MAEKLONG RAILWAY MARKET | Stay in Thailand

The Maeklong Railway Market 📍 Samut Songkhram, Thailand 🇹🇭 Video: @bangkokguidesmile Maeklong Railway Market is traditional, although unusual, Thai market selling fresh vegetables, food and fruit in the province of Samut Songkhram, southwest of Bangkok. What makes the market special is that it occupies part of a train line. A few times a day, a train runs directly through the market, with vendors moving goods & retracting awnings as trains run. | TasteAtlas

MAEKLONG RAILWAY MARKET - A timeworn train passes through the 100-metre-long market eight times a day, almost bumping stalls along the way. Sellers swiftly rearrange their shops and remove shade structures on both sides of the track to make way for the oncoming locomotive. No wonder locals refer to the traditional market as Siang Tai (life-risking). It’s chaotic and surreal, but so is the mission to Mae Klong. | Stay in Thailand
