Bangkok - Nakhom Kasem Market

Notorious many years ago for the dubious origin of its merchandise, the Nakhom Kosem ("Thieves' Market") in the center of Chinatown still rather relishes its earlier bad reputation. The market should certainly be visited, if only for the unparalleled variety of goods on sale. Among the innumerable reproductions collectors with patience and a keen eye still have a chance of discovering a genuine antique, worth far more than its asking price. Nakhom Kasem is at its busiest in the evenings.
