Shop in Maeklong Railway Market
A unique experience of watching the market squeezing and folding down the stalls as train passing by, then prompt reset and business as usual.
Everywhere around is a colorful display of fruits, vegetables, and seafood and there’s a warning bell every few hours before everyone shouts Talat Rom Hoop or “Market Umbrella Close!”. The loud horn, the big train and vendors’ action and tourists behaviors make the chaos a part of this exciting journey!
