Thai movies are available on DVDs and VCDs. A few movies are still
obtainable on VHS videos (please enquire by email).
Current popular genres in Thai movies are teen romance, horror, comedy,
and historical or period epics. The quality of Thai movies has been
improving greatly in recent years with several movies achieving international
recognition.
THAI
MOVIES ON DVDs





ThaiNetCity sells
only genuine Thai DVDs. Our extensive catalogue of Thai movie DVDs is
second to none. Many Thai movie DVDs have English subtitles and this
is indicated on each product page.
Please read the important notes below before ordering.
IMPORTANT NOTE: TELEVISION STANDARD
Thai DVDs are mostly recorded in PAL television standard which is used
in many parts of the world but NOT in the USA where the standard is
called NTSC. Customers in the USA and Canada must have a PAL-compatible
television, or a DVD player that can change PAL output to NTSC output
in order to view PAL DVDs. Watching DVDs on computer DVD-ROM players
can avoid this problem.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: ZONE RESTRICTION
Zone coding is fixed on most DVD players and DVD discs. This is an attempt
by makers of DVDs to control where in the world the DVD can be played.
Thai movie DVDs are all zone-free with two notable exceptions. Zone-free
discs can be played anywhere in the world (with proviso that TV standard
is compatible). Zone 3 DVDs can only be played in SE Asia. The two current
Thai zone-coded DVD movies are Ong Bak and Fake. Customers wishing to
order these DVDs must either have zone-3 DVD player, or have a DVD player
that has had zone-detection disabled.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: DVD EXCHANGE/REFUND POLICY
We try our best to only send you DVD that you will be able to view.
This is why we request and require that you state the compatibility
of your DVD player on check out if you have potentially problematic
DVDs in your basket. We cannot however accept responsibility for incompatible
DVDs so please, ensure that your TV and DVD players are compatible before
you order. We regret that DVDs cannot be returned
for exchange or refund in the event of incompatibility. Many
websites have more information about DVD compatibility issues, including
this
one.
THAI MOVIES ON VCDs





VCD is a format
that is highly popular in Asia because of its low cost. It has become
the format of choice in Asian countries and has largely replaced VHS
videos. A VCD basically, is a CD-ROM with video data on it. Because
of this a VCD only has about one hour of video per disc, and the quality,
although good, is never as good as DVDs. The vast majority of DVD players
will play movie VCDs, as well as most computers and Sony PlayStation
consoles. There is usually not the same problem of PAL compatibility
for VCDs as for DVDs.
THAI
LAKORNS (TV SERIES)




ThaiNetCity stocks
EVERY LEGALLY AVAILABLE titles of Thai lakorns, however, very few titles
have thus far been released. This is because locally there is little
demand for them. Some unscupulous websites offer many more lakorn titles
on VCDs and on DVDs, but please be warned these are illegal, pirated
goods which are poorly recorded off the television, roughly edited to
remove the ads, then put on discs using smuggled or unlicensed disc
stampers covertly. Please do not support video piracy. Doing so will
hurt the people who make the shows, discourage production of quality
genuine items for sale, and hurt companies like ThaiNetCity and others
who guarantee authenticity of our products and refuse to sell illegal
goods.
