Scala, Bangkok’s last standalone cinema, has confirmed that it will be closing its doors to cinemagoers for good this July. As we ready ourselves for the farewell party this weekend, we asked BK readers to share their memories of the legendary theater.

 

 

 

"Thank you for the experience, Scala" – Twitter user @sy_azhari

 

 

"My boyfriend (at that time) (now husband) proposed to me in front of Scala with all my beloved one, like 20 of friends. Scala is our first place to date (bike in aday event) and my dream is having the married party at there. It is my core happiness memory, the best day in my life happened at Scala. Thank you <3" – Instagram user @aquaholiic

 

 

"I used to come by myself when I'm lonely, and just sit there watching movies by movies, at times I'll watch 2 or 3 movies in marathons l, just want to sit in the crowded place and cry without anyone noticing. I was broke, but scala was really affordable for me. TT " – Instagram user @merrypuri
