The Last of Us comes to life in Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines

The new HBO GO streaming sensation, The Last of Us, is a series based on a video game of the same name that takes place in our world of an alternate future 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed. The series is led by Pedro Pascal.

Storyline

In the HBO GO series, Pascal plays Joel, a hardened survivor who is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal and heart-breaking journey as they both must traverse a dystopian U.S. and depend on each other for survival. Now, HBO is bringing the world of “The Last of Us” to life in Asia for you to immerse yourself in the world of the series.

Thailand

HBO has only set up locations like this in three places and one of them is in Thailand where you can see, deep underground at the MRT station of Phahon Yothin, Thailand, the cordyceps infection has left the tunnel in ruins.

Cordyceps also runs along the walls and ceilings in the Sukhumvit tunnel with the infected man embedded against the walls of the tunnel. As you exit through Phahon Yothin Station, you are introduced to the characters of series. Visit Sukhumvit, Phahon Yothin from now till 13 March 2023 to experience it yourself.

Philippines

On one of the busiest roads of the Metropolis, the cordyceps have taken over the park, spaces, and bus sheds in Bonifacio Global City. As the sun sets, a glow-in-the-dark billboard takes over the night to showcase The Last of Us located at Boni-Serrano Avenue.

Even in the darkest of days, there is always hope and light found on graffiti walls in the cities of Pasay and Pasig, with the firefly symbol and the iconic message “When you’re lost in the darkness look for the light”. Experience this element of the series in the Philippines until the end of March

Indonesia

In the 47-metre-long pedestrian tunnel located in Dukuh Atas, an infected man has succumbed to his futile fight against the parasitic cordyceps. The installation was also spread across the tunnel walls of Terowong Kendal so if you happen to be in Indonesia, you know where to go to experience this.

Not visiting these markets anytime soon? Don’t fret, you can stream The Last of Us on HBO GO.
