We went to the posh one in Bangkok's Paragon centre and they hand out blankets!<br /><br />I forgot to mention that I'd just been swimming when I went to see Hooper and was really looking forward to getting the taste of sea water out of my mouth. That's when I tried salted popcorn for the first time!
