Actor Vithaya Pansringarm's unlikely career has seen him work with some of the world's biggest stars. At 57, Vithaya is one of a few Thai actors to have cornered a specific market: Foreign film productions shooting in Thailand. So while there's no Thai film invited to screen at Cannes this year, Thailand will be there in image and in person. At Cannes, too, the Thailand Film Office has a pavilion to promote the country as a destination for foreign film shooting. Sahajak Boonthanakit is another Thai actor who has worked in foreign productions since late 1999.
