Truly unique market

Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub), located in the small town of Maeklong, about 70 kilometers south of Bangkok, is a truly unique market. Here vendors pull their umbrellas to make way for an oncoming train that passes through the bustling market thrice every hour. It’s quite a sight to behold as locals rush around to move out of the way and then return to their stalls moments after the train has safely traversed. A visit to Talad Rom Hub is not only a fascinating experience but also a chance to mingle with locals and purchase some delicious and fresh mackerel fish and other food products.
