Thailand has a long and rich history of filmmaking, dating back to the early 20th century. The first film screening in Thailand was held in 1897, just a year after the Lumière brothers’ first public screening of a motion picture in Paris. Since then, Thai filmmakers have developed their unique style and approach to filmmaking, with many films exploring themes such as family, society, and the supernatural.

In addition to filmmaking, Thailand also has a rich tradition of film-going, with many cinemas and movie theaters located throughout Bangkok and other major cities.

In recent decades, Thai cinema continued to evolve and develop, with filmmakers exploring a range of genres and themes. The 2000s saw the emergence of a new wave of Thai cinema, with the country’s filmmakers gaining international recognition for their work and organizing brilliant film festivals in Thailand.
