Maeklong Railway Market, Thailand


Maeklong Railway Market is located in the city of Maeklong district in Samut Songkram province, 75km southwest of Bangkok. This morning market is near the Maeklong Railway Station, all market stalls are situated beside the railway. The train will stop at the Maeklong Station 8 times a day.

The unique scene in this morning market is all vendors will pull down their awnings and move all their goods away from the railway while the train is reaching the station and will put back all the goods and awnings into the same position after the train has passed through. All vendors will resume their business as usual.

谢谢 jackson ^.^
我认为不需要,因为这个地方是一个市场, 是一个小镇, 一个早上就可以走完了。你可以在那吃了午餐才离开,试一试那边的鸡饭,蛮不错的,是角头间,泰国华侨的饭店。不好意思,我不懂店名 :P 没记错的话,它就在 Maeklong Railway Station 的对面, 也就是在 Maeklong 市场的隔壁。
