😍🚂Railway Market in BANGKOK🍎🥕

#visitbangkok If you happen to be visiting Bangkok, the Maeklonh Railway Market is an absolute-must to visit! It is so unique that almost every tourist goes there! As its name suggests, it is a thai market in Bangkok that operates on the railway. That means that during the day there would be a train coming in! The train comes around 3 times per day so if you want to catch the train coming in the market, make sure you catch the right time and do the research! When the train comes, all the vendors in the market will close their tent and move all their stuff and goods inside to give way to the train. What a thing to witness! 😍 It is also an excellent way to shop for souvenirs as the prices in the market are actually decent with some bargaining

[Thailand🇹🇭] A train passes over the tracks! Maeklong Railway Market

Maeklong Railway Market near Maeklong Railway Station 🚃 The highlight of this market is seeing the shops closing down when the train passes over the tracks!! ! Usually, goods are lined up on the tracks for sale, but when the train passes, the goods are removed from the tracks🤣 The train runs right next to the shops, so it was thrilling and fun! Once the train passes, the tents are spread out again, the goods are put back in, and the market reopens without incident👀 #BangkokTrip #OverseasTrip

A market on railway track

You may have seen a video on Facebook about a train getting through a local market in Thailand. It was a wonderful trip to Maeklong Railway Market, the market is called ‘life-risking’ market because its stalls are attached to the railway, vendors at the market put out parasols or canvas to protect themselves against the sun, the shelters stick into the railway where visitors walk and do their shopping(there are selling food, fruits, meats, vegetables & souvenirs, crowded usually when tourism opens), when each signal of the arriving train rings, chaos happens....vendors will rush to close their parasols and canvas, along with clearing all goods that will obstruct the coming train at a great speed, once the train passes, parasols and canvas will be reopened as goods are again put into their usual place next to the rail track. #staycation #summervacation

From the beautiful railway market that always has to open the train, I went to the Amphawa Floating Market, which is only available on weekends. I experienced the two major food markets around Bangkok and admire the speed of the small vendors on the railway side. And the shelf side is also worried about the tourists stepping on their goods. The highlights of the Amphawa Floating Market are not only fireflies, seafood and other food and beverage outlets are very good, the prices of these two markets are not expensive, 10 pigs of coconut, 20 pig noodle soup, is definitely a conscience price ~

Catch a train at the market

Had a wonderful experience sipping thai green tea while witnessing train arrival and departure at the Maeklong railway market!

[Thailand] Maeklong Market

#0yentravelautumn Maeklong Market 📍Mueang Samut Songkhram District, Samut Songkhram 75000 Thailand 🕐8:00-19:00 Maeklong Market is a unique market in Samut Songkhram Province, Thailand, also known as the "Train Market". This market is spread over the railway tracks, and every time a train passes, the vendors all pull down their products at once, and when the train passes, they put them back up and resume business, creating a very unique sight. Maeklong Market is famous for its wide selection of local ingredients, including fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood, meat, and spices. It is also popular with tourists, and many people visit when the train passes by. One of the fun things to do when visiting is to check the train times in advance and capture the moment on camera. #Thailand #ThailandTrip

adorable view from Maeklong train

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

📍Rom Hup Market

In Bangkok, we went to the railway market in addition to the floating market. It was perfect because we only stayed between the time the train arrived and the time it departed 🙆🏻♀️ The tour cost only 5,300 yen 💮 We were surprised at how cheap it was for a tour that departed in the morning and returned in the evening, almost a full day tour. There were quite a few companies in the same price range. We chose this tour because it was convenient to depart from Siam Paragon, but on the way back we ended up at ICONSIAM, so be careful about that 😂 . . 📍Rom Hup Market 🗺️Samut Songkhram, Thailand 🕑8:00-19:00 💰 - #AsiaTravelLine #ThailandTrip #SoutheastAsian

Make loan market

Near Mae Klong Station in Samut Songkhram Province, there is a railway market packed with vegetable and fruit shops along the side of the active railway tracks. Also known as Talat Lom Hub, or Umbrella Folding Market (ตลาดร่มหุบ). As the name suggests, vendors along the side of the tracks fold up their tents and umbrellas to avoid the trains when trains travel between Mae Klong and Bang Laem (8 times a day), and then unfold their tents and umbrellas again when the trains pass by and resume business! 📍Location: Mae Klong 💰Price per person Bangkok to Mae Klong: Bus 100B/Taxi 1000B 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Tourist spot 🕰️Opening hours: ■Bang Laem Station → Mae Klong Station (4 round trips per day) 07:30/10:10/13:50/16:40 ■Mae Klong Station → Bang Laem Station (4 round trips per day) 06:20/09:00/11:30/15:30 #100's travel style #Thailand trip #Bangkok #trip

