Credit goes to you Damo for being such an entrepreneur and credit to you Ryan for being such a supportive husband. Its a win win situation and glad it keeps the whole family together.
My wife used to pass thru that border often from Phnom Penh. Funny that she used to have a clothing stall in Kandal market where she would buy Thai fashion from BKK to sell in Cambodia. The Chinese have garment factories in Cambodia to take advantage of the cheap labor therefore most of the stuff in that market are made in Cambodia. The really high quality items destined for the global brands usually ‘fell of the truck’ or didn’t meet the quality standards (wrong sowing, etc). Enjoyed the video and hope for your wife’s continued success in the clothing business.
Excellent insider view and tips for business owners in Thailand. Didn’t seem to have food spots. That would be helpful for workers and buyers. Aloha from Nebraska 🌺
This place looks a like places I’ve seen that resell clothing and other items in bulk. Clothing is sold by weight as opposed to by item which makes it a lot cheaper though is not guaranteed . The quality varies greatly aside as you mentioned has to be gone through and in some cases repaired or resent to some degree. That margins are great as the pricing usually is right around container shipping and handling to some degree as materials have no value where they are coming from.
Thanks to you both. I have a pair of Thai trousers on just now. Patterned and cost me 150 bat, love them so much. If you know of a Thai that has on line site would love to buy off of them. Long dresses as well. The sites I have looked att are 3 times the amount. Much love to you all, ❤💞💞💞💞
Well done Damo. Looks like you managed to get a good deal on your jackets! Ryan don't forget to take a ball of string with you next time. God bless you both and the family 🙏❤️😃
Good I am glad you went with Damo I hope you will go with her again then you get some time together! Which is nice! Love to see what Damos doing her job that's very interesting !! She a very smart creative woman
Great video Ryan you crack me up when you said you were lost and you couldnt find Damo. When you said it might be your last vlog I just laughed out loud. 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!
That market is amazing! Would like to see interesting clothes, didn`t you find the ponchos ? Demo loves her job that is a good chose... love from Germany
Really interesting market trip. I love the Chatuchak vibe, so we may just give this a whirl next time we’re in Amnat Charoen. Great soundtrack music on this one too - well done! 👍🏼
@@mikimoto99 No - Chatuchak is in Bangkok (where I live) - this market is near to the Cambodian border, so Amnat is closer than Ryan’s home near Buriram.
@@mikegray8776 no use arguing with you! Buriram is only 3.5hrs to Poi Pet, Amnat is over 7hrs!!! Check with google maps. I have not once mentioned Chatuchak🙄
Damo, you are quite the shopper. I am sure your products will be the best for your customers. Have great week. Share my salutations with Ryan and the boys. Ken
Ahhhh reminds me of my Visa runs up to Mai Sai, on the border with Myanmar. The market there is not as big, but they sell the same stuff in bulk. Surprised how quiet it is there. Everytime I went to Mai Sai, it was packed!!!
INTERESTING ! Ryan what hassle is it getting over the border, 3 times I have been to Cambodia, gets more complicated and time taking as well as paying the police.
We used to go there for my wife’s old shop…always bought basketball shoes and leather goods….a lot of fun actually…we loved it…but the heat…not so much…lol
What a place, amazing market. I saw a previous vlog when Damo and her sister and brother were there. Good that you are getting to experience it with Damo. Looks like there's all sorts to be had there. Love it. Your a good man Ryan, you know what makes Damo tick an let's be honest....happy wife, happy life !! Like a maze man, hahaha Its good too see that you aren't being harassed to buy as you would be if you were in Bali. Still no Poncho though....
That was a nice and entertaining one! How long does it take to go from where you live to this Ban Khlong Luek Market? You're not so far from Siem reap there, you should have made a little detour by Angkor 😂
Hi Ryan hope your well I’m off to Cambodia on Tuesday for new visa then back to Phuket on Thursday ! Hope you don’t mind me asking but how’s the lady and the little boy doing
Looks like Bobae Market in Bangkok, just ten times bigger and they deal in "bundles" (used clothes from Japan and Korea) rather than mass-produced clothes from China. Lots of bundle stores here (in KL), like you say, the contents of a bundle are pretty random but if you know what you are doing there is quite a bit of demand for some of the clothes - I have heard that some people even sell to customers in the US. Elephant pants - going price in Chiang Mai seems to be 100 baht, once in a while you see them for 90 baht. The last time I visited i brought back a half dozen or so as gifts.. 😁 Curious about how many you have to buy to get that 60 baht price.. if that's for one, it will probably go down to 40 baht if you buy a couple dozen.. at Bobae if you enquire about prices they will first ask you how many do you need.. Getting lost in a market.. yeah, it's easy to do. Three hours though? 😁 Come to think of it.. the only real reason I have for visiting Bobae is to buy socks by the dozen, and the halal food area nearby. There's a cool neighborhood behind it, too, where people live next to the railroad tracks.
Hi Ryan, just want to know what is an alternative for a foreigner to buy regional land not under Thai spouse's name? understand foreigner cannot own land. Are they a lease land or freehold land that you showed on your channel? Thanks for all the information in this channel super helpful.
I bet you can find my favorite brands there, and it's American Eagle, H&M, and Banana Republic. Everyone is picky about brand names, but at the end of the day they all made with the same materials and places... 😃
I've been a vintage clothes dealer for the last 20 years...and I've been meaning to go to this market for the last 15 years but never made it, I live in Thailand like you and have a marriage visa'', but I go back to England for 3/4 month to sell the stuff I find in Thailand. I find a lot for vintage clothing in the local markets and out and about to.. if you know your stuff you can make very good money..and its fun to do if you don't mind getting a bit dusty and sweaty. thanks from Nongsonghong
damn this was a cool video. im so intrigued at how the stock gets there. is it all unsold dumping? 2nd hand bulk? amazing nonetheless, thanks ryan and damo!
I am sure someone has already commented this but the way these clothes get into Cambodia are often from Christians in the United States. I personally sell on eBay and other platforms and know people who go to estate sales and yard sales just to find the vintage stuff. they often will buy out all of the clothing for a really cheap price then sell what they can and donate the rest to Asian missionaries. They do the same thing with south and central America as well. Which in turn shows you how much of a consumerist society The United States is.
Crikey, excellent market place. Mo has her head on right. It's all relatively cheap by western standards. I always get hammered when buying things. Not that I worry because I want to support the Thai's. 👍😇❤️
I really enjoyed this vlog Ryan and Damo, thanks! I love this kind of content; it's interesting to see how goods get reused and fixed along the way in some cases. I'm definitely keen on visiting that place! Thanks again 🥰
Very interesting I've passed by this market a few times and only ever had a quick look around, because it always seems to be really hot and dusty in this part of Thailand Can you explain more how damo sells them, is it an online shop only? How she do the advertising?
Interesting: Google suggests there are some markets with the same name around Bangkok. I wonder if they’re named after this one or if “Salt Hall” (or salt house?) was once a thing you’d center a market around.
Nothing better than a little retail therapy. Especially if there's a good profit margin. Can't go wrong making money doing something you love. WIN ! WIN ! 🙏

