Catching
a movie with friends or family, while sharing popcorn tubs and colas, no
doubt provides a bundle of enjoyment to most people. Even Thais love
doing the same. Many of them enjoy visiting cinema halls and cineplexes
during lazy weekends, along with family and friends. Especially, in
Bangkok, cinema-going proves to be an ideal entertainment package, as
the city is home to some of the best and biggest cinema halls across the
country. Stand-alone movie theaters are rare, whereas cinema halls
located inside shopping malls and arcades are the most sought-after.
Thus, apart from locals, these multiplexes also serve as popular
recreational source for many tourists visiting Bangkok.
As most cinema halls are located inside shopping arcades, therefore,
cinema-going is not just about watching movies, but also scanning shops,
eating good food, enjoying bowling, and the like. Besides, all
multiplexes offer excellent facilities, including comfortable seating
arrangements and high-quality sound and visual effects. In most halls,
the standard fare generally ranges between 100 and 140 baht per ticket.
However, those looking for more privacy, spacious legroom, reclining
sofas and pillows, can opt for 'VIP' cinemas/seats, in various
multiplexes, by paying around 300 to 500 baht. Given below is a list of
the famous movie theaters and cineplexes in Bangkok.
