Maeklong Railway Market
Sightseeing
Directions

A unique marketplace situated directly on an active railway line. Trains pass through several times a day, giving vendors just seconds to retract their awnings and stalls before the train goes by. For the best experience, time your visit when a train is due to see the quick transformation in action. Online timetables can be unreliable, so either book an organised tour or ask your driver to check ahead to ensure your visit coincides with a train.

The market itself offers a range of fresh produce, local food, and souvenirs. Best combined with a day trip to either Amphawa Floating Market or Damnoen Saduak Floating Market (or both!).
