao Lak and Ko Lanta. 4. THAM MORAKOT (EMERALD CAVE), TRANG PROVINCE Located in the Hat Chao Mai National Park, Emerald Cave is a must visit in Thailand. From the cave mouth, tourists must float in groups passing through an 80m-long narrow tunnel. The name Emerald Cave is derived from when the sunlight reflects on the water of the cave, causing the water and the cave walls to appear emerald green. This can only be seen between 10am and 2pm. Jurassic World: Rebirth is out in cinemas from Thursday (Jul 3). The film follows Zora Bennett, played by Scarlett Johansson, who leads a team of skilled operatives to the dangerous island research facility for the original Jurassic Park to secure DNA from dinosaurs which can provide life-saving benefits to mankind. The movie also stars actors Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali and Rupert Friend. It is a sequel to the 2022 movie Jurassic World Dominion.

Australia issues Thailand terrorism travel warning after explosives allegedly seized
The Australian government has warned travellers of an "ongoing risk of terrorism" across Thailand after police reported finding improvised explosives in tourist areas around Phuket and Krabi. "Popular tourist areas may be the target of terrorist attacks anywhere across Thailand, including Bangkok and Phuket," said a statement posted to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's Smartraveller website. "Phuket International Airport has increased security measures and passengers should arrive early for their flight. This follows the recent discovery of an explosive device near the airport. "Thai authorities also defused devices in Phuket, Krabi and Phang Nga and made arrests." Thai officials said on Friday they had arrested two suspects allegedly connected to the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN), the leading group in a decades-long separatist movement which seeks independence for Thailand's southernmost provinces which are majority ethnic Malay and Muslim. In comments carried by Thai PBS, a spokesperson for the Thai military said two men in their 20s were alleged to have planted some 11 improvised explosive devices in Phuket, Krabi and Phang Nga. Army commander Lieutenant General Paisal Nusang said the devices were not powerful enough to cause serious damage or kill, but rather appeared intended to disrupt economic activity in tourist-heavy areas. Phuket Governor Sophon Suwannarat last week sought to downplay the threat to tourists in his province. "Based on current evidence, none of the suspicious items found so far are explosive or destructive," he said as quoted by the Bangkok Post. BRN's attacks have historically been focused in Thailand's deep southern provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narthiwat — not tourist areas further north like Phuket. Greg Raymond, an expert on Thailand at the Australian National University Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, was sceptical that BRN would be behind an explosives plot so far north. "There hasn't been any real evidence of movement of the insurgency outside the three border provinces for quite some years," he said. "This looks like perhaps a couple of amateurs [who] don't seem to have the skills that the Barisan Revolusi Nasional, the main insurgency group, have down in those three border provinces." Deep South Watch, a non-profit organisation which monitors the conflict in Thailand's south, says more than 7,700 people have died as a result since 2004. DFAT has long warned against travel to the southern three provinces, which border Malaysia, "due to ongoing risks of low-level insurgent activity, including terrorism". The alleged bomb plot against tourism sites in Phuket and Krabi comes after BRN in May publicly disavowed violence against civilian targets. "We insist that we will conduct our activities under the framework of international human rights principles and laws," the militant group said a statement in Malay translated by Thai PBS. Human Rights Watch's Asia director Elaine Pearson said the public pledge not to target civilians was an "unprecedented step ... after terrorising people in Thailand's deep south for more than two decades". Deep South Watch reports at least 245 people have been injured in violent incidents involving insurgents this year. Thai Police did not respond to ABC questions on the nature of the devices or the ongoing risk posed to tourists. Pravit Rojanaphruk, a prominent Thai journalist with Khaosod English, said little was known about the devices or the suspects. "Since the case has yet to be brought up before a court of law, all we have at the moment is what the police said was a confession," he told the ABC. In its travel warning, DFAT added that the "security situation in Thailand can be unpredictable". "Large protests have occurred in Bangkok and other areas," they said. "In previous years, large political protests and government crowd control operations have resulted in violence." Thousands of protesters last weekend gathered in Bangkok to call for the resignation of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, whose government is at risk of collapse over a border dispute with Cambodia. Rojanaphruk said Australians who were worried could postpone their trip to Phuket by a week or two "just to see how things pan out." "I do not think that it's as dangerous as some countries in South-East Asia, but it's good to be vigilant," he said. "I would be more concerned about swimming on the beach and being sucked down by a rip curl, which has actually killed a few people over the past month or two in Phuket alone."

Airport bomb threat sparks warning for Aussies travelling to popular holiday destination
Aussies heading to Thailand have been issued an urgent travel warning after a bomb was found near Phuket International Airport this week. 'There's an ongoing risk of terrorism in Thailand,' Australia's official travel advice service, Smartraveller, said in a statement on Saturday morning. 'Popular tourist areas may be the target of terrorist attacks anywhere across Thailand, including Bangkok and Phuket. 'This follows discovery of an explosive device near the airport this week. 'Thai authorities defused devices in Phuket, Krabi and Phang Nga this week and have made related arrests in recent days.' The service added that Phuket International Airport has increased security measures and that passengers flying out of the airport should arrive well ahead of their flights. 'The security situation in Thailand can be unpredictable,' the advice continued. 'Large protests have occurred in Bangkok and other areas. In previous years, large political protests and government crowd control operations have resulted in violence.' The service also urged Aussies in Thailand to be alert to risks around drink spiking, and to never leave food or drinks unattended. Holidaymakers should stay with people they trust at bars, nightclubs and in taxis. Travellers were told to exercise a high degree of caution in Thailand overall due to security and safety risks, while they should 'reconsider the need to travel' to Yala province, Pattani province, and Narathiwat province due to ongoing risks of insurgent activity, including terrorism. Thailand is a major destination for Australians, with about 800,000 Aussies visiting the country each year before Covid.
