The famous Maeklong Railway Market
Have you ever dreamed of shopping on the tracks of a train, and sheltering in a hurry while it is on the way?
Well, it is a daily reality in the Maeklong Railway Market, a small town now known near Bangkok.
It's a small market, but you really have everything and the prices are lower than in Bangkok markets. Therefore, it might be a good idea to get your favorite souvenirs and spices and snacks from here.
Perhaps it has become too touristy, very busy and not very authentic compared to others, but still a must-see during your trip to Thailand's tropical capital.

Famous Maeklong Railway Market
A trip to Maeklong is definitely not complete without visiting the railway market. Spreading over a 100-metre length of shops, stalls selling fresh seafood, vegetables, spices, dried products, meats and other items, this place is something a tourists should at least visit once! Walking literally on the railway of an active train that comes during specific timings thruout the entire day!
Many people come here closer to the specific timings to catch the stalls frantically closing and opening when the train comes. Standby your videos and photos as you will be aware when the stall starts closing their shops and winding in their shelters. Stand behind the red line on the floor to let the train pass. It's indeed a unique experience!

Quiet Town Of Maeklong
Most tourists head to Maeklong to catch the famous railway market with the active tracks and stalls open and closing whenever the train comes by.
Spend some time to walk towards the town and away or parallel to the tracks to see the different eateries with shops selling commodities, local sweets and biscuits, family run eateries and businesses. Generally the main area at mae Klong railway market sells fresh produces like fish, chicken and vegetables. But for us tourists we would want something that we can bring home as souvenirs or ready made snacks that we can bite on.
So head to the little town of mae Klong for something different and out of the norm. Also, for people who drives, there is a huge parking area located just 3mins walk away from the mae Klong rail market and only cost 30baht to park. Really reasonable!

Maeklong Railway Market
Whilst this is not the most convenient place to visit, it is a must do once in a lifetime. Can be done in a day tour together with floating market. The train brushes again you while u stand at the sidewalk of the stalls but not to worry, it’s slow moving. Pro-tip to take nice photos and after train passes you jump onto the track and to have a photo with the train without risking your life. #wheretogo #bkk #mustsee #maeklong
Maeklong Railway Market - yes the real train market
#wecreate #maeklong #thailand #railwaymarket
Watching how the train passing thru hundreds of curious tourist and seller pulling down their canopies and once train passing thru, the vendors started pulling down the canopies really a sight to see. There is even a small smoothies cafe in the middle of the market and this is where we stop and have the best view of the entire train passing thru
My Video Addition Of Maeklong Train Market
When one go to Bangkok, 2 of the most popular tourists attraction is located about 90mins - 2 hours to these 2 locations since they are just nearby!
The Maeklong Train Market is a must go Market as it is one place that you will never experience elsewhere! This is a functional railway Train with timing scheduled roughly 3 - 4 times daily! Eventhough this is a functioning rail, you will still see vendor sell their products along the track which makes this one interesting Market isn't it?
My recommendation is to reach before the train schedule timing, locate a good spot(normally at the start of the train market), wait for the train to come and see the vendors packing up with ease and after opening the shop back up again when the train goes pass. Its a sight not to be missed. Kudos to these street vendors!
