Jurassic World: Rebirth was filmed in Thailand. Here are the featured locations you can visit
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.

Cambodian PM Hun Manet warns Thailand: Don't cross the line on disputed areas
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Mr Hun Manet confirmed that Cambodia is awaiting discussions with the Thai authorities. CAMBODIA - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet has issued a warning to Thailand, stating that any attempt to block Cambodian citizens from entering the disputed areas could lead to serious consequences. He emphasised that the Emerald Triangle, Ta Moan Thom, Ta Moan Tauch and Ta Krabei temples are still under dispute and are awaiting a ruling from the International Court of Justice. Therefore, no party has the sole authority to restrict access at their own discretion, he said, stressing that the status of these areas must remain as it was on June 7, 2025. 'Let me make it clear the areas of Ta Moan Thom Temple, Ta Moan Tauch Temple, Ta Krabei Temple, and the Emerald Triangle are unresolved,' Mr Hun Manet said. 'We have submitted the matter to international judicial mechanisms. No party has the right to unilaterally block access to these areas. 'The status quo must be respected. Any attempt to restrict Cambodian citizens from entering would cross a red line and will be met with appropriate consequences.' Moreover, Mr Hun Manet confirmed that Cambodia is awaiting discussions with the Thai authorities, urging Thailand to unilaterally reopen the border crossing and restore the situation to the state it was on June 7, 2025. He added that if Thailand reopens its side of the border, Cambodia will follow suit within five hours to normalise operations. THE NATION/ASIA NEWS NETWORK Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Jurassic World Rebirth review: 3/5 stars- Johansson and Ali elevate a familiar franchise
Jurassic World Rebirth (PG13) 133 minutes, now showing ★★★☆☆ The story: Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion (2022), dinosaurs are extinct everywhere except for a narrow band around the tropics, because the zone most closely resembles the prehistoric Earth in which they once flourished. Mercenary Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) leads a team that includes fellow ex-soldier Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali) and palaeontologist Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey). They have been hired to raid an island to collect biological samples from three of the largest dinosaurs. Their mission is interrupted by a distress call from a family, whose sailboat has strayed too close to the danger zone. If the synopsis sounds familiar, that is because it was meant to be – the seventh movie in the franchise is a deliberate return to roots. And this is a welcome return, not because Jurassic World Rebirth itself is good – as nostalgia trips go, it is merely okay. But it was time for the series to shed its bloat. In the fourth to sixth films (Jurassic World, 2015; Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, 2018; Jurassic World Dominion), dinosaurs were normalised as theme-park attractions before becoming widespread all over the world. The creatures were sometimes the danger, but other times, an evil corporation was the baddie. The stories became a sprawling, loosely-connected set of adventures fronted by an action hero, Chris Pratt's velociraptor trainer Owen Grady, a character written to be generically likeable and therefore instantly forgettable. Rebirth reins it all in. The reptilians are now confined to one place because of 'science'. This set-up allows director Gareth Edwards to set up a heist movie - get in, get the goods, get out alive - with a focus on a single group. This he does extremely well, as he showed in previous character-driven action pieces that include the rebooted Godzilla (2014) and space fantasy Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016).

This means that main characters wear plot armour that protects them from death or serious injury – this reduces the emotional stakes considerably. Supporting characters with an instantly recognisable feature – an accent, or exaggerated machismo or a distinct headband - are marked for a gruesome death, a fact that becomes as clear as a face tattoo the moment they appear. The monster attack scenes are tension-filled, but weakened considerably by questionable computer graphics and character choices that make no sense, with exhibit No. 1 being the fact that someone would take a tiny sailboat anywhere within a thousand kilometres of a dinosaur island. As the covert operative who is the perfect yin-yang combination of toughness and empathy, Zora is made believable only by Johansson's abilities as an actress. Double Oscar winner Ali is also outstanding as her equally capable teammate; only an actor of his calibre can believably deliver dialogue about grief and heartbreak in one scene, then fight plane-sized raptors in the next. If Rebirth does well at the box office – and there is no reason to think that it would not – viewers are set for at least two more films featuring Johansson and Ali, with Edwards directing. It would be hard to think of three people more capable of carrying the franchise. Hot take: A competently crafted but predictably safe return to form that succeeds mainly through stellar performances, rather than genuine storytelling innovation.
