I'm not able to offer any tips about suck cinemas in Bangkok, or anywhere else for that matter, since that's not my scene, but if anyone of you would like the masochism of seeing how outsiders see/depict the suck cinema scene, catch the filipino movie "Serbis", which had a screening in Cannes last year.
It's a story from the perspective of a Manila family that owns a run-down cinema which, now past its glory days, screens soft porn. The family lives in the same building, trying to cope with all sorts of family problems while maintaining what little dignity they have by ignoring what goes on inside the cinema hall. You guessed it - the cinema is patronised by hustler boys and their patrons.
