Capital Cinema

Locations

Capital Cinema was likely built sometime in the late 1930s or 1940s in the old downtown area of Bangkok. Over the years it was renamed several times and may have also been known as New Capital (นิวแคปปิตอล) and later Charoenkrung Theatre (เจริญกรุงเธียเตอร์). It finally closed down in 2006 after spending several years screening mainly adult films. Not long thereafter it was renovated into an electronics shopping center, leaving almost no trace of its original function.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
