Here, you can check which movies are showing at malls like Esplanade or Siam Paragon, what the movie times are and watch video trailers. Major Cineplex also runs excellent promotions, so do check here for deals on ticket prices before showing up. If you have questions, they also have a list of phone numbers for each of their theaters — although it may be difficult finding someone who speaks good enough English to answer. Location: The Esplanade Cineplex Ratchada; Sukhumvit (Ekamai) MRT: Thailand Cultural Center (The Esplanade) BTS: Ekamai (Major Sukhumvit) SFX Cinema SFX Cinemas is Thailand’s other main movie chain, with locations at the shopping malls Major Cineplex isn’t at. Their website is in mainly Thai, unfortunately, although there is enough English to figure out movie times and all the other information you need to decide if a movie is worth going to see. Designed under the 'boutique chic' concept, SFX Cinema at The Emporium shopping centre is stylishly decked out in a sophisticated black and scarlet colour scheme. The venue features five 200-seat cinemas, with stylish cream-coloured leather seats of various grades. Location: Sukhumvit, Phrom Phong BTS: Phrom Phong Tel: +66(0)2 268 8888 How to get there: Take exit 2 from the BTS Phrom Phong, and the walkway leads you right into The Emporium shopping mall. Century Movie Plaza The eight-story Century Movie Plaza is a lifestyle complex with eight cinema screens, food courts, a shopping arcade, karaoke club and edutainment area all in one place. It is the best cinema in the Victory Monument area, with 2,000 seats and futuristic interior design. Location: Soi Rang Nam, Phaya Thai Road BTS: Victory Monument Tel: +66 (0)2 247 1111 How to get there: Take exit 2 from the BTS Victory Monument and the walkway leads you right into the Century building. Movieseer One of the best ways to find out movie showtimes in Bangkok is by getting online and looking at Movieseer. A Thailand-Malaysian based company, they have listings for every movie theater in Bangkok, even the art theaters, as well as theaters all over the rest of Thailand. You’ll also get a synopsis of the movie, a video of the trailer and all the updated movie times. If you want a good deal for your money, your best bet is to see a movie at one of Apex’ theaters, as they really do have some of the cheapest movie tickets in Bangkok. Something You Need to Know The most important thing to be aware of when you attend the cinema in Thailand is that you will be required to rise for the Royal Anthem in honour of His Majesty King and the Royal family before the movie starts. Language and Subtitles In central Bangkok and touristy cities like Chiang Mai, Pattaya and Phuket, foreign films (such as Hollywood releases) have the original soundtrack (or 'soundtrack') with Thai sub-titles. Major cinemas playing Thai and other Asian films usually provide English subtitles. Check with the cinema first to avoid disappointment. 【Recommended Readings】 >>>Safari World Marine Park  >>>Lumpini Boxing   >>>Bangkok Balcony Premium   >>>White Orchid Cruise
