Maeklong Railway Market: Where the Train Runs Through the Market
Get to know the market where vendors fold their umbrellas every time a train passes, and how to time your visit to see it.
Maeklong Railway Market is a fresh market set right on the railway tracks. When a train approaches, vendors fold their umbrellas and move their stalls aside, then set them back up as soon as it has passed.
How to Time Your Visit to See the Train
Trains pass through the market only a few times a day, so check the timetable before you go. On our tour, the guide plans the timing so you arrive just in time.
Where to Go Next
