After many Isaan residents who mobbed at the theaters for yesterday’s free screenings of “King Naresuan Part 5” went home annoyed and empty-handed, the military commander for northeastern Thailand said he’ll request another free screening from the junta.
But this time, he’d like it shown outdoors.
Lt. Gen. Chanchai Puthong, Commander of the 2nd Army Area, said there are only 35 theaters for all 17 northeastern provinces, which was not nearly enough to meet demand. He has reached out to filmmakers and suppliers to arrange at least 1,000 outdoor screenings.
The project will be proposed to the junta in order to give locals who live in small districts an opportunity to see the movie, Kapook reported.
