-- Today,(07th.), a'noon. I went-to THE STATE CINEMA. OUT in SAM RONG.
- ETA.: 13.hrs., (hoping to catch any lunch.-time visitors in for a quickie.);
- Adm'n.: 50.Bh., (60. Bh. for those arriving & parking their own cars in the forecourt.),.
-- I followed a young-looking & Thai:Chinese man along the soi and into the cinema, but lost him as the tkt. clerk took so long to give me my change.
- Possibly another dozen spectators therein?
- All films were hard, ortho-sexual & Chinese porn..
- Initially no success at all - certainly not flavor of the day/week/month or whatever.
- Eventually the a/m. Thai:Chinese man & I met; after a while he suggested that we go to the toilets, with wch. I agreed. What followed may be written later - but suffice it to write that he was 'Ready, Willing & Able.'.
- I stayed until approx. 14.30.hrs. and the above was my only success.
-- A couple of points for the Health & Safety conscious -
1.- The curtained ent'ce. into the actual movies is not at the back, as in many another cinema, but right in the middle; one ascends a dozen or so steps. Thus it's probably better to stand there for as long as it may take until one's eyes will have adjusted to the gen'l. gloom and a rough idea of where the aisles etc. are.
2.- The only safety lighting of the steps UP and DOWN is by the steps to the spectators' RIGHT; I didn't count the steps UP to the back this time, but -from an admittedly amnesic memory - there are possibly 12 steps UP a small landing - on wch. there's a fan, (so watch-out!), and then a futher 16 steps UP, (again, watch-out for the 2 fans!), to the walk-around by the back wall. (My much earlier posting of this movie-hse. has an exact count - for wch. scroll back.),.
