For Thailand's benefit, the ministry will propose Thai stars with good English skills to take parts in foreign movies. Some tourist destinations will be recommended if Thailand wants to promote itself in the international film industry as a good location for shoots.
Initially, Mrs Kobkarn will ask movie production teams to work in the Northeast during its major festivals that reflect local lifestyles.
"We will invite foreign production teams to know several locations in the Northeast when there are important festivals that represent tourism and Buddhism such as the Ghost Festival, Buddhist Lent candle parade and the Songkran festival," the minister said.
She cited the James Bond movie Spectre, shot during the Day of the Dead Festival in Mexico, as an example.
