#visitbangkok If you happen to be visiting Bangkok, the Maeklonh Railway Market is an absolute-must to visit! It is so unique that almost every tourist goes there! As its name suggests, it is a thai market in Bangkok that operates on the railway. That means that during the day there would be a train coming in! The train comes around 3 times per day so if you want to catch the train coming in the market, make sure you catch the right time and do the research! When the train comes, all the vendors in the market will close their tent and move all their stuff and goods inside to give way to the train. What a thing to witness! 😍 It is also an excellent way to shop for souvenirs as the prices in the market are actually decent with some bargaining

#thailandtrip At first glance, Maeklong Railway Market looks like any lively Thai street market—stalls overflowing with colorful produce 🥭🥦, fragrant spices 🌶️, and sizzling street food. But don’t be fooled—this market holds a jaw-dropping surprise. What makes Maeklong truly unique? It’s built right on active train tracks. As you weave through the narrow aisles, taking in the sights, smells, and energy of the place, a sudden loudspeaker crackles to life. In seconds, everything changes. Vendors spring into action—awnings are pulled back, baskets scooped up, and stalls adjusted with the precision of a well-rehearsed dance. Then comes the train. A low rumble builds until, unbelievably, it glides through the heart of the market, just inches from where you were standing. It’s surreal. It’s electric. It’s the kind of moment you’ll never forget. And just like that, it’s over. In a blink, stalls are back up, goods are on display, and the market buzzes back to life—as if nothing ever happened. It’s a daily routine perfected by years of tradition. Suggested Day Trip Itinerary: 🚌 Bangkok → (2-hour bus) 🚤 Damnoen Saduak Floating Market (30–40 mins) 🍜 Lunch break 🚂 Maeklong Railway Market experience 🚌 Return to Bangkok (2-hour bus) Highly recommended: Book a guided day tour for a stress-free experience! Pro Tip: Stay alert and have your camera ready—this is not your average market stroll! 📸🔥 Maeklong Railway Market 📍CX4X+XCC, Mae Klong, Mueang Samut Songkhram District, Samut Songkhram 75000, Thailand #globalcookiecrumbs_thailand #MaeklongRailwayMarket #ThailandTravel #UniqueMarkets #TrainMarket #SamutSongkhram #TravelThailand #AmazingThailand #MarketLife #ThaiCulture #StreetFood #TravelAdventures #MustVisit #HiddenGems #AsiaTravel #Wanderlust #ExploreThailand #LocalExperience #RailwayMarket #BucketListTravel #CulturalImmersion #ThaiMarket #ExoticDestinations #TravelGram #InstaTravel #SoutheastAsia #TrainJourney #AuthenticThailand #UnforgettableMoments

went to Bangkok with family and bringing the kids to a floating market for the 1st time as well as the actual train market. we also went to Bubbles by the forest for brunch one of the days. for the floating market please do be aware of the charges for the boat ride. we were dupe in some sense paying 6000 baht for 4 person for a motorboat ride. we didn't see the banner stating 2000baht and hour hidden away at the other corner of the boat station. the ride was so so as the place is now so commercialise so it's was just the experience. the train market not too far away from the floating market was better. (do go to the train market 1st for those who who wants to then go to the floating market) as there is a timing 1130am that there will be 2 trains meeting on the track.

first visit after so many time visit Thailand.

We avail the tour here at trip.com the Floating Market and Maeklong Railway. It was so affordable, I purchased again the tour. ☺️

#favouriteitinerary The Bangkok railway market, also known as the Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub), is one of the most unique markets in Thailand. Located about 80 km southwest of Bangkok, it’s famous for being set along an active railway track. What makes this market so extraordinary is the daily spectacle: when the train approaches, vendors quickly pull back their awnings and move their goods — often just inches from the train’s wheels. As soon as the train passes, they seamlessly slide everything back into place and business resumes like nothing happened.

The Maeklong Railway Market is a fascinating blend of chaos and charm. Known as the “umbrella pull-down market,” it’s famous for its unique location right on active train tracks. Vendors line the rails with fresh produce, seafood, and local goods, quickly retracting their stalls as the train approaches—only to set them back up moments after it passes. This incredible display of coordination and local tradition is a must-see for anyone visiting Thailand, offering a glimpse into the vibrant spirit of Thai market culture. #onthemove #travel #thailand #train

Had a wonderful experience sipping thai green tea while witnessing train arrival and departure at the Maeklong railway market!

Relaxing

adorable view from Maeklong train

This place is basically a market and a train station. The interesting part to me was how close some of the shops were to the railway! And I don't mean 10 metres (32.8 foot), or even 5 metres (16.4 foot)! Think alot closer! So everytime when a train passes, the train sounds the horn, and all the vendors pick up their wares in a matter of seconds. Once the train passes, within seconds everything is back in its place. Over here you can try out some of their local delicacies, and purchase some souvenirs. While roaming around, you will find some local snacks, deserts that you may not have seen before and I would encourage you to try, like the bamboo sticky rice! So if you have the time, and don't mind travelling out of the city area (90 km away from Bangkok) , you can consider checking out this place.

#fallishere This is a place that you only see on TV. It is mind-blowing that there is a market right on the railroad tracks. I was very impressed by how quickly they clear the tracks for the train but even more impressed on how quickly they set us seconds after it passes by. There are only 4 trains per day scheduled to arrive and depart from Maeklong station, but it’s best to get there early in the morning, as some trains might be cancelled. Also, the market is more full at that time.

#bangkoktrip Interesting and unique experience. A market located on the train tracks. Very funny when the train arrives, the dance of the sellers and customers clearing the track. The problem is the thousands of tourists that flood the market. There is almost no space to walk. An advice: go on an organized tour. The market is far and difficult to reach. So it becomes much simple. We went with your group, we arrive timely. The train reach around 8:30am in the last station, which is Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub). We spent about an hour there and the train depart 9am. So we able to take pictures twice - arriving and departing. We have our nice coconut drink and snack there.
