Whether you are a local or a tourist should have a different movie experience from 40 baht in the oldest theatre to 3,000 baht in the mysterious 'Enigma' Cinema in Bangkok.If you want to do it to celebrate your valentine's day in 2016 that would be a choice!

Enigma Theatre - 3,000 baht
If the 'Bangkok Airways Blue Ribbon Screen' is the equivalent to flying business class, then Enigma is exactly what flying first class would be. Paying 3,000 baht to watch a movie is the ultimate show off in a town full of social contrasts. Of course you get a little something extra for that price: Sofas with plenty of cushions and some extra food before the show in a ultra posh lobby, but most of all you get the bragging rights! You can now go around and state 'I watched a movie at Enigma last night, it was OK' and everyone will look at you with awe and envy... just act casual, pretending you do this every weekend, and not like you just burned a big hole in your pocket!

Where: Paragon Cineplex (Siam Paragon mall - BTS: Siam)

4D-Plex Theatre - Movies on Steroids
4D-Plex is the latest in movie entertainment, making the good, old and controversial 3D look like a flat and rather boring experience. 4D requires the 3D glasses of course, but the fun comes with the moving and vibrating seats synchronized with action scenes of the movie. That's not new will you say, but wait, there is more! The really twisted features are the 'Environment Effects' as they call it: wind, and a spray of water on your face during raining scenes, fog, strobes, lasers and even bubbles for the romantic scenes... how delightfully cheesy.

Krungsri IMAX - 200 - 500 baht
See More, Hear More, Feel More' sums up everything Krungsri IMAX has to offer. It's the ultimate movie experience with an eight storeys-high crystal clear image, digital surround sound, and the special IMAX 3D goggles that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Experience the adventure, drama and emotion of some of your favourite movies with the extraordinary visual clarity and sound quality.

IMAX takes you on unforgettable journeys of Hollywood offerings such as The Polar Express, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and The Matrix Revolutions, to name but a few. Not only entertaining, IMAX is also educational as excellent documentaries like the Everest, Into the Deep, Space Station, and the Panda Adventure are featured. Technically advanced and visually stunning, the IMAX Experience is the world's most powerful and immersive movie experience that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Nokia Ultra Screen - 700-800 baht

Where: Paragon Cineplex (Siam Paragon mall - BTS: Siam)

Watch a film in one of three VIP theaters with motorized reclining seats. With only 72 seats in one theater and around 30 seats in the other two, there's plenty of legroom here.Tickets include a snack and drink provided up to an hour before the movie in the cineplex's VIP lounge, and more importantly, a complimentary foot massage.

Tip: if you take two minutes to get a member card for 50 baht, you'll get a 100 baht discount on the VIP tickets.

Bangkok Airways Blue Ribbon Screen - Fly your Movie Business Class - 1,500 baht for 2
If a normal movie theater is equivalent to flying economy class in a humongous airplane, the analogy works even better here, since Bangkok Airways took over the Nokia Silver Screen and renamed it the 'Blue Ribbon Screen'. For a mere 1,500 baht for 2 (all seats are couple seats, you can't book just one) you have access to a fancy and colourful waiting lounge where free drinks, wines and beers are served accompanied by some cute petit cakes. The ticket even includes a 15 minute foot massage if you are a bit early or shopped too long! Once the movie starts, move to one of the two rooms where each of the few couple seats is set in by an alcove to isolate viewers from their neighbours. Naughty, naughty. Seats recline just like La-Z-Boy and come with a comfy pillow and a silky blanket. Waiters come and take your order if you want some more drinks but this second round will be charged. This is great value for money and you should experience it for a movie you really want to watch, just don't fall asleep in the comfort of your bed, and hope that your neighbour doesn't start snoring either! 

La Scala Movie Theatre - The Vintago Experience - 100 Baht
Some people want to show off with the latest and greatest experiences, but let's be honnest, some of the high-tech cinemas lack soul. All the machinery and gadgets can't hide that the essentially look like shiny black boxes. If you want a cinema trip with a slice of history then check of the Scala in Siam Square. This cinema was built in the 60s and they've kept the beautiful art deco architecture in perfect nick. The cheery chappy in a yellow blazer and bowtie has also been there since it opened. Just because the experience is vintage it doesn't mean the screen is, the Scala have kept their audio visual equipment up to date. The same can't be said for the seats though, one bonus modern theatres have is precious leg room.

RCA House Theatres

For the more discerning viewer, we also recommend the RCA House theatres at RCA (Royal City Avenue). Royal City Avenue is located off New Petchaburi Road, and is most reknown for its 'clubbing' scene. RCA House is a bit more difficult to locate than most theatres. If you use public transport, the best way is probably to get by MRT subway to the Petchaburi station. From there, take a taxi down New Petchaburi road, RCA is located about 3-4 km down the road in the eastern direction. 
RCA House screens foreign language movies (with Thai and English subtitles) and movies that are not 'big' enough to be screened at popular theatres.

During the daytime, there are hardly any visitors, but traffic to get there may be a problem. So maybe the best time to visit is on saturdays and sundays (less traffic congestion). The first time you go there, give yourself ample time. The theatres are not exactly hidden, but you may need to ask directions from the 'locals'.

Where: 31/8 Royal City Avenue (MRT Petchaburi station, take Exit 1 and then grab a taxi to TOPS supermarket in RCA)

SF Cinema City First Class - 700 baht

Where: MBK SF Cinema City (MBK shopping mall - BTS: National Stadium)

No beanbags here, but you get the same deal as with SF's two First Class theaters in CentralWorld: lounge, snack, drink, couches, in-movie food service. There 60 seats in this one.The services available at the MBK branch can also be found at the theaters listed below, all priced at 700 baht.

SFX Central Lat Phrao First Class

Where: SFX Central Lat Phrao (Central Lat Phrao mall - MRT: Phahon Yothin, short taxi ride away from BTS Mo Chit)

SFX Central Rama 9 First Class

Where: SFX Central Rama 9 (Central Rama 9 mall - MRT: Phra Ram 9)

SFX Central Chaeng Wattana First Class

Where: SFX Central Chaeng Wattana (Central Chaeng Wattana mall -- take a taxi from BTS Mo Chit or MRT Chatuchak. This one is well off the tourist trail.)

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.
