Do you really want it? Original soundtrack petition stalls at 400 names AWOL CAMPAIGN: ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK MOVIES IN HUA HIN

Add your name NOW! Go to www.ipetitions.com/petition/English_movies_in_Hua_Hin hua hin, thailand The petition set up by AWOL to try and persuade Major Cineplex in Hua Hin to have regular screenings of original soundtrack movies has accumulated just less than 400 signatures to date. While this number is indicative of the demand the cinema is failing to supply, it is some way less than was expected, given the estimated 4000 foreigners said to live here as well as the Thai population that lives and visits. However, even if only the people who have signed visit the cinema an average three times in a year, spending an average 250 baht each, that is still 300,000 baht of revenue being lost to the cinema from them alone. There is, of course, still almost two weeks of the petition to run, so if you haven’t signed it yet, or haven’t persuaded others to, then maybe if you want the impact of the petition to be greater, and have a greater chance of success, then you should think about doing so soon!

Above: Homer was an outcast when it was discovered he hadn’t signed the petition ahead of the Springfield vacation to Hua Hin Do you really want original soundtrack movies in Hua Hin? Then sign the petition! Tell your friends and colleagues! If you are a computer dummy, drop a note into Sabai Bar (see ad p 15) with your name, nationality and whether you live here or not and we will do the rest.
