    @house989710 months ago 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.

    @caragio10 months ago My aunt had run a cloth & sewing accessories shop in Lat Phrao, and she's bought her supplies from Sam Pheng for over 20 years. Back when I was a kid I have been following her to Sam Pheng sometimes and it was so boring for a kid like me X-D. This place was almost never changed. ... 10

    @surfandturfr3 months ago This is a great little video. I've wanted to come to Thailand for the longest time now. I can't believe the magnitude of items in those markets or how many stalls are set up! Blows my mind! Its like a little village. I'd love to see a jewelry store that sells real gold rings and pendants on chain's. I love seeing what each country has to share with the world. ...

    @nuttsrisukplung131810 months ago 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. Pak Khlong Talad 😁😁🙏🙏

    @candyeyesblue10 months ago 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. ... 1
  • @
    @cl682510 months ago 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!😂 ... 1

    @mytube918210 months ago Hey Serg! Today I just watched video about a workerless (automated) convenience store called "Lotus pick & Go", I thought of you because I remember you're a Lotus's customer. But NVM, the market in this video is so cool that it makes Lotus Pick & Go becomes meh. Can't imagine how old exactly are those Vespas but what makes them so cool is that they're still in use, not in a gallery. I figure you big guy slip out the despicable me wallet (you should really buy it ;) to pay for a drink in 7-11, that must be very funny 😂😂 ... 3

    @tg916.th.214 months ago 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.
    That aside, great video! Sampeng is my favourite market in BKK

    @f4r0ng2510 months ago Sampheng market is a wholesale market. The price will drop if you buy it 3 prices+ but if you go to that market around 2AM-4AM you can bargain a little bit more.
    The man in uniform is not police. they are municipal official there duty is to take care of cleanness and order on the footpath (take care by law not to clean it by themself). You can see the difference between police and municipal official by look on there rank on the shoulder. police have sliver color rank and municipal official have gold color rank .

    @kayun-chan-pit86428 months ago 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. ...

    @MikeHoncho8846 months ago I think I figured out the man satchel, at least what it would be for me if I was brave enough to carry a purse. It’s a poop kit!!!
    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 .
    I hear the poop kit is essential in Southeast Asia.
    Just an idea I guess you don’t hear too many people talk about that kind of stuff on their YouTube channels. I would say it would be essential kit. 💩
