Locked Up Abroad

(TV Show – 112 episodes of 60min – 2011 & 2018)

---

Also known as Banged Up Abroad in the UK, this popular show has been to Cambodia twice shoot the Locked Up Abroad episodes set in Thailand. Due to the sensitive nature of the scripts, it was not possible for the Raw TV crew to film in Bangkok and Thailand, so Cambodia was chosen as an alternative.

Successfully doubling rapidly developing Phnom Penh for a megalopolis like Bangkok is increasingly feasible, as new skyscrapers are added to the city skyline each year. For these Locked Up Abroad episodes, all the drama re-enactments were shot in Cambodia, including some very complicated recreations such as Don Muang International Airport. Airport locations were dressed in 48 hours, including check-in desks, uniforms and an x-ray machine sourced via the Cambodian government.

Other complicated scenes included several recreations of prisons and cells in Bangkok. Hanuman Films was able to secure permission to film in a Cambodian prison on the outskirts of Phnom Penh.
