- YaliTaichung, Taiwan11,104 contributionsArrival at the exit station next to BTS SIAM in Bangkok It is said that there are more than two hundred international high-end fashion stores and international cuisine No wonder ever and ever people are full of excitement and extraordinary Especially food streets, supermarkets and Starbucks are more crowded In the ground floor there is a sea world where you can observe aquatic creatures Many food street food to buy a reserve card first and then go to the meal avoid the meal period will be better if the meal is delicious You can shop for international brands here, but if you buy local brands in Thailand, go next to Siam center or Siam discovery.Visited January 2025Traveled with familyWritten January 30, 2025
- Harold A1 contributionThe seats were comfy, the sound and picture were excellent. This is a world class movie theater in every way. Helpful staff got us our tickets on the kiosk. The whole place is visually stunning. The popcorn all seemed to be flavored with cheese or caramel and none of it tasted like fresh popcorn. It was just yucky.Visited November 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten November 25, 2024
- I_S_B_LSingapore, Singapore2,129 contributionsWatching movie in the VIP theatre was an absolutely enjoyable experience! From the pre-movie lounge food (A welcome drink, a tray of canapés & a food & drink of your choice) to the plushy adjustable armchair with a cushion and blanket provided for, everything was perfect! The toilets for VIP movie theatre goers are also luxurious! Worth the money to give it a try!Visited July 2024Traveled with friendsWritten July 2, 2024

I have been in Thailand 7 times before, but the last time August 2023 was totally different then before the pandemic. The prices is much higher, around 3 times more than before the pandemic. And it was crowdy everywhere. To much turists, I think that's why prices is sky rocketed. Not worth it at all, especially if you travel with family. The hotels is in bad shape, even 5 stars hotels, the renovation is a word they are not familiar with. I live in one of worlds most expensive countries, but still I can see prices higher than here. I don't know how people effort this. I traveled with my 13 years old son for 3 weeks and we didn't do much of activities, but we still managed to spend around 10.000 dollars.

The website was reasonably easy to navigate so finding a film playing with English subtitles (or an undubbed English language film) was fairly straightforward. The staff were helpful when I purchased a ticket. I wanted to pay cash so I needed them to use their cards to access the automatic ticket machines. The cinema itself was spectacular. It had all the up to date conveniences while the decor was also reminiscent of the Art Deco picture palaces of the golden age of European cinemas but with a modern twist. Extremely comfortable seat, even in the cheapest section. For a cinefile the experience of seeing a film in Bangkok was a treat in itself and also a welcome break from the hot, dusty streets. The reviews that say that as you are walking through the shopping mall you when you are near the cinema because you can smell the popcorn are absolutely true!

We had a private showing of Top Gun because nobody else was in the theatre. If you want full blown luxury, choose the enigma cinema. You can order food and drinks before movie in a beautiful lounge. Once you are seated (laying down on your bed!), they will bring you popcorn and drink with just the push of a button!

VERY BAD. Waste of money. You will pay for seats and the aircon is not cold. You sit and cook. I requested staff to lower aircon twice, they said they would call someone. Nothing changed. Don't waste your money here you will be very disappointed !

Not something you would think of usually as a tourist experience but it was for me! Spent a day here - initially just with the intent to go to the cinema but wow it is amazing here. The sheer range of high end quality was a novelty. It makes a nice foil to the usual Bangkok tourist things to do. Recommended.

Wide range of branded stores. Clean, spacious, and good AC.
It's connected to Siam Center, Siam Discovery, and near MBK center too.
I love the aesthetic theme.

Visited this cinema twice both times went to see the 4DX screen. The tickets cost 400 Baht pp, but there are many different screens such as iMAX etc. Normal films are around 170 Baht pp and the most luxurious nokia shadow screen costs 3000 Baht for two people (inc food, cocktails etc).
4DX is where the seat moves and they use air, water and smells to enhance a movie. It is amazing and worth the price of entry (which at first I thought was expensive). The seats were comfortable the quality of the picture and sound was almost perfect. I wish they did cinemas like this everywhere.

Seats are not that comfortable, but they let you keep the 3D glasses. There is a mini market to buy drinks and snacks. That is very good as we have some time to make up our minds what to get for the movie.

Paragon Cineplex has a wide selection of theatres, ranging from normal ones to the gigantic Siam Pavalai and Imax theatres.
Normal ones are just like any other theatre in Bangkok. Cold and with those seats where the back reclines even if you don't want it to.
The Bangkok Airways Blue Ribbon Club theatres are the luxury version, where you get access to a pretty lounge and a free drink or popcorn/soda and a free 15 min massage at a price of B800 per head. Comfy seats when they work and recline, but unfortunately that's not always the case.
Siam Pavalai is a gigantic theatre featuring a balcony. It's worth having a balcony seat at a movie here just to see the stunning theatre itself.
Enigma is like nothing I've seen anywhere else. Very classy lounge where you get a hot snack and drink of your choice before the movie. The theatre itself has no seats, but rather very comfy sofas with dividers between every two seats. Makes you feel like you're at home in your own living room, but you forget that when the show starts and the most impressive sound and picture I've seen in any theatre appears. In my home town we have two THX approved theatres (one of them actually far exceeding the THX standard), Enigma makes those sound like an old boombox. At B2000 per head it's probably not the place you'll visit too many times, but it's worth it.
The Imax theatre hasn't impressed me much on my 5-6 visits. They always have problems with the sound at one point or another, at one show they couldn't get it working at all, and gave me a refund. I went to see a Harry Potter movie here a few years back which had some scenes in Imax 3D and the rest was 35mm. They seem to have a problem with the 35mm projector, as the picture had a lot of vibration to it. They might have switched to all-digital now though.

Thought I might give a comparison between the two screens which I experienced in the last 2 days
Cost - 900B for VIP (weekday)(The Hobbit) and 1000B EDS (public holiday) (Night at the Museum)
Lounge - both offers private lounge access with the EDS being more private and exclusive
F&B in lounge - EDS adopts a help yourself approach with juice and finger food which opens 1 hour before movie starts. VIP has an attendant waiting on you with a menu of finger food which includes Haagan dass ice cream and OJ, starbucks coffee or even a 15 mins massage. I cannot remember what the other 2 choices are. VIP allows food and drinks to be brought into the cinema but EDS only allows food and drinks only if you purchase it from the bar.
Cinema - both seats are comfortable but I found the blanket offered in EDS did not fully cover my body whereas the duvet provided by VIP did.
Incline - Both cinemas offered lie flat seats but I could see my toes sticking out at the bottom of the movie screen for EDS where as my toes were just below the screen for VIP and in my opinion, viewing that was not obstructed.
Hope you find this review useful

Hi, we are visiting Bangkok soon.
I can't see any 4DX movies on at Paragon Cineplex. We always like to see 4DX movies.
Are 4DX movies still showing ?
Will they be starting soon?
Written September 26, 2022
Yes, always in just about every cinema in Bangkok. Usually about 10 mins of previews before the film commences.
