Thai Property News is looking forward to this summers’ film festival.  Not to be mistaken for the Bangkok Film Festival, the Bangkok International Film Festival was first organised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand in 1998, and is now an established world player on the cinematic festival scene.

In the Official Competition there is one film every night, while the festival is topped and tailed with premières on the opening and closing nights. Prizes – the Golden Kinnaree Awards – are given for Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Cinematographer and Best Screenwriter, and there is a Lifetime Achievement Award.

The festival takes place in a number of cinemas in close proximity: both the EGV Grand and Metropolis, the Major Cinemplex in the World Trade Center Tower, three screens at the Apex (Lido 2, Scala and Siam) and SF Cinema City in the Mah Boonkrong Center.

The full programme is available on the Bangkok International Film Festival Website

MrB says…

Bangkok still offers tremendous value compared to other regional and international property options, and strong underlying potential for growth.  Prices of prime properties in Thailand are still a fraction of those in neighbouring countries.

Hong Kong is selling prime properties for more than one million baht per square metre.

Singapore for 600,000 to 750,000 baht per square metre.

Shanghai and Dubai are now selling for well above 200,000 baht per square metre, having started at the same level as Bangkok in 2003.

So now you know.

Fortune favours the brave……Vote on MrB’s advice?
