One of two gateways to the theater. This one also displays the name of Saphan Mai Market (新橋大噠叻) in a mix of literal and phonetic Chinese characters.

An old 1970s vintage movie theater near Don Mueang Airport in the Saphan Mai area on the north side of Bangkok. It closed down in 2012 and the interior was converted into badminton courts but the lobby looks much the same as it did while it was still operating as a cinema. In 2025 it lost its second lease on life as the old theater was demolished to make way for a residential tower, MUSE Condo Saphanmai.

The neatly-kept lobby exudes vintage charm and the movie posters, for film released in 2011, seem frozen in time.
