Creep into Nang Loeng's 107-year-old wooden theatre for heartbreaking classics

Hidden away in Nang Loeng, Sala Chaloem Thani continues its quiet revival with another weekend of classic film screenings inside the beautifully restored 107-year-old wooden theatre. Since reopening last year, the venue has built a loyal following through thoughtful programming and an atmosphere no multiplex can imitate. This month’s ‘Classic Love’ pairing, curated by the Thai Film Archive, matches Cherd Songsri’s tragic Thai romance The Scar with William Wyler’s Roman Holiday. One delivers heartbreak from the Thai countryside, the other follows Audrey Hepburn weaving through Rome beside Gregory Peck. Somehow, both hit harder inside a creaking century-old cinema.

May 23-24. Free. Sala Chaloem Thani. Screenings from 4pm. Free tickets available from 3pm on a first-come basis
