Bangkok Maeklong Railway Market | A "dangerous" wet market with a train passing through it! .

| A "dangerous" wet market with a train passing through it! . 🔥The Maeklong Railway Market, which was popularized by the movie "Embarrassed in Thailand", has now been successfully won by the Chinese. Watching this train coming from a distance, surrounded by people, at a high speed, the whistle sounds from time to time. , making it look a little cute! The market stalls are placed along the railway track, and there are many cheap fruits and vegetables. The train comes regularly every day, and the vendors will close their stalls in advance according to the whistle to let the train pass. This interesting landscape can only be seen in Thailand. ! I think what is hidden under this spectacle is the Thai people’s persistence in tradition and their ingenuity in not following the routine... 🔸Address: Mueang Samut Songkhram District, Samut Songkhram 🔹Admission: Free, no tickets 🔸Train: Generally, everyone will wait for this train that arrives at the market around 14:30 every day, which is relatively punctual. 🔹Transportation: It is first recommended to charter a car (you can play with Amphawa Floating Market); or take a bus from Bangkok city to Maeklong for about 1.5 hours to 2 hours; it is also possible to follow the train directly, which takes about 2 hours (Choose Mae Klong Station) 📝The Maeklong Railway Market is known as the most dangerous wet market in Thailand. It has gradually become well-known to Chinese people because it often appears in movies and TV shows (such as the popular "Traveling in Thailand"). The place is actually not big, it is mainly a "street" connected by a railway and small stalls on both sides, and the train station on the other side. The wet markets are these small stalls on both sides of the railway. They are about four to five hundred meters away along the railway. They mainly sell grains, oils, vegetables, fruits, and seafood and cooked food. The items are relatively cheap. ㊙️【Tips for shopping and eating】 1⃣️The fruits such as mangosteens and dried mangoes and other specialties here are relatively more cost-effective 2⃣️The weather nearby is very hot and sunny, so it is recommended to take sun protection measures (the awnings of the vendors are of course good shade places) 3⃣️You can bargain in a friendly manner when buying things 📸Of course, the best thing about the railway market is that six or seven trains pass by here every day. The vendors will quickly move their stalls back to prevent being run over by the train, and the customers buying food will disappear in an instant - that The scene is really amazing! The whistle sounded in the distance, and the tourists in front started to cheer. In order to make way for the train, the vendors pulled up their awnings. The train moved very slowly to prevent hitting people! In this way, the train moved forward slowly amid crowds of people, with one or two whistles coming from time to time. People below were taking pictures of the train, and tourists on the train were also using their mobile phones and action cameras to record the scene in front of them. Create a spectacle! ❗Tip: Vendors are friendly and will proactively remind passengers which places are not safe, and will ask passengers to avoid the train near their stalls. If you are on the scene, be sure to listen to their well-intentioned reminders. As soon as the train left, the vendors skillfully set up their stalls and continued business as usual, as if nothing really happened, haha! 🔝【Photo Easter Egg】 Later, the train will stop at Maekong Station for a period of time. You can take photos during this time! That’s right, you can even go into the train carriage and have a look~ Maeklong Railway Market
