😍🚂Railway Market in BANGKOK🍎🥕

#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

maklong railway station 2 hours from bangkok

took a shared coach transport package with klook (sgd$90+ after $10 discount for 2 pax) and departed from siam paragon/bts around 11am. upon arrival around 1pm we had lunch at an aircon eatery recommended by our tour guide, end of the market. staff were friendly, food was ok though not cheap. queue inside for toilet was long thus we proceeded to the market. tried this special 80baht red seeded fruit (cousin of soursop) which has a unique taste. after train arrived around 3+, we walked till the end of the station where the the train was parked till 4plus. we could board the train for photos and witnessed staff cleaning the train and washing the train toilets. went to the jetty and saw motorbikes boarding this ferry beside the temple. there was also this tranquil cafe beside the river. #bucketlistreboot

A market on railway track

You may have seen a video on Facebook about a train getting through a local market in Thailand. It was a wonderful trip to Maeklong Railway Market, the market is called ‘life-risking’ market because its stalls are attached to the railway, vendors at the market put out parasols or canvas to protect themselves against the sun, the shelters stick into the railway where visitors walk and do their shopping(there are selling food, fruits, meats, vegetables & souvenirs, crowded usually when tourism opens), 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 rail track. #staycation #summervacation

From the beautiful railway market that always has to open the train, I went to the Amphawa Floating Market, which is only available on weekends. I experienced the two major food markets around Bangkok and admire the speed of the small vendors on the railway side. And the shelf side is also worried about the tourists stepping on their goods. The highlights of the Amphawa Floating Market are not only fireflies, seafood and other food and beverage outlets are very good, the prices of these two markets are not expensive, 10 pigs of coconut, 20 pig noodle soup, is definitely a conscience price ~

Maeklong Railway Market

Maeklong Market, Mueang Samut Songkhram District, Samut Songkhram 75000, Thailand Since it's a popular railway market, I decided to explore the surrounding side streets instead.

Kangsadan

Don't miss “Kangsadan,” a super chill café nestled in a coconut grove in Samut Songkhram. This place is a paradise for croissant and burger lovers! You must try the “Coconut Croissant,” a delightful blend of Thai flavors with fresh, sweet, and tender coconut filling, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Or go for the “Beef Burger,” a juicy beef patty served with warm homemade burger buns. Every bite is packed with ultimate deliciousness that true foodies shouldn't miss!

City Pillar Shrine of Samut Songkhram

The City Pillar Shrine of Samut Songkhram is a revered sacred site for the locals. It is located in the heart of the city, near the Mae Klong Market. This shrine was built to protect and strengthen the city's stability. Inside the shrine, there is a beautifully decorated city pillar with intricate carvings. Besides being a place where people come to worship and pray, the City Pillar Shrine is also a spot where visitors can deeply experience the culture and beliefs of the people of Samut Songkhram.

The market Dancing with trains 🇹🇭

#thailandtrip When coming to Bangkok, Thailand, be sure to visit the Meigong Railway Market, which has a history of over 100 years! It is also one of the biggest characteristics of Thailand, and not coming will be regrettable. The Meigong A Railway Market sells everything, including fruits and vegetables, snacks, bags, hats and clothes, seafood, small gifts... The prices are much cheaper than those in the water market, and can be negotiated. Whenever a train passes by, the shop owner will retract the sunshade above and wait for the train to pass before opening The train is traveling very, very slowly, so it is very safe, enough for you to check in and take photos. @Business hours: all day

The Buffalo cafe, a nice ambine cafe

The Buffalo Amphawa is comprised of three main businesses, including the Buffalo Hotel , the Buffalo Café, and Rusty Rose Restaurant. we are passing by when on the way back to Bangkok city. have a stop to have nice coffee and break.

Maeklong Train Market

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.

The egret has arrived.

🐦🦅The egret has arrivedddd ‼️☁️🌥 🎄🎄Hurry up and come feed the little birds. The weather is nice right now, don't miss out. From November to March, I assure you, you won't be disappointed. It's fun to take pictures. There's food to feed the birds, which is pork cracklings. You can hold it out to them or throw it to them. 🐦🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🐦 On holidays, come visit Samut Songkhram. Stop by to eat something at the Amphawa floating market before coming to see the birds in the afternoon. 🕊️🕊️

#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.

Unique Experience @ Maeklong Railway Market

#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.

Unforgettable Night of Mookata By The River!

