Dao Siam Theater

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.
