Visit the famous Maeklong Railway Market, one of the most unique markets in Thailand. Here, you will witness the incredible moment when the train passes directly through the market. As the train approaches the station, local vendors quickly pull back their umbrellas, fold their awnings, and move their goods away from the railway tracks to clear the path. Once the train has passed, everything is set up again within seconds, and the market returns to its lively atmosphere. At the market, you will find a wide variety of products including fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood, local snacks, and many inexpensive souvenirs. It is also a great place to observe the daily life of local people as they sell fresh produce and goods in this bustling traditional market. Don’t forget to take photos of this amazing and unique experience.

Belle our guide was fabulous, fun and knowledgeable. The train market offered up plenty of sights and smells to take in before the main event of the hasty pack away to make way for the train. We had a great spot to watch as the train passed us by too. Then on to the floating market which was busy and great fun. Amazing day out and memories made. Thoroughly recommend

Five star guide and a great experience

Our guide Belle made this a memorable experience. She brought so much energy to this trip that I would recommend her as a guide on any trip you choose. We were a family of 12 but everything was well organised and smooth.
