Bangkok's BIGGEST Toy, Video Game And Camera Mall Is Wild
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2023
- I spent 27 years as a Vintage Toy Dealer in America. Today I take you shopping in Bangkok's biggest new and second hand toy, video game and camera mall in Thailand. Mega Plaza is a giant, 6 story mall with over 600 vendors selling second hand, vintage and new toys, collectibles, video games, cameras and so much more. I could easily spend 4-6 hours in this mall. There are just that many vendors here. Join me as I give you a guided tour of the best parts of each floor. If you love toys, video games, cameras and just about any other collectibles, you must watch this video. This is definitely the largest toy mall in Thailand, but it might also be the largest toy mall in the world. This is Bangkok shopping at its finest (if you're into new and vintage toys, video games and cameras).

I'm so jealous of you serg. How did I miss this in Bangkok. I'm pretty sure you're the first Thai based vloger covering this place. You're a star. Stay awesome sir.
It’s really a cool place! I’ve been there about four times, and I never get tired of it. Thank you so much for the tip!
Thank you so very much for taking your time to show us around and for making all of your videos so we can see ❤
You are so welcome!
Great! I have never noticed this mall, thanks for letting everybody know. The standard malls are seen on all main stream channels but Serg really comes out with great fresh content. Danke Serg!
Thanks Greg! Love that mall, so overlooked.
Awesome video! I can't wait to visit this Mega Plaza. I've added it to my itinerary!!! Thanks for the tour.
I was just there about three weeks ago. It was really busy on a weekend.
Staying in the middle of a little world of toys like these just stimulates my pleasant imaginations non-stop. This video just reminded me of your career back in the US which you already mentioned in the last year debut video, and it summarizes how you become a very good temper person like this. I really envy you on owning such a business and working with toys even for 27 years. Toy selling is one of my dream job.
Thanks! I absolutely loved it and miss it. It never felt like work.
This was really interesting and SO many cool things to see. Thank you for sharing this.
It’s such a cool mall!
I smiled at the toys in this place several times. Good job. ❤❤
Yes me too! Thank you, as always, for your support
Awesome find Serg. 🎉👍👍👍👍
This is why i absolutely love Thailand.
I love to live there....
So much cool stuff!
Merci Serg pour cette nouvelle visite vidéo de Bangkok!!! J'y suis allé en Juin et c'est incroyable l'endroit!!! à bientôt!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, the largest toy plaza in Sam Peng area I visited the plaza last 2 years and plenty of exquisite toys to cater for a variety of collectors...I collect diecast cars of all sizes...thanks Serg for sharing the information and visits have certainly been useful to many of us 🎉😂
I’ve been to the small three or four times, and I don’t think I’ve seen 20% of the items available
Great video Serg! Great coverage on the mall. I was there last month and felt like I couldn't finish with just one visit. Another suggestion is to try visit Thlong Thom Night Market just a couple of streets across Mega Plaza selling vintage toys with great price (right after Mega Plaza on a Saturday evening). Keep up the good job and the videos!
Thanks! That market is actually on my list as well. Are so many amazing things in that general area.
Dear Serg, your videos has made my life in Thailand much easier, enabling me to explore different provinces and engage in adventurous activities beyond the usual routine. Your videos are truly inspiring and have added so much excitement to my experiences. Remember to stay hydrated in the hot Thai weather! 😄
That just put a big smile on my face. I’m so happy that you’re finding them enjoyable and useful. Thank you so much for your support.
thanks again for a great video.....looking forward to the next one....Matt
Thanks Matt. More coming up.
That place is awesome! That place would bring out the little kid in me again. Thanks for the content.
Very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Thank you for your support.
Ton of childhood memories in this kind of place , remind me ma fav Comic n toys store Mile high megastore in Denver ..thats the place i always dig up an old comic grab a cool dc n marvel action figures.. keep up the good work serge 🎉🎉🎉
That’s the best part about toys, the brightness, our childhood memories back. Thank you, and enjoy.
definitely going to check this mall out when i go out there. thanks for sharing!!
