Maeklong Railway Market is one of the wildest markets in Thailand—it’s literally set on top of an active train track, and multiple times a day, vendors have to pull back their awnings and move their goods to let the train pass right through the middle! 🚂🥭

Why It’s So Cool:

🚊 Trains pass through the market – Vendors casually move their stalls seconds before the train arrives, then put everything back like nothing happened. It’s insane to watch!
🥭 Fresh produce & street food – Think tropical fruits, dried seafood, grilled skewers, and all kinds of Thai snacks.
📸 Epic photo ops – The sight of a train squeezing through a market is something you need to capture.

Train Schedule (subject to change, so check ahead!):

🚂 Train Arrives: Usually around 8:30 AM, 11:10 AM, 2:30 PM, and 5:40 PM.
🚂 Train Departs: A few minutes after arrival.

Things to Know:

📍 Location: Samut Songkhram (about 1.5 hours from Bangkok).
⏰ Market Hours: 6 AM - 5 PM, but best time to go is before the morning train (around 8 AM).
🚗 How to get there? Drive, Grab, or take a van from Mo Chit (public transport options are a bit tricky).
💸 Cheap prices – It’s a local market, so you won’t get tourist markups.

If you want to see one of the most unique markets in the world, Maeklong Railway Market is a must. Just don’t stand too close to the tracks! 🚂🔥
