I stream everything now. I don't own a DVD player anymore and my laptop is a new mac and there is no disc drive (it's external now) so I don't buy DVDs. They are usually dust collectors for me. I much prefer watching online. lolI'm lucky, I already saw Sapai Jao, but I much prefer Pope with that girl Nychaa - it would have been a much more sensitive love story. He looked at her with hate & boredom at their first meeting, that would have led to a more striking plot but ..... ahh, no use wishing..... So your plan should stay - to download while it's available is a good plan.
I love actual DVDs because they're usually box sets with the colourful illustrations & extras everything. hahaha..... when I was crazy over the movies Twilight their DVDs comes with a special edition watch & crest & has a limited carrier case which is really beautiful! But problem is I think Thai movies DVDs sold in the market hasn't got the subtitles. One online seller clearly said it's a handwritten cover envelope! I've got one of the ex-colleagues now living in Koh Samui & last Christmas I made a list of the the DVDs I want to keep - Jam Loey Rak, Roy Leh Sanae Luang, the 5 Jutathep brothers series, etc - his staff went to buy but there's no subs.
