The old dame of arthouse cinema recently turned 12 and continues to screen independent films from around the world with Thai subtitles. There’s a small cafe inside, too. Tickets B140. 

 

These vintage cinemas located in the heart of Siam date back to the late 1960s. Screening both major and independent films, crowds flock not only for the B100-120 tickets but also photo ops in Scala’s ornate lobby.

 

A shop-house turned private club dedicated entirely to film. A membership fee of B200 grants you access to nightly cult film screenings (see schedule at goo.gl/UVfEt3) and a library filled with film books and reference materials.

 

SF Cinema screens it fair share of blockbusters but does also host festivals, such as the seven Swedish films screening this Sep 7-11. Look out for We are the Best, the highly rated drama on an all-girl punk band in the '80s. Tickets B120.
