This bike auction you speak of, I assume they are 2nd hand bikes, are they auctioned off by the police as in the UK??? Do they have many models etc and where exactly on Thepprasit road does it take place?

The Motorbike auction is every Friday night across the road from Theprasit market. If you're coming from Sukhumvit, its a little past the beginning of Theprasit market in the corner of (I think) a open air furniture shop.

I was interested in buying a bike from there last year. The bikes are 'sold as seen'.

We got interested when the bikes were selling for anything between 2,000-15,000 baht.. We enquired about how to buy and there was a 10,000 baht member fee for the day.

You pay 10,000 baht and you can buy as many bikes as you wish, but only on that day.

It was full of Thai Guys buying many bikes, probably to re-sell.

You could probably get a good deal there, but the problem is not being able to run the bike and check it out before paying for it.

P.S. The above info was how they were running it last year. Maybe they have changed it since then, I haven't been recently.

10,000 baht to join in for the day only, or does it give you unlimited days ?
