hi everybody Simon again so this is Bangkok
Chronicles number seven and what I've decided to do I'm going to do a separate
video and put up in the next day or two of how the story of me and the wife how
we met dated married visas and all the rest of it I'll put a separate video up
as I say and then but she will be in the bangkok chronicles as well with me on
the story just in case you don't watch that one you can follow the story
through this so last time we were talking about again in Chinatown I'm
making a lot of money on purses handbags and this sort of thing and we touched on
sunglasses today I'm going to move up the road carry it on to the top of
yellow rap road to where the canal is a little bridge over canal and shortly
I'll drop onto an interactive map with you and show you that now this I was
always into computers wasn't so much into the consoles the Playstations and
Xboxes and things but a friend of mine was really into helicopters
remote-control helicopters another friend of mine was into cars
remote-controlled cars and they both mentioned to me that spare parts they
had to import from China and they cost a fortune and was there any way I can have
a look around to these bits and they gave me a list of bits they wanted now I
went up and down this yeah or a road so many times and I never saw the secret
entrance to this one zone when I found it and got in there I was amazed
now the laws are mentioned on the map about the Playstations and Xboxes of the
day and this is back when we're talking to PlayStation twos you could chip your
Playstations so that you could play copy games but the law stated if you had the
original game you could have a copy game as a backup and that's how they got
around the laws and things I wasn't really interested in buying copy games
because again it's counterfeit but all these hidden shops under here they had
thousands of these copy games but they also sold all the chips so you could
chip your Playstations with instructions in a little pack they also had really
good prices on memory cards as well black discs also and when I got into
this zone I've started buying these bits and pieces the PlayStation chips
especially I bought a few there was different models slightly but abort a
few and I tried them on eBay and they sold very quickly really well
competitors were selling them about 24 pound at a time and I went straight in
at 20 pound they would cost and be sick spanked
so those started moving really well there was all the electrical bits and
pieces there with computers consoles down there but as I went along the zone
then there was an area of all these different board games and different
pieces it was something I wasn't into the toys for the kids these different
characters and things I didn't understand it I kept off that one then
further along all the remote-control stuff and it was just it was fate all
the cars helicopters all the bits so on a second visit took all the paperwork
from my friends handed them over to a couple of people
and yet they had everything I had all the prices my friends will pay I'm from
China with the shipping and it was 70% cheaper but time I shipped them my
friends would say 50% at least so after us communications they're friends so I
bought all that stuff shipped it all they just paid costs I didn't make a
profit on my friends you don't do that but I said to them if they've got other
friends in their clubs and things who want these parts then okay I'll do that
and they can put profit off me and they'd have a bit of a profit as well
and I did a few parcels for their friends but not huge market but their
consoles that was going to be a daily visit for me for months I was my days
were turning into hip a walk breakfast in the morning and Pratt UNAM a
wandering over to the other side of town to Chinatown and then it was pick up
some handbags pick up some purses pick up some same girl as console bits and
pieces just like shopping every day and I couldn't gamble with buying those of
each item because the market on eBay was changing so so rapidly but because I was
going every day I was getting to know all the stall holders and I was asking
them questions of other stuff and they will point to me in many other different
directions so right now I'm going to drop on to the interactive map we'll put
that in here have a look at this so now I've dropped onto the maps onto the
computer to show you about but the areas which I was mainly buying and selling in
this is Chinatown now this interactive map you can actually go onto my website
Lander smiles Thailand calm go along to the YouTube the menu at the top to where
it says YouTube highlight YouTube in the drop down menu will come and you can get
this map in there on the interactive map and you
can actually interact with it it will show you
on the left here all the markets and where I'm getting the different items
from and this whole map a zoom out there's Bangkok and it gives you an idea
this top pass here if you can see the mouse hopefully is my where my Condor
was impressed now market over to the right here that is Nana Plaza saw a
cowboy and then here is the main center of Bangkok with the MBK Siam Square
Paragon all the shopping centers just below this here is patpong night market
and salon and the papal and stamen zone over here is Chinatown now from one side
of Chinatown right across to cable is about seven kilometers and about three
kilometers so I was working mainly in that 7 by 3 so 20 square kilometers
which is a lot that's big and you've got to get around but we'll talk about more
