dont bother,the films are so old that they have been on the tv dozens of times.

I used to rent from Video EZ (there is one in most towns) all the time, You can become a member if you show your passport and some form of address ID, i.e rental contract. They charge you 99thb for the member card but they usually give you vouchers for a discount off the films. I think you can hire 5 dvd's a night. The only reason I stopped using them is I moved out of town and its too far now.

As said, take ID and proof of residence. I took my Thai driving licence and my rental agreement with me. Paid for the card and had no problems - apart from the language

Some have new movies in DVD format but the majority are vcd and generally Thai. Definitely never seen a lot of choice.

Often it is better to go to the market stall and buy a few or download your own if you want something more up to date.
