  • Do you like to shop? Do you love bargains? I sure do! Join me as I go shopping at the cheapest market in Bangkok, Thailand. This is where most dealers come to buy their goods here in Bangkok - Sampeng Market. This is THE wholesale market that anyone looking for a cheap shopping experience, and downright bargains, must visit in Bangkok. I will give you a full tour of the market today. Well as much as I can, as there are over 500 stalls at this market. So many bargains on shoes, hats, clothes, bags, watches, accessories, baby items, shirts, jewelry, small electronics, household goods, and anything else you might be shopping for. I was blown away at these rock bottom prices and selection at the Sampheng Market. Truly a shopper's paradise! Like to shop? Then watch this video! Oh, and why so many vintage Vespa scooters at this market?

    Hello Serg! Vespa are mainly used for delivery for these stores because it can do heavy lifting items. For example, one of the vespa was filmed carrying a few rows of fabrics.
    Sampheng district was concentrated with textile wholesale stores so vespa are main delivery vehicles of choice for every stores for more than 40 years.

    • @LifewithSerg
      @LifewithSerg  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Yes, we are very close to the little India district. There are many garment shops there and I have some very many vespers running around. I think another reason is because the two-stroke motor has more torque, so he can carry heavy your loads.

    1. A police officer you saw. They are not police officers, but officers at the municipality. They are in charge of keeping public spaces tidy and taking care of sidewalk trade. They only catch people who sell things in excess of the area and sell things on the sidewalk. and sales on public areas He seized and confiscated all the things that were for sale.
    2. The reason why this area is full of Vespa In fact, besides Chinese people, near this market is a large fabric wholesale market called Phahurat or Little India. The market is full of people from India and there are many Indian restaurants. And Vespa has a factory in India. Therefore, Vespa is a very popular model in India. It has both durability and strength. People in that area will use Vespa for carrying large amounts of things, especially fabrics.
    3. All this area is called Old City. This area will be the center of all trade and wholesale markets such as Sampeng is a general wholesale market. Near this market is a large fabric wholesale market called Phahurat. The wholesale market for audio and electronic equipment is called Ban Mo, the wholesale market for gadgets for phones and computers is called Suea Pa Market, the wholesale market for motorcycle and car parts is called Worachak and Klong Thom, whole sale tire is call Wong Wian 22 or the large flower wholesale market open 24 hours.

    • @LifewithSerg
      @LifewithSerg  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah they are super durable and the 2 stroke motors have way more torque than 4-stroke motors. So this is likely the reason, as they can carry heavier loads with the 2 stroke engines.

    The old Vespa especially the model you saw is the best motorcycle for carrying huge loads that is perfect for the shops . They are very durable have strong chasis. That old model is not being built by Vespa anymore. But still there are many Old Vespa communities and lots of garage in Sampheng area. I used to have 3 of them to carry heavy stuff for my shop. Furthermore, that old model has almost the same price as the brand new motorcycle.

    • @LifewithSerg
      @LifewithSerg  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I am well-versed in motorcycles and scooters. These are old two-stroke Vespa scooters. I think one of the main reasons they use them is because the two-stroke engine has more torque, and can carry heavier loads than the modern four stroke scooters.

    • @candyeyesblue

    Have a theory on all those Vespas. In a marketplace that large, they are like the fastest mode of transportation, and time is money. Like those bike delivery dudes in San Fransisco that weave around all the traffic and deliver the goods fast. There's a lot of goods at this market to deliver! You're right, I would have so much fun at this place. Glad we got to rummage at your old trotting grounds the other month!😂

    • @LifewithSerg
      @LifewithSerg  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, you’re right on that. The question I had was why vespers and not other bikes. I think the answer is because the two-stroke engines have more torque than four stroke engines, and these bikes are a lot more solidly built for carrying things around. I know that if I brought you to this market, you will probably spend more than all day there. Lol.

    4:20 These guys aren't police, they're City Law Enforcement. As you correctly said, they inspect vendors for licences, and enforce basic laws- stuff like saying where vendors can or can't park, they also collect taxes from vendors. City law enforcement does work that isn't important enough for police to handle.

      Yes, those are actually from the late 1970s or the early 1980s. I know that they’re old. I think they’re using them because they have two-stroke engines, and they have more torque does a four stroke engine. This allows them to carry heavier things.

    They are not policeman, they are Bangkok city officer (in Thai, we called them TED-SA-KIT). They prevent merchants to sell on the road or footpath. They have right to arrest and fine, but just for ones who sell things on the prohibited area, such as, footpath and road. For criminal related issues, we still have to inform the policeman. If you visit Sampeng, please beware your bag; keep it in the front because there are some gangs (both Thai and foreigners) who, sometimes, use razor to cut your bag to get your stuff. They are so professional as they can do very soft, fast and unnoticeable. By the way, here, if you are not careless, you will really enjoy shopping at this place. Well, in recent years, there are more and more merchants from Mainland China selling stuff here as well. If you can speak Mandarin, you may get different feeling.

    All your cleaning supplies for taking a dump. Some dude wipes, some half sheets of paper towel and some toilet paper inside of a Ziploc freezer bag. And maybe a couple (handkerchiefs multipurpose)
    You can get a handkerchief wet and tie it around your neck or around your forehead or just wipe your face with a wet rag, ring it out and hang it on the outside of your bag to dry .
    But I think I’ll stick to a backpack .
