Banyan Tree Krabi in Thailand is celebrating the release of Jurassic World Rebirth, which features Krabi as the primary film location for the movie’s prehistoric landscape, with the announcement of a new family-friendly Jurassic Explorer package.
Inspired by the same pristine environment that lured Banyan Tree Krabi’s developers, Asset World Corporation (AWC), to build the resort, Hollywood selected Krabi as the setting for the fourth installment of the Jurassic World franchise, which debuted worldwide on July 2, 2025. The 5-star Banyan Tree Krabi opened in 2020 and features 72 pool suites and villas situated next to a lush forested national park and facing uninhabited islands in the Andaman Sea.
The resort’s new Jurassic Explorer package includes a Jurassic World Rebirth-themed welcome drink and snack; a half-day marine excursion to Hong Island and neighboring islands by local longtail boat; a 3-hour tour to discover the natural wonder of Klong Root (Clear Water Canal); a guidebook to explore the locations where Jurassic World Rebirth was filmed; and a 60-minute massage treatment at Banyan Tree Spa Krabi. The promotion also includes a special price on tickets for two persons to the Jurassic World Experience at Asiatique The Riverfront, Bangkok, an exhibition sponsored by Banyan Tree developers AWC, which features life-size dinosaurs and interactive fun.
“It didn’t surprise us at all that the film’s producers would call on Krabi as the setting for a dinosaur habitat,” said Haruethai Maneerat, General Manager of the Banyan Tree Krabi in a press release statement. “I can’t count the number of times I’ve had guests remark that the landscape is so abundantly natural. We are blessed with a beachfront view directly facing the spectacular uninhabited islands of a marine national park. This is one of the most iconic views a visitor to Thailand can witness, and it always amazes guests to know that this untouched paradise is millions of years old.”
Discover the Filming Locations for Jurassic World Rebirth
The excursion to Klong Root takes in the rivers and waterways seen in the penultimate scenes of Jurassic World Rebirth, where the surviving protagonists of the movie attempt to escape dinosaurs by paddling downriver through the dense jungle terrain. Guests who prefer to scout the filming locations independently can do so with the guidebook included in the package, which offers information on sites such as Phra Nang Cave Beach, adjacent to Railay Bay some 40 minutes by boat from the hotel; and Huay To Waterfall, which lies within Khao Phanom Bencha National Park, a 60-minute drive from the resort.
Scarlett Johanson stars in the movie as the leader of an expedition attempting to secure DNA from the dinosaurs that could have life-saving benefits for mankind. In a recent interview, the actress spoke of her love of Thai food and shared that her favorite dish is laab gai, a ground chicken meat salad that features spicy, sour and herbal flavors. Banyan Tree Krabi has introduced its own version of the dish called Jurassic Laab–A Star’s Wild Bite, with options of either minced chicken or ground beef and served with toasted rice powder.
Additionally, mixologists at the resort’s beachfront Kredkaew Bar have created some new Jurassic World-themed drinks including The Raptor Forest, a blend of Midori liqueur, Chalong Bay rum, pineapple juice, lemongrass syrup, ginger ale and lime juice; as well as the Campari-based T-Rex Rampage.
The Jurassic Explorer package is available until 21 Dec, 2025, with a minimum three-night stay at Banyan Tree Krabi. For more information, visit: banyantree.com/thailand/krabi/offers/jurassic-explorer
