Locations

A 1970s vintage second-run theater on the southern outskirts of central Bangkok. It closed in 2006 and the building remains mostly unused into the 2020s apart from a 7-Eleven convenience store that has colonized the lobby. It has the same design as Bang Pakok Cinema only the metal panels are either covered with rust or painted a very convincing shade of ruddy brown.

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).