You will love it
Nice bro, nice shop bring many memories of childhood my favorite toy was Legos bionicle and action figures of animes ❤ thanks for show me this shop, thailand is great 👍 have always had anything
Exactly! It’s all great childhood memories.
So cooollll! Tks Serg
Enjoy!
Really enjoyed this video. What a fantastic mall.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Been around there on Yaowarat only for the food, never been to that place,
Added to my to go list, Thanks for sharing mate!
Yes go enjoy!
First thing I noticed as well...Linkgo!🤣
My son would love to stroll through that mall with his eyeballs popping out. He wants to dress up as Mario, so I guess I'll be Luigi?
Awesom-O reminds me of Wall-E.
Marion with a wrestler's physique & couch potato Ultraman...gotta love it!😃
Great stuff, awesome content!👍
You guys would absolutely love this place. I don’t think he would be able to keep his hands off the giant Godzilla.
Very cool place Serg! It’s on my list of places to check out now!
100% worth a visit. Make sure you have at least a couple of hours.
Another great vlog keep up the good work
Thank you! Will do!
Mega plaza is great I love going there for 3-4 hours on my own. So much to see and the brick blocks are great. I’m always picking up bits . Mega plaza and fortune tower are my 2 must visit when I’m in BKk . Really enjoyed this vlog Serg 👏👏👏
Fortune town is excellent! That’s another video that I will make. I typically will not make any videos about shopping malls, but those 2 malls are really cool. Glad you enjoyed this video.
@@LifewithSerg thanks Serg👌👌 I got hooked on the LOZ Creator Series blocks and I went all over trying to complete the sets 😂. Fortune tower is vinyl Heaven 🤩🤩🤩 will look forward to seeing that in the future . Have a great even in BKK 🍻
blown away by this place Serg!! MIND BLOGGLING !!! Goodness gracious holy Mary mother of god!! WOOWWW I LOVED IT!!! I was puzzled by why a 200k baht plush Godzilla that is not for sale is just sitting on the floor like that.... that looked like the most expensive item on this video and yet everything else is on display behind a glass and locked door??? WHY?? (I watched a 6+ foot Mazinger statue in Tokyo cost about $3 or $4K on the floor on a store but anywhere else everything above 1 or 2 hundred dlls is always behind glass ) Also I didn't see any He-Man or MOTU stuff which are my favorite, im sure there were or are many figures and rare valuable variations made in Thailand! Did you see any of those??? Also the Elvira, Gremlins, Mazinger, Voltron stufff WOWWW
I’ve been to this place four times, and I’ve never tired of it. I talk to my friend who just bought one of these Godzilla‘s about five months ago. He said he paid ฿80,000, which is right around $2300. I didn’t see too many vintage figures. The Motu, Voltron, etc. stuff is really hard to find here. I’m still looking for a vintage toy market. I’m pretty sure I know where there is one, so I’ll have to go there and check it out.
I stumbled upon this plaza while staying in chinatown too. So much to see. The tiniest figure made its way home with me haha
Nice! So much cool stuff there.
Awesome! I'll have to take a look see when I get there! 555
It’s a must see place if you’re into this sort of thing.
Hi Serg, I collect elephants. I have about 350 or more elephants of various sizes from teeny tiny to a very large metal elephant. I have a picture of me with my first elephant when I was about 4 years old. I even rode an elephant at a sanctuary. I just love them. Take care and enjoy yourself!
Hey, that’s great! They are such gentle giants.
We visit Mege Plaza often...mostly for buying/trading photo gear.. T-shirts and toys as welll...Nice little food court on the 6th floor...Cheers
Yep it a cool spot!
Wow, it's mind blowing!
It sure is. This is my first time here, and I’m sure I’ll be back many more times.
best content bro. i ve been looking for He-Man and M.A.S.K for a long time. hope i can find it there in the Mega Plaza
Not sure you will, but give it a try.
Wow, definitely worth a visit, nice one :)
Oh yes, go visit!
Great thanks, we are coming back to Bangkok in 10 days and were looking to buy figurines for our nephews.
