About the Venue
The Friese-Greene Club is a small, private member's club in Bangkok. It is dedicated to people who have a passion for cinema; filmmakers, film students, film journalists, or film enthusiasts. The club serves Thai and Western food, including pizzas, burgers and snacks. It has a reasonably-priced bar.

Schedule
The bar opens at 7:00 PM. Snacks and food are available. The movie showings are at 8:00 PM. The movies are free for members but non-members can try out this fantastic cinema for free for a while without being a member.

Seats
This is Bangkok's smallest cinema but it's my favorite. You could even say it has a "First Class" section (free). The Screening Room (on the third floor) has the same type of plush seats used for regular seating by the Major Cineplex and SF Cinema City chains. The technical projection standards match the chains, with surround sound and HD projection.

There are nine (9) of these "First Class" seats and they may be booked (reserved seating) on the cinema's website. The rest of the seats are non-reserved.

Here is the link to book a reserved seat:
Go to: fgc.in.th
Then click on 'FILMS' at the top
Then click on 'BOOK A SEAT'

The other two floors contain regular seats and large-screen TVs, which show the same movie as the Screening Room.

Film Discussion
After the movies, the attendees gather in the bar to discuss the showing. Because you will meet "regulars" there who are avid classic movie fans, you will find interesting discussions. Also, the cinema owner, Paul Spurrior, was a British former child movie actor. He lives and works in Thailand as a writer-director. Ask him a question about any movie and he can tell you anything about that movie!
