It's Christmas!

| Cinema in Siam Paragon, Bangkok which is equipped with 3D and IMAX theatre |
Interesting feature - automated ticketing machines.
These allow you to choose your own seats as well as a seating plan will be shown on the screen when buying tickets.
As shown below, the machines can be operated in English or in Thai.

| "Please select a language" |
And there are many machines in each cineplex so patrons don't need to queue for too long.
And in fact there aren't anyone queueing for them, at that moment at least.
Payment can be made by cash card or credit card.
Tickets are printed on the spot.

The walkway to theatres.
As seen below, cinemas enforce stricter security measures for both safety and copyright considerations.
In the cinema depicted below, patrons are subject to
security screening by means of the metal detector gate.
And as expected outside food are prohibited.
Very comfy sofas for patrons who are waiting for their movie.
They even come with popcorn and drinks holders.
The concession counters.
A priority lane, present in Singapore as well.
With white floors and posters above the ticketing and concession counters, the design of this box office appears to resemble that of Filmgarde Bugis+.
And their popcorn are also either sweet or salted.
Not sure if patrons can opt for a mixture of both flavours.
So how do the cinemas in Bangkok compare with that of Singapore?
It's all too difficult to compare.
Happy new year in advance!