We're really going to go see this shopping mall... and then if I can find a nice Grendizer for me 😊
You will definitely find what you’re looking for there.
Mega Plaza is great, I go there every year.
Picked up some neat retro consoles there.
Yep great stuff there
This used to be the former Merry Kings Department Store. It opened in 1984 and today it is Mega Plaza. I have been there many times. It is really fun.
Ohhhh. I have no idea what it used to be. Thanks for sharing.
great video and SUPER COOL PLACE! i want to visit here someday 😍 hey @ 6:50 that chimp may be based on one from the 70's but that toy is actually from Toy Story 3, where the monkey is one of the antagonists
Ooohhh. I completely forgot! I’ve seen the movies, but because I’ve actually bought and sold the vintage version, I didn’t even think about it. And it was in the same case with all the other Toy Story stuff. 🤪 Thanks for pointing that out!
@@LifewithSerg np, also its so cool you are a vintage toy dealer! vintage toys are amazing
I connect that monkey toy to the 1984 movie "The Devil's Gift".
Very good move bringing the backpack!
I typically just like to put my stuff in my pockets, but this time is definitely came in handy.
The Rolex clocks are so dope, I don't collect anything specific I just buy it if its cool and cheap. I still have some toys from the 70s, original star wars figures.
I’m gonna have to go back and grab one of those Rolex wall clocks. It’s like the fourth or fifth time that I’ve looked at them, I think that means I should grab one. I don’t collect anything myself anymore, but I still love looking at old toys.
Hi Serge! long time no see. I just came back from Thailand for a few days ago.I was thinking about you. All I remember about the trip was " It´s hot like h.....l 😁 Hope you are well. Nice to see your video pops up on my feed. Take care and stay safe.💜
Heya! Glad to hear you had a good time and everything is OK.
@@LifewithSerg I have a lot to do at work. Nice to see you . Are you going live nowaday?💜
awesome stuff!
Glad you think so!
Thanks 🎉
I used to go to Saphan Lek market about 20 years ago in China town for the cheapest video games until it got knocked down. This looks like all those shops in the market have moved here. I don't know why I was recommended this video but I'm very happy I've seen it .......... and I'm comment 200 :O
I just looked at the link about where it is and it's actually called Mega Plaza Saphan Lek ..... lol
Yeah this place is very cool. I’m glad you could walk down memory lane for a bit. Thanks for watching.
Wow! Gotta get there 😊
You should!
Cool video 👍👍👍
Thanks for the visit
Thanks for showing me something I did not know existed here in Thailand./
My pleasure 😊
Wonderfully covered tour; hopefully would be able to visit there on 23/24th Nov
Have a great trip
had to visit the place twice, as shutters were already coming down by the time i reached there the first day. second day was lucky, managed to get hold of a 1/24 unboxed Welly Jaguar and miniatures of R2D2-C3PO and millenium falcon. Thanks once again for the detailed video @@LifewithSerg
those Submariner wall clocks look great, never seen one in UK before
They are way cool.
I was there last week, the camera section is huge, old cameras! You need to try the food court.
I’ve tried the food court once before, I was really not impressed to be honest with you. If you enjoyed this video, I think you will like my next one as well.
I spent a full day there once..on a mission to find some figurines from an obscure Japanese cartoon ..and yep I found them. If it's still there would love you to visit the toy museum in Ayutthaya.
Oooh toy museum?! Will lol into it.
Is it "Million Toy Museum" on maps?
This is my kind of heaven!
Such a cool place!
Aaargh, I didn't know this place existed and I was in BKK just in August. On the other hand, if I did know, it would have resulted in a serious dent in my budget lol. I am going to check this place out next time I am in Thailand, thanks for the tip.
I think you will absolutely enjoy it
I cannot wait! March 2024
Hope you enjoy!
hope you can also travel to Taipei Taiwan, because Taiwan is very famous in Asia and many Japanese and Koreans will travel to Taiwan.
