I know this has been raised before but it never ceases to amaze me that with such an ex-pat population they never seem to show films with their original soundtrack or even English subtitles.

Here in Bangkok all the cinemas I use show the movies with the original soundtrack with Thai subtitles, even in a predominantly Thai residential area, and the locals seem to enjoy it.

I saw Hellboy2 in KL a couple of weeks ago; it had its English soundtrack with subtitles in Malay and Japanese.

Perhaps it's a cunning plan to get us to learn Thai, or to ensure there is a market for pirated DVD's.

I dont know about anyone else but I always prefer to watch foreign language films with the original soundtrack.

I wouldnt sit and watch Ong Bak or Pans Labyrinth for example, with English dubbed over it.

I wonder what the Thai thought on this is.
Watching what is apparently one of the best all time performances of a villain in the Dark Knight, with piss poor Thai dubbing over the top.

None needed. Films downloaded from the net, carefully checked and sourced, English language every time :D

ST's method works for me, the BuksiMax this weekend showed the latest Batman flick, Vantage Point, Hancock, Wanted and Wall-E (which was the best IMO) - all in English.

mininova.org, you have to read the comments and know your uploaders as there is a lot of shite out there.

I seriously reccommend a film I watched last night called City of Ghosts, based mainly in Cambodia. Brilliant.