Many seller from Chatujak market go there to get a good condition secondhand brandname clothing and shoes for sale on they shop.
You have taught me a lot. However this episode is in the top 3 for me for sure.
Love going on these supply trips with you! Would love to see more of the colors etc that you use.
very cool way to shop in Thailand. Thanks for sharing Ryan.
Great video Ryan you crack me up when you said you were lost and you couldnt find Damo. When you said it might be your last vlog I just laughed out loud. 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!
For about 10 years I bought clothing in Pratunam market in Bangkok, and sold it at festivals during the summer in USA. Lots of fun times!
I have been to this market on quite a few occasions, most recently in February of this year, love it, so cheap
That market is amazing! Would like to see interesting clothes, didn`t you find the ponchos ? Demo loves her job that is a good chose... love from Germany
great episode and a place i would not have known about otherwise. Thanks ryan and damo.
Really interesting market trip. I love the Chatuchak vibe, so we may just give this a whirl next time we’re in Amnat Charoen.
Great soundtrack music on this one too - well done! 👍🏼
Do you realise how far this market is from Amnat Charoen? It is closer to Bangkok and Pattaya😉
@@mikimoto99 No - Chatuchak is in Bangkok (where I live) - this market is near to the Cambodian border, so Amnat is closer than Ryan’s home near Buriram.
@@mikegray8776 Amnat to Poi Pet is a 6.5 hr drive! We do Poi Pet from Bangkok in under 4hrs. 👍🏻
@@mikegray8776 no use arguing with you! Buriram is only 3.5hrs to Poi Pet, Amnat is over 7hrs!!! Check with google maps. I have not once mentioned Chatuchak🙄
We called into here around 15 yrs ago on the way back from Ankor Wat. I cant believe how much it has grown!😮
I run a second hand store in southern USA. This is thrilling to see! Thanks for sharing!
Damo, you are quite the shopper. I am sure your products will be the best for your customers. Have great week. Share my salutations with Ryan and the boys.
Ken
Thank you Ken! Shared your message with Damo 🙏🙏🙏
Wow, I live 40 minutes away from Rong Kluea,in Aranyaprathet and just across from Poipet ,Cambodia .Maybe only 3 hours from Angkor Wat too.
Yes one of my first wives twenty years ago bought from Cambodia too - it’s great your wife has good business acumen
We have a house about 20 minutes from that market and come there often if we are in Thailand.
Another great video Ryan!

