: First, while riding a Baht Bus (Cab/Taxi thing) I saw an ad for the "Nong Nooch Tropical Resort" Sounds like a nice place.
That's pretty cool - and not a little funny.
: Then, while sitting in my ASSIGNED seat in a theatre to watch Pearl Harbor, curiosely enough, a message appeared on the screen. "Please pay homage to his majesty the king" and everyone in the theatre rose to their feet at once and sang some song that I will assume was a national anthem of sorts. Anyone ever have assigned seating at the movies?
I have been assigned seating - it still happens now. They don't seem to play the National Anthem anymore, which is a shame - I always quite enjoyed that. Oh well, something else that has disappeared from our cinemas along with smoking (how enjoyable?) and a nice lady coming round in the interval (interval?) selling ice cream.
:Anyways, it was nice to see all the European men and their young prostitute boys stand for the National Anthem in the theatre.
What do you mean by "stand"? Nong NOOCH!
: No bootlegs of viewaskew in this country either. Go Asia go.
Wouldn't you get pissed off as a film maker if nobody wanted to piate your films? Alright, I know that's not a sensible thing to say, but do you know what I mean?
