/> Suddenly Bangkok beckons Bollywood bigtime. Half the film industry is currently stationed in the State Of Sin, though for work rather than pleasure.

First of all, the 4 As....Anil Kapoor, Akshaye Khanna, Arshad Warsi and Amrita Rao have been in Bangkok for a month shooting for Neera Vora's Shortcut.

Another A-star Akshay Kumar is also in Bangkok with his pretty co-star Deepika Padukone shooting for Nikhil Advani's Chandni Chowk To China.

Contrary to reports Ranbir Kapoor flew to Bangkok on Friday not to join Deepika but for a photosession for Filmfare magazine.

Bangkok, in fact, is currently the hottest spot not only for film shooting but also other glam-related events.

Priyanka Chopra flew to Bangkok last week to do an ad with Saif Ali Khan.

"It was touch-and-go because I had to wrap up the ad then rush back to Mumbai and then rush to Miami for Tarun Mansukhani's Dostana. But the rush was worth it because I always like going to Bangkok for holidays and work."

Sammir Dattani who's holidaying in Bangkok and Pataya with his friends,ran into several colleagues from the industry.

"The entire industry seemed to be there, either holidaying or working.And why not? Bangkok is a fun spot and at the same time very work-oriented. I shot for my comedy Dhoom Dhadaka in Bangkok. Now I'm back here for holiday."

Sammir sees more and more of Bollywood making a beeline for Bangkok this year, and never mind if Nagesh Kukunoor's Bombay To Bangkok was a big thud.
