Everyone knows piracy is rampant in Thailand, both for software and movies. It's an venerable institution.

There are a couple of Phuket cable TV stations that have the balls to play movies bought off Bangla road. Many are obviously filmed on video in a movie theatre. Sometimes the movie actually pauses for a bit while they switch VCDs. I had to laugh the other night, when some movie was emblazoned with the words "Promotional Copy. Do not sell."

It's also a laugh when they get the soundtrack settings wrong and, instead of the regular dialogue, you get the bonus track where a couple of actors pontificate about the film as it's playing.
