FIRST OFF

After three tumultuous months in Israel, Sylvester Stallone and the crew of “Rambo III” have moved to Thailand, where Rambo will seek a quieter life as a Buddhist monk. Stallone is working in the northern Thai province of Lamphun, where the film’s opening sequences about Rambo’s monastic stint are being filmed at Prabudonabath Tak Pha Monastery. The 41-year-old star and his production crew will spend about three weeks and as much as $4 million of the film’s $31-million budget while in Thailand, a spokesman said.
