The second location of the Vintage Car Market (the original is at The Walk Kaset-Nawamin on Tue and Thu nights) is situated at Baan Silom community mall near Silom Soi 19.

In operation for about a month now, and held every Wednesday and Friday from around noon to midnight, the down-to-earth market sees a small number of old-fashioned cars park around Baan Silom's driveway and sell stuff from their car boots.

The products are mainly vintage or homemade, from necklaces and vintage-style earrings to shoes, dresses to denim.

You'll also find a range of authentic Thai food and desserts served from cute little stalls. Must-try dishes include rice with chili dip and condiments, crispy fried fishballs dip with sweet chilli sauce, Thai sausages (sai oua), and fried squid eggs (if you are brave enough to give it a go!).

There's also a food truck, Hip Hot Dog, that does hot dogs and burgers, a Thai-style soda stall and other rotating pop-up shops.

Not satisfied? Nearby restaurants include 661 Silom, new Turkish joint Ottoman, and Lebanese favorite Nadimos.

Heh heh, I still don't know the manufacturer, but I reckon I know what it does...

- "For guys that like to surf"

- The body tub looks like, well, a bathtub

- The door sill looks quite high

- Piddly little wheels for the size of the wheel arches

- Weird looking front suspension mounts, angle looks wrong for normal shocks?

- Looks to have a undercut front end

- Nice wipe-clean seats

- The clincher is the registration thing on the side of the vehicle - AZึ 6485T. Looks to me a bit like an Arizona boat registration.

I reckon it's amphibious. Bet it's wheels fold up when it's afloat.

The only amphibious car I can name is the (anyone?):

Amphicar 770 ... worth a bit of money if you have one in good condition.

^^ Amphibious VW Beetle?

roobarb, the only one i know is the shitty old amphicar like in your photo, but that yellow thing , no idea.

Yup, Amphicar 770. Well done Troy and Reddog.

I've just Googled 'Amphibious Jeep' and got this:



It's a Gator apparently, whatever that is.

BTW Reddog, bung up a pic of your SM if you have one, it'd be good to see.

OK, it's a bit obscure but it was in production for several years and is currently still available on a build-to-order basis (if you have a spare US$ 650k):

Page is German but the car comes "mit hohem Flirtfaktor"! Cool!

Aha, good find QC. Now we know.

Makes me remember that I also know the name of another amphibious vehicle, albeit without so much 'ho hum flirt factor':

Any takers?:

DUKW

Rick Thai's Motor?
