Two years after the birth of the movies in 1895, film came to Siam, with small booklets in Thai explaining the plots of foreign films. Indigenous films began in 1900 leading to an industry, whose 'golden age' was the 1930s. Today Thai movies are enjoying a renaissance and achieving international acclaim, while Thai movie posters are very collectable.