If you want to experience Thai food culture, this is the place to go. It’s a sort of buffet (not expensive kinda like dinner or lunch at home if you cook it yourself), where you can make what you want. A lot of food is already made as well (tasty chicken wings and tights). The cost (300 baht per person, time doesn’t limit) is worth doing as it surely isn’t time-related and they are taking good care of their customers, especially when you look like an inexperienced guy/ woman. Seafood, beef, other meat slices, fruits, ice-cream, vegetables – they are all there in different varieties, all freshly prepared! It is located near a river so it is easy to get but might be a problem after MRT as I have to walk quite some distance (~30 mins) or take a bus (10 bhat also nearby). If you happen to travel by one the boat lines on Chao Praya river you are lucky cause there is a pier stop nearby. Boat lines don’t work at night though.#bangkok #mookata #foodie #thailand #wecreate

Railway Market Train

The railway market is one of the popular attractions in Bangkok. It is best to book a half day tour that brings you to both the floating market and railway market. The railway market is a 2 hour car ride from Bangkok city. The address is at Mueang Samut Songkhram District, Samut Songkhram 75000, Thailand. The railway market opens early in the morning at 6am. It is recommended to visit the railway market at 930am in the morning. Because the railway train will reach the market at around 950am. Each day the train will travel to the market twice. Once in the morning and once in the evening. The market sells vegetables live fresh seafood and poultry. The unique point of the market is the railway track with the railway train travelling inside the market. Be sure to take some picture when you visit there. #bucketlistreboot

🇹🇭 Maeklong Station market

After the Floating market Damnoen Saduak, I got my private driver to go to Maeklong Station market. This is the infamous market whereby the vendors have to keep their stores to let the train pass through. Yuu will be thrilled if you are here for the first time. As always, be careful and be alert of your surroundings and watch out for traffic. My driver is the nicest person and he even suggested that I take the train for 1 station and he will wait at the next station to pick me up. If you have time then you can hire a driver or join a day tour to visit this unique market for your memories. #bucketlistreboot #thailand #bangkok #liveyourdreams #takethattrip #overseastripmoments #urbanexplorer

Zuppp Thailan🇹🇭 #MaeklongRailwayMarket

The Thai Meigong Railway Market is located in Samut Songkhram Province and is known as the most dangerous vegetable market in the world. Vendors set up stalls on both sides of the railway. When the train came, the booths were collected again. The movements were quick and people were swaying. The body of the visitor is almost always attached to the train. In the market, I saw the Shakespeare Network Red Ice Ice Sister, but the stall business was very deserted. Most of the people who sway in this market are Chinese, except for the locals. Every vendor is almost Chinese. The train is 8 baht a day, and you can take pictures on the train when you stop at the station.

Take a boat trip to Samut Songkhram. It takes about one and a half hours to travel. There are many piers and scenery along the road. While enjoying the scenery, you can enjoy Thai foot massage. The total ticket and tip are about 100 yuan.

Baanr imk homestay is a creative community in Thailand with many hands-on projects and accommodation. We made coconut sugar inside and learned to weave. Although the handicrafts made of plant leaves are green, the Thais do not know the meaning of the Chinese "green hat". Instead, they are very happy to wear. This place is actually also run by Chinese descendants.

Bangkok can see the characteristic market that the train has passed go to the Meigong Railway Market, I suggest it is more convenient to choose to carpool. It is usually a 6-8 seat air-conditioned van, which is very comfortable. When you buy it, please check if your hotel is within the pick-up range. A total of 1 hour drive to the Meigong Railway Market. Actually, after more than an hour's drive, the real experience is not the market itself, but the train that has been opened for a few minutes. When the train hasn't come yet, let's go inside the market. The narrow aisle is a little bit unbearable for people who come and go, especially when they first enter. If you accidentally step on the control area of other people's shops, you will be reminded of it. The main selling in the market is mainly to eat, although it is still cheap, but it is really not tempting to buy. When the train is about to reach the market, you will hear the train start to whistle to remind the people on the stall to start collecting! I have experienced this process all the year round, and people in the market can be quite quick to pack up! Three times and five divided by two, a few seconds in the middle of the narrow train road vacated a large area. If you are standing on both sides, you must stand a little inside, otherwise you will still be picked up by the train. When the train passed by, I really felt this close distance, and when I stepped forward, I bumped into the carriage. Stimulating and fun, there are people who bought a ticket on the train. As the train passed, the stalls in the market quickly began to prop up the tent and began a new round of busyness.

Meigong Railway Market (traffic strategy for the bus in the city) and photo guide Because the CMB distribution center near Victory Mocument has been demolished, it is now necessary to go to the South Railway Station or the East Bus Station. By car. The East Bus Station is relatively convenient for transportation. BTS Ekkamai Station Exit 2 is a 1-minute walk away. The van/bus is about every 30-45 minutes, 90 baht. The location of the ticket counter has changed many times recently. After the station, ask Maeklong. Meigong Station is in Rattna Withi, about 5 minutes walk from Meigong Market/Train Station. The return trip is also at the same station. If you encounter a big traffic jam after entering Bangkok, you can get off at the BTS station along the way and take the light rail back to the city (such as BTS Bearing or Bang Na). After arriving at the market, the first thing to do is to confirm the train schedule and then go around and check the card position half an hour in advance. Although tourists have a lot of brain pain, there are many things worth taking. Apart from the colorful booths and trains, they can also capture the moment when the shopkeepers collect and set up the stalls; the interaction between the tourists on the train and the tourists on the rails, and the swarming team. Onlookers.
