J Town Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I just did a browse of movies in Pattaya theaters and they are all Thai language only shows. Is this a consistent thing now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaver Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 It's all about domestic tourism. Western expats don't count. Not that they ever did. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there are none too many to count right now.... but in the past finding showings with English audio tracks was never a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post aussiexpat Posted August 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2020 Most of the new blockbuster movies seemed to have release put on hold anyway. As they are the ones generally shown in English maybe that's why? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yes there are not many films being released, I saw that at the Avenue they have one film in English "Ava" The cinema at Central Festival Marina ( A.K.A Big C north) has only shown movies in Thai language for a long time now ( Since the cinema at Royal Garden closed ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westerners are now in the minority for cinema customers. Why would the cinema cater to them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to watch a lot of Thai language movies without subtitles. It's fun trying to work out what they are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Does it matter, it is too cold to watch a movie, unless you are an eskimo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go occasionally, when I was a tourists coming here, and it was raining and there wasn't much else to do. There was a period of time some years ago when nothing decent was coming out of Hollywood, and you could buy a big screen TV, so I drifted away from cinema.

One guy usually more wealthy than the other. Family likes one guy over the other, usually the rich guy. Some violence between the two guys. There's usually a gun produced to add to the drama. Someone has an accident or an illness so see who "cares" the most. The occasional mafia character appears sometimes. All very predicable. ????

The hero wore a hat like a cowboy hat. When I saw one in Burma on a visa run I bought it. Still have it. However I don't get accosted by ghosts.

If you are in the village with no English channels, no need to watch a Thai soap opera, you are living it. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
