Engines in Chinatown, Bangkok

Sampeng Lane in Chinatown, Bangkok is a famous market. It is a very narrow bustling place full of shops selling jewellery, fabrics, toys, shoes and just about anyting else you can think of. In the streets around the other (eastern) end of Sampeng it is quite different. The streets are full of bits of car parts from complete engines to axles, gearboxes and suspension springs. The whole place is a dirty oily mess and, as you can see, the parts are piled up to the extent that you cannot walk on the footpath.