[Bangkok] A market on the railway tracks!? Maeklong Market

A train passes 10 centimeters in front of you!? A market that seems unbelievable but is unique to Bangkok Maeklong Market ตลาดร่มหุบ Stalls are lined up right next to the tracks, and when the train passes, they fold up their tents and tourists move to the very edge of the train. When the train passes by, there are many people sticking their hands out of the windows, and they high-five, wave, and take pictures as they pass each other. You can also interact with locals and other tourists, which is heartwarming♡ ★Access About 2 hours by car from Bangkok I recommend using Grab or chartering. It's also a good idea to go on a tour that includes the nearby floating market! There seems to be a way to get there by train, but I think it's for advanced people... ①Take the train from Wongwian Yai Station to Mahachai Station. Cross the river by boat and transfer to the Maeklong line. ② Take the [BKK-Amphawa-Damnoen Saduak] bus from the Southern Bus Terminal and get off at Maeklong, then walk for a short distance. ★Prices You can get cheap and cute Thai goods at the same price as a night market in Thailand♪ Reference Thai pants 100 baht Scarf 100 baht Coconut husk plate 100 baht You can also get a better deal by buying in bulk! ★Notes There are only 8 trains a day! We recommend going to the market according to the train times! Maeklong Departure Maeklong Arrival 6:20 　　　8:30 9:00 　　　11:10 11:30 　　　14:30 15:30 　　　17:30 ※As of October 2024. Check the latest information before going. ★Tricks, maybe? If you buy souvenirs in bulk just before the train arrives, the store may let you stand in a prime spot where you can see the train! I was allowed to stand on a slightly elevated platform in the store, like a stepladder. It depends on the store, so try it with 30% of your expectations 😂 ★You can also enjoy it like this The train that arrives at Maeklong Market stops at the station for a while You can get on and off the train freely at that time, so you can enjoy watching the train! *There are also general customers on board, so please try to watch quietly in a small group for a short time Click here for location information for Maeklong Market https://maps.app.goo.gl/DBHzjj6Z3qR24zgi7?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy #BangkokTrip2024 #100TravelStyles #0YenTripAutumn

Kangsadan

Don't miss “Kangsadan,” a super chill café nestled in a coconut grove in Samut Songkhram. This place is a paradise for croissant and burger lovers!

รีวิว ตลาดร่มหุบ 🚂 (Maeklong Railway Market)

One of the must-see tourist attractions in Thailand, it has a unique characteristic because it is located on the railway. This market is located in Samut Songkhram Province, about 70 kilometers from Bangkok. Characteristics of the Umbrella Market: Umbrella Market is located on the Maeklong Railway Line, where trains pass through the middle of the market several times a day. Vendors must quickly pack up their goods and fold their umbrellas when the train arrives. Once the train has passed, they will unfold their umbrellas and rearrange their shops. Umbrella Market has a variety of products, from fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood, meat, to everyday items. The experience of seeing the lifestyle and skill of the vendors who work quickly to pack up their goods when the train passes is an impressive and unique experience. Trains usually pass through the market about 4 times a day, and the exact times may change. It is recommended to check the schedule before traveling to get the best experience. Rough times Inbound trains (from Ban Laem Station to Maeklong Station): • Around 08:30 • Around 11:10 • Around 14:30 • Around 17:40 Outbound trains (From Maeklong Station to Ban Laem Station): • Around 06:20 • Around 09:00 • Around 11:30 • Around 15:30 Have fun traveling and shopping. #Market and walking street #Samut Songkhram #Maeklong has only delicious things #Umbrella Market

Maeklong Market, where trains pass right next to the market

This is a market where the State Railway of Thailand train passes right next to it. This is another tourist spot that you can't miss when visiting Thailand. You can get there by train or bus. The train times are fixed, so it's best to check before you go. If you go late, you won't be able to see anything. If you go late in the evening, the shops close early, so there's nothing to do. It's very hot, so you need to wear a hat to avoid heatstroke. Don't forget to stay hydrated. If you go in the morning, you can see the sights in about half a day, so I highly recommend visiting it. #Thailand #Trip to Thailand #Maeklong Market #Tourism in Thailand

The market Dancing with trains 🇹🇭

#thailandtrip When coming to Bangkok, Thailand, be sure to visit the Meigong Railway Market, which has a history of over 100 years! It is also one of the biggest characteristics of Thailand, and not coming will be regrettable. The Meigong A Railway Market sells everything, including fruits and vegetables, snacks, bags, hats and clothes, seafood, small gifts... The prices are much cheaper than those in the water market, and can be negotiated. Whenever a train passes by, the shop owner will retract the sunshade above and wait for the train to pass before opening The train is traveling very, very slowly, so it is very safe, enough for you to check in and take photos. @Business hours: all day
