Major Cineplex – Hua Hin
The Major Cineplex in Hua Hin regularly shows Movies with the original English Soundtrack
The Major Cineplex in Hua Hin is located on the top floor of the Market Village shopping mall, situated a few minutes drive of the center of town. As is common with a Major Cineplex there is also a BluO Karaoke and Bowling center on the same floor.
In the first few years of its opening it was rare to find any movies that were screened with an English soundtrack. Luckily this trend now appears to be reversing and there are regular showings of major releases with their original English language intact.
Screens on Offer
There are four screens at the Hua Hin Major Cineplex. There is no IMAX screen available in Hua Hin but there are regular 3D screenings on offer.
Seating Options
There are no plastic covered creaky seats here. As you would expect from the Major corporation, Hua Hin’s cinema has all the comforts associated with the other brand cinemas located around the country including a great array of seating options.
Even the cheap seats are comfortable with plenty of leg room, arm rests and cup holders but if you want to cosy up to someone then give the two seater ‘Honeymoon’ chair a try. For extra padding with reclining back there are Premium seating available.
English Soundtrack Movies
Many of the movies are now shown with their original soundtrack, be it English or Thai. If you see the lettering EN/TH displayed next to the film details then it means that the main language is English and the subtitles are in Thai. Likewise TH/EN would infer that the audio is in Thai with English subtitles.
3D Movies
You’ll find major movies are also shown in 3D were available, just check the show schedule to determine which ones. You’ll have to buy a pair of special polarised glasses to watch these 3D movies, normally around 150 baht each, but these are yours to keep and can be re-used on subsequent visits.
Ticket Price
Watching a movie in Thailand is not only cheaper than in Europe but the cinemas tend to be of a higher quality with some luxurious seating options available.
Tickets can be purchased online but if you want to grab yourself a ticket just before you catch the latest blockbuster then you shouldn’t have to wait long in line as they tend to be short here.
Tickets start around ฿120 for the regular seats. Love seats cost more, but even the most expensive seats are only ฿300.
There are now electronic ticketing machines available where you can check movie availability, choose seating and buy tickets. A Major Movie card is required for this but just ask one of the friendly assistants to help and they’ll take you through the process and use their own card.

Here’s a Tip: Some people find the cinema quite cold on account of the air conditioning being set low so you may want to bring a shawl or sweater to keep warm.