of us in other episodes but that is the interactive map and the main road coming
into Chinatown is the yellow rod road here and everything as i zoom in you can
see this is the main road running right up the middle here all the different
areas watches consoles handbags everything food zones mobile phones it's
all there and you can zoom in end point as I said and look on the left-hand side
there's all your information now if I come off there and go onto Google Maps
this might make it a bit easier for you the road here running down that is the
yellow rap road the Central Road of Chinatown and today
talking on the subject after I done all the handbags and wallets and purses I
was looking for other goods and this was a find that I absolutely loves finding
it was like a secret passageway but this area here right next to the clong the
Canal is where you will find the Sony PlayStation Xbox console games and again
legally you can chip your own PlayStation and Xbox and then you can
buy discs with the game latest games on providing you own the original copy
you're allowed to buy backup discs and this is how they got around chipping the
machines so people could use discs then instead of the cartridges and things but
now with the later Playstations and Xboxes its downloads or or discs anyway
but this area is where you've got it and this little square here it's well
rectangle this is where the market underground hidden zone is and at the
top end is remote-control equipment so we talked about that in a minute let me
show you when you walk up the yellow rock road and come up to the first canal
as a bridge here little bridge there's a hidden entrance and at the other end is
another hidden entrance and if I go to the street view so let me spin it round
I hope this isn't too jerky for you that thing there is central Bangkok and you
come up the our rap road this is Chinatown main road and you can see the
type of shops and side streets and stalls all the way along ATM machines
then you come to that little bridge now it doesn't look much the little bridge
but there's a canal under this bridge and much to my amazement when I walked
up here the pavement drops a couple of steps down here and the first few times
I walked up here completely missed this but between this building and this
building here is the canal and it runs along about 500 meters down there below
the pay for global curb is a couple of steps down there's a secret entrance in
there you go inside and then you're in the zone I just move onto the bridge a
bit more you can see between the buildings all the roofs here now this is
a canal running under long here Krong and they built over it probably
illegally of course but there is a load of shops hidden under there I couldn't
find any photos but if I come back down and we'll go down this road here so
there's your entrance there secret entrance and you come down this side
street and from memory again I'm sorry if it's a bit jerky but just about half
way along here in between a couple of these shops somewhere is a little
alleyway another secret entrance and it's it's hidden it's like down the side
of one of these little shops it is another entrance into that but you can
go to the other end which is along this road onto the next main road it's a bit
of a one-way system but if I now spin the camera around that's the traffic
coming towards you and then down there and the pavement again is
down here is the entrance this end and you can see all the rooms again so that
whole area is hidden and so hard to find but once you find it it's it's amazing
let's look over the tops there you can see down all those now this is over a
canal but look at these roof structures a metal
they've even got air-conditioning units on and under there somewhere is the
canal excellence area anywhere let's drop back on off the computer now now
we're back now you've seen that as I said you can get a map on the website
and you can have a look around yourself I will add more to the map and I'll try
and get as much as I can and it's all learning care for me this map thinks and
the PC how you get it into the video but that showed you the sort of street views
and things of what I was walking around and every one of those little shops in
the rural roads and the side roads were selling different products there was a
lot of industrial stuff around that area it was food carts and all the cooking
machines and things for people and the heated grills for making pancakes so
it's a really busy area but I naturally had gone up that road yellow rat road
and then along through the console market and that then took me into what I
would say is my favorite part and that is all that watch section and all that
other parts will come on to that on another separate video by the way anyway
through these series if you've got any questions about certain products prices
and things drop comments below this was fourteen thirteen years ago something
like that some of the markets have been demolished yes I know but those people
would have moved you will be able to track them down again prices I'm still
pretty clued up on prices on all the stuff for purchasing and selling
but any questions drop below and if there's anything you want to see
specifically in Bangkok that I might go again pop down below so there we go
another one with a little interaction on the map hope you like that so let me
know what you thought of the maps if there's anything you want on the maps
alone and I'll as a sales of a separate video on the wife watch out for that one
