The Beach Opening Scene

If you're a traveller, you get this movie. Simple.

Precicely. You should tell that to my stalker, Leo!

ฉันฝันว่าสลัมมันจะเหมือนขาดในภาพยนตร์เรื่องนี้

This opening is extremely well written in my opinion

กำลังมองหาหลักนิยมความคิดใหม่ๆของสังคมคนหนุ่มสาวรุ่นอีก 50 ปี

This gives me hope and purpose in life

The beach (Maya Beach) is actually much more beautiful in the real life.

Tourists appreciate things…Travelers appreciate people

Went into a random movie on night, and this was it. This line changed my entire perspective on travel:

“And as for traveling alone, Fuck it. If that's the way it has to be, then that's the way it is.”

The movie was filmed in smaller city of Krabi that stood in for Bangkok. Too difficult to have filmed in Bangkok.

Bang ❗️ Bang ‼️

I read the book. it much much better and detail.

You got anything to smoke ?

Cranberry juice 🤭

traveling in the early 2000s was so great because there was no bs social media and smartphones in everyone's hand at every corner of every street, shit was real back then

นี่มันเรื่องจริงเขาก็ยังมีชีวิตฉันก็ยังมีชีวิตยังไม่มีใครเสียชีวิต สงครามเวียดนามมันผ่านมา 50 ปีถ้าฉันอยู่ที่นั่นจริงก็คงตายเสียชีวิตไปแล้ว

แต่ความเป็นจริงแล้วกูไม่ยุ่งกับใครอยู่คนเดียว

Bangkok is nothing like this lol

In Phuket right now. Patong Beach cheers

25 yrs ago i lived a wile in thailand,,,the good old time.compeer to now

Snake blood how is it a thing, now Thai girl

ฉันว่าเมืองใหญ่ๆอย่างละครดูไบนี่มันดูสวยงามอลังการงานสร้างก็จริงแต่มันขาดชีวิตจริงๆของคนที่ดิ้นรนต่อสู้มันสวยงามมีสีสัน

โว้ยเขาเรียกว่าอาหารจานด่วน street foodมึงกินได้มึงก็ไปทุกที่ในโลกได้ค่ำไหมนอนนั่นตื่นมาก็กินแล้วก็เดินทาง

Could have been an amazing movie. The theme of it is awesome. Seeking paradise and who doesn't want rhis? However it devolved into a s bit of silliness. Would have been better keeping it more realistic.

Went to Asia in 1998 it was wild back then ....this movie reminds me of those days

I love the Beach.
Now that's what I call a real vacation 🏝️

Hahaha going to Bangkok next month

[ Leaves after the shot ] Hey ! you pay now !!!

Does anybody know what and where is located the Buddha statue in the opening scene?

ทุกวันนี้รู้สึกจะผิดกฎหมาย

Love that tune 👌

We are getting old

This movie came out when I was 16. My first backpacking trip started in Thailand.

2022... love bangkok.. thanks leo

22 years later and its still one of the best films ever made.

Apparently there could be a sequel-prequel series for The Beach in the works 👍👍🙏

Cool movie. Thanks to obeysteve for sharing what what such an important moment in digital history.

This movie has some flaws, but this opening scene is just amazing.

If you’ve are a traveller you will know nothing is free. Snake blood costed approx usd10 …anything that is made to sell is not an adventure ….maybe for a white boy yes … Nevertheless this movie made me wanted to travel 22 yr ago … and leftfield music is epic!

And if it hurts, it's probably worth it.

My name is Richard, so what else do you need to know, stuff about my family or where I’m from? None of that matters, not once you cross the ocean and cut yourself

khao san road is a grestest place in the world that you can find a reason the live.

I love this film

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar...
Never fail to be polite and never outstay your welcome. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We all whish...

As a former peace corps volunteer I loved this movie. The tourists and people at the beach are dead on.. the traveling life is so well depicted.
