Top 10 Movie Theaters in Bangkok, Thailand
Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

As far as Cinema experience’s go, this trumps them all! My husband and I are very frequent cinema goers (weekly), so we decided to visit the Paragon Cineplex in Siam Paragon & had an epic experience!There are different types of screens ranging from 2D,3D &4DX, but also different experiences to opt for like booths &VIP. We opted for the Honda Experience which is a VIP screen including snacks & lounge access. The tickets are only sold in sets of 2 as the screen is divided into booths of 2’s, so if you’re visiting on your own it could be a pricey option. We paid the equivalent of approx.£25pp, which included access to the Honda lounge, which has a fully stocked bar. We were greeted by a lovely waitress who explained what was included in our package and talked us through the menu. The menu included hot & cold beverages, bottles of water were also provided in addition, and food included ice cream, snacks and hot items such as spring rolls and prawns. We were shown to our seats in the theatre & there we were given a blanket & pillow. The seats were very private & comfortable - you could recline both the back and legs (separately), with a lot of room to spread out – just before the film began the waitress came over with our food & drinks &asked whether we wanted to order anything else.If there is a film you wish to see, or you just want a good way to escape the heat, I would highly recommend treating yourself to a unique and quality cinema experience at Paragon Cineplex.

Located in the crowded Siam square, this 50 years old legendary building is the last survivor of stand alone movie theatre in Bangkok. When I first encountered this vintage theatre, I was stunned by its gorgeous architecture and elegant decoration which is a perfect combination between east and west , a well mixed of classic and modern. An open-air lobby welcomed me with a spectacular 5 tiered Italian chandelier consisted of many glass spheres. As I climbed the staircase to the second floor of the lobby to buy a ticket, I noticed many magnificent arch pillars that support the ceiling. Between these pillars (on the ceiling) embellished lightbulbs centered at golden 24-pointed star ornaments. On the wall above an entrance to the theatre hall, settled some bas-relief sculptures representing many asia nations performing arts. Such a charming place ! I was completely love this theatre at the first sight. Ticket system at this theatre is also "traditional". Only a pencil and paper (which shows availability of seats) are needed. You choose your seat, staffs crosses it out, then you will get a (very cool) retro paper ticket and all that is (no computer involved). The best seat costs only 160 baht (while normal seat and medium seat cost 120 and 140 baht) which is still cheaper than the cheapest seat in other theatre ! Staffs were nice and polite. Most of them have been worked here for many decades. Staffs at the entrance wear yellow jackets (trademark uniform ?). I was told that seats were used to be 100% occupied at its prime (about 40 years ago). However, only about 20 seats were occupied in that day (pity for Thais that do not see the value of this theatre). I bought some snacks and a bottle of water before walked into the hall. After a yellow jacket guy torched the way to my seat, I found myself in the vast auditorium comprised of approximately a thousand seats (876 seats, to be precise) with an enormous screen. Advertising times and movie trailers here are short comparing to the other theatres. I sat on a comfortable seat all 2 hrs, overwhelmed with ecstasy. This was an ultimate movie theatre feeling I've ever experienced ! Honestly, the atmosphere of the theatre is more interesting than the movie. This grand theatre is frozen in time. I felt like I was back to the time when my dad was a young lad. Moreover, the theatre occasionally brought back some great classic movies to rerun in special Sundays. In my opinion, this extraordinary theatre deserves more than 5 stars rating. After the movie, I enjoyed a wonderful meal at Scala restaurant (authentic chinese cuisine, operated along the theatre for more than 30 years) on the first floor of the lobby. The restaurant has the same name as the theatre, all waiters also wear the same yellow suits as theatre's staffs, and its decoration resembles the theatre (western culture styles such as bas-relief sculptures about Aztec gods, arch, Doric order, beautiful statues of ancient European ladies). Foods, especially "Peking duck" and "sliced stewed pig ear", were fantastically delicious. Thank you Scala (both theatre and restaurant) for sharing a precious moment with me. Attended "The call of the wild" on 4 March 2020. PS. Very bad news is Scala theatre (and the restaurant) is permanently closed due to covid crisis. Legend becomes memory. Sooo...oo sad. Farewell Scala

As a huge fan of Embassy Central Screens I was doubtful any cinema in BKK could rival them for comfort and amenities, However, Emprive Cineclub indeed rivals Embassy Central Screens on every count. With one exception, I'd still give Embassy the edge on the friendliness and efficiency of their staff. But even in that indicator, Emprive is close on the heels. Part of the delight of Emprive is that simply finding and locating the Cinema (a short private escalator ride accessible just behind the food hall on the fourth floor of Emporium) gives one the feeling of finding a private screening room. Tho make no mistake, each of the several cinemas is large, but the seats are very much in private screening room vibe. This is a delightful venue to experience any film.

thought we would go watch a movie in Bnagkok and went to the nearest place we could google.Got there and where told tickets are 56 AUD and were quite taken aback but went along anyway.When we went inside we realised this was a first class service,so elegant and stylish.The seats are very comfortable and they are sofa beds.you are also given blankets.There is a mini bar next to the seat with cold beverages including alcohol and a call bell if you need staff.Inside there is a lounge where you can eat snacks and fruit and get more drinks.It was a nice experience but to expensive to do everyday.

This multiplex cinema is situated within a wonderful mix of shops, supermarkets and a vast array of food outlets. I was impressed with the sound and picture quality and the seats were extremely comfortable. The interior decor resembles those English Theatres of the 60s. Well worth a visit combining with shopping and eating.
