 Being a Caribbean setting and judging by the low profile of the bodywork, the windscreen, and a GM family resemblance, I'd guess it was a 1955-63 Bedford

The filming location is Tailand not the Caribbean Islands so it makes the manufacturer a bit more uncertain but Bedford is still possible.

Divided (two-piece) windshield and front wings faired back into the cab doors do not match either Bedford A-type or J1/J5/TJ types which were the main normal-control chassis styles made by Bedford in the 1950s and 1960s.

Still searching for more clues or confirmation I think.

 How about this?

... described as an Austin Loadstar, but I'm not sure that's right ...

 Good thought chris40. :) Although it could be the later Morris-Commercial WE/Austin 3-Ton which used the same cab. I can see a few details that could match. A pity that the thumbnail picture does not look to be working.

 Austin 303 3-ton I believe - There is enough additional detail visible under the bonnet here (on the slightly later model with the one-piece windscreen)...
