[@elund408]

Our local swap meet is lame, but our thrift stores have a lot of good stuff. I found a $2000 ice cream machine last week for $30 usd. My tips, go early, when I am selling, I am amazed at the people walking around at 10 am looking for bargains. the dealers bought the bargains at 8. Take cash, Bring small bills. Take a backpack, a magnifying glass, and do some research so you can spot fakes.

[@LifewithSerg]

Those are all excellent tips, thank you for sharing

[@ruthpaige6689]

This was a great video. Quite an impressive market with lots of variety. I enjoyed watching it and would like to see more. It is very interesting seeing daily life of people in other countries. Thanks for posting.

Then this will be your place!

[@keithd1219]

Reminded me of a friend who used to shop at flea markets all the time. I went to his apartment one time and he had a big bowl filled with full size chocolate bars on a living room table. I asked if I could have one and he graciously said yes. I took one but when I opened it, the chocolate was faded, somewhat white. I said, "hey what's with the chocolate?"....He said that he gets them at the flea for 5 cents each because they were melted in the heat but that they're still good.....I passed.

[@franktaylor7617]

😂 You sure that wasn't my grandma's house? She had the same Christmas candy in the same bowl for years. She said it looked nice so she would dust it off every year and display it. 😆

Went to this market last month when visiting bkk , went Wednesday , Friday & Saturday, picked up lots of cheap vintage t shirts , cheapest was 10B, although the band t shirts some of them 1000/1500 B , as there was no prices it was dual pricing more for the farangs , also picked some cheap records very happy with what I bought , will return next time come back bkk

[@LifewithSerg]

Yeah, it’s a great market. As far as the dual pricing, I’ve gone there with and without Thai friends, and personally, I have not experienced that, but I’m not surprised.

[@stevenhull5025]

My wife's sister from Malaysia travels to this market once a month to buy her clothing stock. She makes a pretty good living reselling from a stall in Malaysia.

[@LifewithSerg]

I can definitely believe that. The prices are so cheap at this market.

[@ddyeo503]

MY wife and I went Pattavikorn Market and I found this nude statue of a woman, but he wouldn't sell it without other things sitting next to it. We went back about 3 weeks later and the statue was still there, but there was another lady there, and she said she would sell it separately.. And a lot less than the first seller. So sometimes it pays to wait and you might get a better deal,,,,,,

[@LifewithSerg]

Yes that is very true. Glad you got it.

[@franktaylor7617]

😎👍🇺🇲 I have really great memories of the swap meets in southern California as a kid. We could run around all morning with a quarter looking for the perfect toy. If you had $.50 you were a king. 😆 Eventually they all turned into a Chinese knockoff resale mess. Hardly anything used. It was all car stereo speakers, cheep tools and no fun. Cheers brother. Thanks for sharing. ✌️

Reminds me of my Thai friends who I used to play basketball with. Back in 2001 they would get 2nd hand shoes and jerseys from JJ. The even went to the Cambodian border sometimes. I think a lot of these second hand items are donations from the US through Cambodia.

Hey Serg, I used to go to Pantip Mall at Ngamwongwan. Go up to 5th or 6th floor, there is an open space flea market type set up, on a whole floor. Think they even have an upper floor too later. But it has been at least 10 years ago. Perhaps you can go on a mission to verify if its still there. Good part , there is a/c. And A food court on 3rd floor if hungry. or thirsty

[@LifewithSerg]

I haven’t been to that mall, but everyone that’s gone in the last couple of years has said it is almost a complete Ghost Town. It’s pretty much deserted. I’ve got a very unique secondhand market video coming up. Stay tuned.
