Electronic and electrical parts

Ban Mor (Ban Mo) for electrical and electronic parts, services and equipment

Ban Mor (บ้านหม้อ) is an area of Bangkok with hundreds of shops selling electronic and electrical parts and equipment. There are also numerous shops providing repair and electronic assembly services, and several shops selling replacement parts for home appliances (Whirlpool, Mitsubishi, Sanyo, etc.) at discount prices. Ban Mor is also spelled Ban Mo (official Thai transliteration) and Baan Mor; however, it is always pronounced bâan môr.

Entrance of Soi Thip Wari (Ban Mor) viewed from Tri Phet Road. Taking photos further into the soi is inadvisable due to the widespread sale of counterfeit and pornographic DVD/CD publications.

Most shops in Ban Mor are located along Soi Thip Wari (ซ.ทิพย์วารี). This spelling is confusing as the correct pronunciation is soi tip waree. A smaller cluster of shops are located along Ban Mor Road (ถ.บ้านหม้อ) close to Ban Mor Intersection (แยกบ้านหม้อ). Many of the repair shops are makeshift stands located along the roadside. At least one of these stands has several workers rebuilding and rewinding electric fan motors. Many retail outlets are located in standalone shops or inside small shopping plazas, and most specialize in groups of components (e.g. semiconductors, batteries, etc.).
