Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is one of Thailand's most famous and vibrant floating markets. Located in the Ratchaburi Province, about 100 kilometers southwest of Bangkok, it attracts numerous tourists with its bustling atmosphere, traditional wooden boats, and wide array of goods for sale. Vendors sell a variety of products from their boats, including fresh fruits, vegetables, ready-to-eat snacks, and souvenirs.
The Maeklong Railway Market, also known as Talad Rom Hoop, is a famous market located in Samut Songkhram Province, Thailand. What makes this market unique and a major tourist attraction is the train that runs directly through it. Here are some key highlights:
Location: The market is situated along the Maeklong Railway, in the heart of Samut Songkhram, which is about 70 kilometers southwest of Bangkok.
Unique Feature: The market operates on both sides of the railway tracks. Several times a day, vendors have to quickly move their goods and retract their awnings to make way for a passing train. Once the train has passed, they return their goods to their original positions and continue business as usual. This process is quick and seamless, taking only a few minutes.
Train Schedule: The train schedule can vary, but typically, there are several trains passing through the market each day. Visitors often time their visit to coincide with a train passing through to witness the remarkable process
If you plan to visit, it's recommended to check the latest train schedules and plan accordingly to ensure you catch the train passing through the market.
