Iron Ladies movie

[Lefty]

Does anyone know if DVDs of Iron Ladies and Iron Ladies 2, the movies about the ladyboy volleyball players are readily available in Thailand still? In Thai with English subtitles or vise versa.

I was looking on Amazon.com and here it is in English, and Taiwanese Chinese with English subtitles.

As I often buy CD's and slightly less often buy DVD's I've recently done some looking around at music stores here in Bangkok.

The first thing is that both the decent music stores have gone.  That leaves us with Mangpong (scorpion brand)  and a couple of smaller chains.
After looking around several I think I can safely say that you have little or no chance of finding them in a regular store.

The small selection most stores have is either very recent releases,  Thai language movies  (mostly 6th rate horror and action films)  or a few older mainstream releases.
The best shop I found was a very small one on the ground floor at Panthip Plaza and their collection I rate as poor.

Your best (and easiest) bet is to ask at the stalls along Sukhumwit between Sois 3 and 7/1 Remember that different sellers set up their pitch at different times of the day.  
One of the best (and most reliable) used to show up around midnight and set up between Sois 7 & &/1.  I have not gone looking for him in a long time though.

Thank you RR, for taking the time to offer a helpful response. I was talking to another BM who is currently off line, about this. He suggested I try to find an online Thailand based vendor for items such as movies, music, books, etc. So, after some searching, I came up with this web site.
http://www.ethaicd.com/

They ship all around the world and have both movies at what I'd consider very reasonable prices.

Thanks for that link Lefty.

Obviously the site was not designed by a Thai!

I found out the versions of Iron Ladies they have for sale at the above web site do not have English subtitles. This makes them of little use to me since I do not understand Thai very well.
I did find them in DVD form on www.tlavideo.com though in Thai with English subtitles. I honestly think that watching a movie like this can help learn the other language for a Thai or English speaking person. They are not cheap though. $24.99 and $20.99 in US Dollars. They do ship to Thailand too, but not adult items. These movies are not considered adult items, so if you cannot find them over there in the format you prefer and you want them, this is an option.
