Watching movies in the open air was part of Thai culture right up to the 1980s. With the advent of movie chains in retail centres the custom faded, but we can now relive those bygone days, and watch all-time classics in the greenery area of BITEC Buri Fest in Bang Na.
Bring your blankets and picnics to BITEC’s outdoors for a retro-culture movie experience as you watch 12 films nang-klang-plaeng style – traditional outdoor screening – from November 29 to December 15.
Romantic favourites feature Before Sunrise, Lost in Translation, Notting Hill, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and About Time making you wipe a tear as they tug at your heart-strings once again. Legendary award-winning favourites include The Shawshank Redemption and Fight Club; and Home Alone brings the Christmas spirit to Bangkok.
This two-week outdoor screening opportunity under the stars, presents a chance to watch these classics one more time with your friends and family and to take you back to those pre-internet streaming days.
Hideout Film Night, Nov 29-Dec 15. 6.30 pm onwards. BITEC Buri Fest. Book your ticket via Ticketmelon.
