Oscar Theater (ออสการ์เธียเตอร์) - Spectral Codex
ออสการ์เธียเตอร์

Oscar Theater was established in 1976. This large complex features a long lobby with an escalator leading up to the entrance of the main theater hall. It was renamed Oscar Cinerama (ออสการ์ซีเนรามา) later in its operating history. It closed down in the early 2000s and much of the surrounding retail space has been converted for use as seedy massage parlors and the like.
