Happy Hours: Junta hosts two-for-one ‘King Naresuan 5’ happiness

Due to the unmet demand of last weekend’s free sceenings, the military junta and Sahamongkol Film will offer a special promotion to see King Naresuan Part 5.

When buying one Naresuan ticket, netizens can get another free starting tomorrow through June 30 at all theaters across the kingdom showing the film, according to Sahamongkol Film’s online announcement.

The movie is a period epic which establishes the general awesomeness of Thailand and, according to state-run, formerly independent media, left no less than 98.1 percent of viewers feeling proud to be Thai.

Free screenings of the movie were hosted on Sunday but couldn’t meet the demand as hordes of freebie-seekers queued for a limited number of free tickets.  Thousands of locals were reported battling, cutting in queue, and sprinting for a chance to see the period drama.
