- It is, perhaps, the attention to detail that sets Falcon Hill apart from other luxury properties in Thailand.

Bangkok, Dec 24: The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has decided to postpone the Bangkok International Film Festival from late January to July 2007, due to certain scheduling conflicts between the multiplex and the organizer that was contracted to host the event.

The festival last year commenced in the famous Paragon Cineplex on the top floor of a colossal shopping complex in Siam Square area. According to the TAT International Public Relations Division director, Mr. Chattan Kunjara na Ayudhya, it would be a better alternative to postpone this film festival and negotiate with other cineplexes as soon as possible.

Originally, the festival was scheduled to take place from Jan 29 to Feb 5.

TAT last month cancelled a contract with the American firm which ran the festival for the past four years. In an unexpected move, the tourism board has invited Kriangsak Silakong, director of the competing World Film Festival of Bangkok, to serve as the festival's interim director.

"It's best that we postpone the festival, and we will proceed to negotiate with other cineplexes immediately," Variety quoted Chattan Kunjara na Ayudhya, the TAT's International Public Relations Division director as saying.