Yes, I would love to go to Taiwan as well
Wow, I need to hit this in November , if only to browse
I’ve been there four times, and I’m still not tired of it.
Only collectibles I have left are a few godzillas I got in Japan in early 2000s. Sold the rest of my stuff when we moved to Philippines@@LifewithSerg
My friend I love your videos please could you go to a store that sell classic vintage or new Casio G-Shock I would love for you to go on a watch hunt for g shock
That’s a little bit too niche of a video for me to make. There are many G-Shock stores, but I haven’t run across one selling, just the vintage versions. I’m filming something today that you might enjoy.
I used to go to Saphan-Lek which is the the previous place before they moving here, to buy a vdo game. So much memories, your vdo reminds me how exciting I was that time seeing a lot of game and many characters ❤
That’s awesome. So happy to know you relived some good childhood memories.
Holy cow Phil rizzuto, hehe 😅😅😊
Lol what? Sorry missed the reference. 🤔
sounds great
I love this place
I would love a Super Famicom/Nintendo with the Zelda--game from that console.
Would be worth it just for that game for me. :P
You should def go!
@@LifewithSerg Already been there... And don't have room for random stuff 😭
Thank you for this video!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭
You are so welcome!
The Elvira suprised me, I think of her as an 80's Americana item. The ratfink threw me for a second but with the car culture there I can see a cross over.
Rat Fink is huge here! Especially at the hot rod shows. The Thais love it. I was very surprised first as well, but it does make sense.
I was just thinking how I used to love Airfix models, do they have them at this mall? I wonder if my teenage son would like them, I certainly would!
I didn’t see any, but I also didn’t go on to every single shop. If you haven’t been here, I would highly recommend it.
What a brilliant place, another one for our places to visit I had idea about, legend thank you for doing that.
It’s an amazing place. I’ve been there four times, and I’ll keep going back.
@@LifewithSerg You're just like a kid in a candy store ay 🤣
Ill be going to new york soon and we might go to Chinatown, my top 5 toy stuff are godzilla, spiderman, batman, anything disney, and star wara , i also like monster stuff and power rangers
Oh nice. Enjoy.
@@LifewithSerg thanks, what toys do you like to play with
wow grat vlog
Thanks!
Cool place. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Very much so!
I want that E.T. been to Chinatown manytimes , somehow i missed this place shame on me 😢
You absolutely have to go check this place out. Enjoy.
hehe there is stuff there I would like but at the same time I got too much stuff as it is XD
You have no idea how hard it is for me and I’ll just buy a bunch of stuff
hello serg!! which other malls or markets you recommend for vintage toys? i collect 1980s furby and plushes
Hmmm. bangsue junction has a good secondhand market that is both outside and inside the building. You should be able to find some things there. Otherwise kind of hit and miss.
you know that is my back yard.
Great mall!
I have mentioned this before but in many videos I see Nirvana shirts that would sell like crazy , they must be oversized or 2nds? reprints? knockoffs or something right?? it's been a lot of fun watching these thrift shop/collectable videos, if I were better at the bookkeeping end of it I would be there now, well maybe after March when it cools down just in case I end up in a Thai prison because I had 15 shirts on going through customs :) no, I would do it the right way which means someone else gets all the profit.
These are all reproductions. Once in a while, you’ll see some genuine ones, but these are all current print. There is an abundance of Nirvana shirts in Thailand. I think mainly because Nirvana is a state of being in Buddhism.
The past name is Sa Phan Lek (Metal Bridge) bro.
Yes, it’s still called Mega Plaza Saphan Lek on maps.
Adding this to my itinerary. I collect Bandai SHFiguarts Godzilla figures... if they have them I'm in trouble.
I’m pretty sure I saw some somewhere. There are so many shops there.
Oh, yes. As someone who lives here and visit that place often, they have them. They even have a SHFiguarts shop in the mall opposite of this mall.
10:42 Batman 1966 😮
Yep! So cool!
