(Photo by Varuth Hirunyatheb)The final curtain has dropped at the Scala movie theatre, which closed on Sunday amid rumours the building will be demolished to make way for a new development by its landlord, Chulalongkorn University. Management and employees of the 51-year-old movie theatre donned yellow-shirts which read "SCALA 5/7/63 Last Show" to bid a final farewell to the Art-Deco theatre in Siam Square. Parts and memorabilia from the Scala theatre will be exhibited at Nong Nooch Tropical Garden. Located at Siam Square, which is owned by Chulalongkorn University, the Scala was the last stand-alone theatre in Bangkok.
