What we’re about
This group features both in-person and on-line movies. This will include documentaries as well as mainly "art house" type films. Also included will be all Oscar-nominated films for "Best Movie" shown in Bangkok cinemas each year. Movie discussions are an important part of our events because they enable our members to get to know each other.
Joining this group is a good way to meet interesting people (Thais and expats), socialize, and make new friends over coffee and film discussions as well as see great movies at various Bangkok cinemas. Some movies will also be available online.
Everything happens in a relaxed atmosphere of coffee and snacks for an hour before the movie. In addition, you can stay with us after the coffee hour for a movie at one of Bangkok's leading cinemas. After the movie, we have an interesting 15-minute discussion of the movie.
