• Maeklong Railway Market

The Maeklong Railway Market, Talad Rom Hub, 7 km south of Amphawa Floating Market, is one of Thailand’s most extraordinary and memorable attractions in which a fresh produce market is built on and alongside an active railway line. Eight times daily, a train passes through the middle of the market and each time vendors fold back their sun sheds, pull their produce away from the tracks, and stand aside as the train passes with centimeters to spare. Within seconds of the train’s passage, everything is reorganized and business resumes without interruption. The market itself is an excellent fresh produce market with good street food available from surrounding stalls.