6:37 Woao! 😭 I love Tetsujin 28 but the 1980 version. I've been there once. I spotted a Tetsujin-28 Vs Black Ox box set, based on the 1980 TV show. The set was priced high. I could not afford it. Had to let it go. I'm a Shogun warriors generation so I love the Mazinger Z, Grendizer types (70's-80's era) of toys or collectables.
Yeah, the Shogun stuff from the late 70s was really cool. My favorite is of course the Godzilla.
Do the camera shops on the top floor accept Card as a mode of payment?
Yes they all take Visa and Mastercard.
Wow!! What did you buy at this interesting mall?
I show in ten video. 🤪
@@LifewithSerg😅😅😅
hey Serg! did they have vintage tin robots?
Absolutely not. The only place I’ve seen slightly vintage tin toys at the antique mall next to Chatuchak market
Hey Serg, did they have any nintendo game and watch?
This time I only saw the new ones. There is a shop that had some last time, but It was closed today.
I need those hamburglars
So cool!
My wallet took a beating shopping at Mega Plaza. I had to ship stuff back because I copped too much stuff lol
LMFAO. absolutely understand where you’re coming from!
I heard they have consignment toys also.
Quite possibly.
That girl was laughing at you for buying the Yoshi
And that’s perfectly alright. Lol. I put him together last night, and he’s quite atrocious.
Hi, Serg,
Any store would you suggest for buying good anime figures at cheaper cost??
You can have good, and you can have cheap. But it’s hard to find those two together. This is the only toy mall that I am aware of. I’m sure there are others.
@@LifewithSerg thank you
Though the place looks awesome but I am weary about how much they cost and whether you get a bargain.
I collect Japanese toy robots both vintage and new but honestly what they have there would be exactly what I could get from online stores. So I be skeptical if I buy anything there.
What is cool probably are kid toys that are not available elsewhere.
I think you’re making a lot of assumptions from my short video. It’s a very cool mall with many different stores. Can you find these things cheaper online? probably. However, it’s such an interesting place to go and just look.
@@LifewithSerg don’t get me wrong, is 100% in my bucket list to visit. I just don’t want to put to much expectation into it hoping to find the place as a bargain hunter for Collectables.
There’s definitely more to it than just some Collectables imo and that’s probably why I be looking at.
Not sure you mentioned there is a shopee express where people can send their items back than lugging it around
Did they sell second ps4 games with cheap prices?
Yes, there are lots of games being sold there.
Are there any Barbie and Ken please?
There is over 200 vendors, I’m sure you’ll find some. Keep in mind there’s only about a dozen or so stores that sell used vintage items. And most of those are going to be video game related. However, if you are in Bangkok, I highly recommend you go visit.
can i find shfiguarts, mafex and marvel legends here??
Didn’t look for those specifically. Pretty sure they had them here. Go take a look.
@@LifewithSerg alr thank you!
Wow. You bare a striking resemblance to Craigslisthunter? Are you his doppelganger?
Lol. I had to look that guy up.
do you recall seeing furbies from 1980s?
That’s a very good question. I want to say that I saw some, but I’ve been to so many markets that it’s hard to keep track. However, I would definitely go to this place, because I think you would probably find some.
What did you get?
Lol. I showed the video when I bought. Just a Yoshi build brick thing.
Serg, got pokemon cards?
No, I never got into Pokémon
Mega Plaza... lol
Yes
🙏🙏👍👍❤🇹🇭
😊👍
Please be careful walking around. There are recent news about certain shop owners bullying other shops and staffs. Can’t get into the details but less people are going to the mall recently 😢
I appreciate your concern, but I didn’t have any issues with any of the vendors at all.
I left you a message on your IG. Regarding a consultation. Looking for a Thai language teacher. Asap
Got it.
That place would make me go bankrupt.
Ha ha. Yeah it’s a money vacuum for sure.
@@LifewithSerg I'm Still adding it to my bucket list. LOL.
So disappointed. I see no Transformers 😢.
Not going there.
You don’t really expect me to show every single vendor, and every single item in my video, do you? They have them there.
@LifewithSerg Oh, they have? Yay!
I go there before
Did you find anything you liked?
