An exterior view of the doomed Paknam Rama.

An old movie theater in Samut Prakan on the outskirts of Bangkok established in 1970. It went out of business in 1981, perhaps because the locale was less obvious than some of the other cinemas in this part of town. Demolished in the early 2020s as part of an ongoing urban development project in the area. Unfortunately when I visited in 2018 it wasn’t feasible to inspect the interior.

Chinese characters adorn the corner of the building; this reads the name of the theater (北南拉瑪) in one of the local Chinese languages.
