Pak Nam Rama ปากน้ำราม่า in Samut Prakarn 

An accidental find, I drove past on Sukhumvit by bus or car and noticed a large building that looked like a cinema, requiring further research on a separate trip.
13°36'07.5"N 100°35'52.8"E = 13.602083, 100.598000 
About 50 m east of Sukhumvit road, near BTS E19 Pak Nam (station complete 22nov2017 but not open to public).

All openings closed and locked, I couldn't see a way to get in. The area around the cinema is freely accessible and used as paid parking.

No article in http://seatheater.blogspot.com/search/label/Thailand - Samut Prakarn but mentioned three times with pictures (search for "Pak Nam Rama").

Update: interesting article https://www.pressreader.com/hong-kong/design-anthology/20191201/283197265199780?fbclid=IwAR01Z15Wbbolcnc-6k6AgiD9yG2KSbmVeTggwyh7nD6Nk3oWvMQF5ATxawY
