Mae Klong railway market (Hoop Rom Market) is a local market in Samut Songkhram Province, commonly called Siang Tai (life-risking) Market. When each signal of the arriving train rings, chaos happens: vendors will rush to close their parasols and canvas, along with clearing all goods that will obstruct the coming train at a great speed. Once the train passes, parasols and canvas will be reopened as goods are again put into their usual place next to the railroad. The market, accordingly, is so called Hoop Rom (umbrella/parasol-closing) Market. The practice is usual for vendors and local people, but not for tourists who will definitely find the scene exciting and enjoyable at each visit. The parasol-closing event happens eight times per day according to the time that trains leave Mahachai for Mae Klong and depart Mae Klong for Mahachai. Trains will arrive at Mae Klong Station at 8.30 a.m., 11.10 a.m., 2.30 p.m. and 5.40 p.m., and depart the station at 6.20 a.m., 9.00 a.m., 11.30 a.m. and 3.30 p.m.#maeklongrailwaymarket #localguides #thailand

The Maeklong Railway Market, often called the “Mekong Train Market,” is one of Thailand’s most unique and thrilling attractions. Located about 70 kilometers southwest of Bangkok, this market isn’t just a place to shop—it’s an experience that showcases the perfect harmony between local life and a working railway. At first glance, the market appears like any other vibrant Thai marketplace, with vendors selling fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood, and local snacks. Stalls are packed tightly together, with goods spilling onto the railway tracks. But what sets it apart is the moment the train arrives. Several times a day, the train barrels through the middle of the market, and in an instant, vendors spring into action. They pull back their awnings and move their goods just inches away from the train’s path. Once the train passes, everything is put back in place, and the market resumes as if nothing happened. Fun fact: The market is nicknamed “Talad Rom Hup” in Thai, which translates to “Umbrella Pull-Down Market,” referring to the quick folding of awnings when the train approaches. The train passes through eight times daily, making this a routine spectacle for both locals and visitors. Visiting the Maeklong Railway Market is a feast for the senses. The vibrant produce, sizzling street food, and the heart-pounding excitement of the train’s arrival make it a must-see destination. Don’t forget to try the local delicacies, like freshly grilled seafood or coconut pancakes, while you’re there. Whether you’re a foodie, a photographer, or simply an adventurer, the Mekong Train Market offers an unforgettable glimpse into Thailand’s resourceful and lively culture. It’s a place where life and locomotives coexist in perfect rhythm. #thailandtrip

It’s our first time visiting a floating marketing and we decided on Meaklong amongst other options for floating markets. It cost about 1000 bhat per pax for the 1 hour ride down the river and floating homes. As we visited on a weekday, many shops were closed but the ride was peaceful and slow. Overall it’s a different experience from the busy downtown. Note that the journey from Bangkok city to Meaklong is about +1 hour, provided there isn’t a jam. #wecreate
