khunsanuk Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hi, Bet one of my friends will be interested (he was an extra in Ong Bak, and played in a couple of Thai soaps, small roles). Thing is that I doubt he could make it to Samui, Any idea what they are paying? Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 They pay 1000 to 1200Baht per day plus food, clothes and transfers from Samui to Surat and back. They only want westerners for extras, guess in Blackbeards days there weren't many Thais in the pirating bussiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 KS - your friend could play the part of two extras if it's crowd scenes. DOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi, Guess that's about average. I'll let him know. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi, Just talked to my friend. Turns out he had already been to the casting (for a role, not an extra), but didn't get a part. He also mentioned that the director had said they are paying 7,000 Baht a day per extra. Sounds like the casting agency is making a shitload of money off of the extras. Sanuk!

limbo Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 7K a day, that's a lot. I'll check up on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Hi KS, My friend denies that they get 7K per extra, he only wished they would. It's kinda funny, on a website, he didn't specify which one or didn't know which one, it said that extras would get transfers and acco, so he was overwhelmed with calls from BKK. 55555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
