Where to buy Thai DVDS?

Hi

I have seen several excellent Thai movies at the cinema and next time I am in Thailand I want to buy some on DVD.
However in my past searches I have only managed to find Thai language only or english hollywood movies.
Does anyone have any suggestions of where to buy movies (like "LAst Life in the Universe") in Bangkok, Phuket or Chiang Mai?

Cheers

Have a look here. But very few local productions will come out with English soundtracks. (If they do, they might appear on Amazon.com.) There are a few more with English subtitles, although those are often laughable. The local market is dominated by VCDs and you might find more choice there. Look at that category on the online store link I've given you. I've found them to be reliable and inexpensive.

In Bangkok, I recommend you to go to DVD/ VCD shops in MBK. Or it's available on www.Amazon.com

Cheers!

Excellent - thanks for these tips! Also Billp thanks for that link (free worldwide shipping -wow- shipping cost is what puts me off using amazon)

Pretty much every shopping mall has them and people speaking English to help you.
Beware of what DVD player you buy at home. I have a Samsung that does not play Thai DVDs, but my Sony does play them. Thank god, that restricts the Thai Karoke Pop DVDs to one room :)
