An impressive cinema that opened on New Year’s Eve in 1969. It became the last standalone theater still operating in Bangkok in the 2010s. Closed in July 2020 and demolished in 2021.

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.
