Can you hear the engines roaring? Filming for the next “Fast and Furious” movie began in Thailand’s South on Monday.
The first day of filming in the 340-million baht production for the Hollywood action flick “Fast and Furious 9” began at a palm plantation in Khao Thong, Krabi.
The site was cordoned off from the public, with security guards patrolling to catch anyone looking to have a sneak peak of what Dom and his friends are up to after they prevented nuclear war in the last instalment.
Locals reportedly went about life as usual as they had been notified of the filming.
“Although I wanted to see what was going on, the crew asked us not to enter the filming site,” local Winai Kan-ngen told a Khaosod reporter. “I complied as the filming has brought income to our village. Locals were hired to remove grass and flatten the land.”
The production is set to span across the Southern provinces of Krabi, Phang Nga, Phuket, and Surat Thani until July 27, according to local production manager Peston Films.
Vin Diesel, the lead actor who portrays Dominic Toretto in the film series, posted a video on his Instagram on June 25 after he and fellow actor Michelle Rodriguez finished the first day of shooting. He did not specify the filming location.

I wonder if Vin has to report back into Krabi immigration after he takes a trip to Phuket for a couple of days ...