I live 5 mins from there!!! Next time you’re there you’ll have to stop by!!!
Top Notch video Ryan .. I really enjoyeed it
Thank you!
So glad you showed temple pants!!! My gf got them for 100THB outside Wat Pho but so far your 65THB ones are the cheapest Ive ever heard of! 5555
who sang that song "all is fair in love and war" you played in the opening sequence...love the videos by the way !!
Looks like a bigger version of Chong Chom Market on the Cambodian border in Surin. Love walking around there finding stuff that I don't need. 😅
That’s it my friend - one of those bags was Lego for Otis haha - stuff we don’t need!
That was a nice and entertaining one!
How long does it take to go from where you live to this Ban Khlong Luek Market?
You're not so far from Siem reap there, you should have made a little detour by Angkor 😂
Hey, its about 3 hours drive :)
Hi Ryan hope your well I’m off to Cambodia on Tuesday for new visa then back to Phuket on Thursday ! Hope you don’t mind me asking but how’s the lady and the little boy doing
Awesome Ryan 😊
Good luck to you both , a word from the wise , tell nobody nothing ,or you will create competition. Too late , but god bless
Amazing, credit to damo, and her business, I loved the fact you got lost 😂😂 thanks for another top vlog!!
Glad you enjoyed it Alex - stay well brother 🙏🙏
Apparently shopping ups your dopamine levels- and if Damo can sell something, she'll get that dopamine high again. Winning!

My mother in law is into thai beef jerky and sausage, so we travel to border towns near laos and bring heaps home.
Groovy darlings...keep surprising us.
Very interesting,sincerely.
Love the video 🙏

Yes 👍🙏😁

It was cool to see. ❤
She like product over diamonds. That's a keeper =-). Good job!
I love those kind. Of markets in Central America. I can spend allday.
Any idea how far away this is from Nong Khai? Thinking we need to take a trip the next time I go back.
Probably about 4-5 hours 😁

Too big for damo to do school run 👍

Bet you miss Betty Blue on these trips. LOL ❤
Yea actually, we need betty blue back, she sells tomorrow however, end of an era!
Its really good to see the recycling of clothes en masse, the Phillipines have this sort of system with second hand clothes sold online
How long was the drive there from home
About 2 hours :)
Just 45 km from our house...👍
I live in aranya part time, we wholesale second hand shoes
It's ironic that Thailand is the biggest exporters
Good in Cambodia
I like these kinda videos,more things. About thialand.
