กาแฟสดรถไฟ Coffee In Train (Maeklong Railway Market)

A wonderful experience that is absolutely worth having if you happen to be near Bangkok.
Here we found the best souvenirs of the trip and very kind shopkeepers.

It's different than seeing a report about it on TV. The dealers actually clear the stands to the side and make sure that there are no longer any people standing in front of the markings. You can touch the train as it passes by! There are a lot of people here.

This is the Maeklong Railway Market in Thailand, arguably the most fascinating train in the world. Sometimes spelled “Mae Klong” or “Meklong”, it’s all the same small town. Believe it or not, the Maeklong Railway runs right through the middle of a busy market multiple times per day! You see some strange, weird and wonderful sights in Thailand but this has to be one of the weirdest of them all.

There are only 4 trains per day scheduled to arrive and depart from Maeklong station, but it’s best to get there early in the morning, as some trains might be cancelled. Also, the market is more full at that time.

The trains are scheduled to arrive at Maeklong station at 08: 30,11: 10,14: 30 and 17: 40.

The trains are scheduled to depart Maeklong station at 06: 20,09: 00,11: 30 and 15: 30.

This market is one of destination for tourist in Samut Songkhram. You can get souvenirs which not very much different compared to Bangkok. The interesting iz that the market is at the said of railway.

I had always seen that train market vidoes on fb and believed that such market actually exists. But being there and experiencing that moment when after an announcement market suddenly temporarily closed and then train crossed from that thin space that was one of best moments I've experienced in my life. This is a must visit place if you are in Bangkok.

Truly one of a kind - the place where owerwhelming smells, forms and colours trangress boundaries of perception. It quickly gets stuffy and twice as hot as outside when you enter. Think more than once before you get hungry as you need a strong stomach to eat there though I could not resist an ice-cold coconut. Durian degustation on the spot may seriously deteriorate your sightseeing capabilities and make you immediately search for a bucket in panic. Meanwhile dried mangos in bags, sold cheap in bulk seem much safer. At least safer than a train literally passing your face a foot away. Spare a thought for those there, who make this place so unique as they drain their lifes in intervals between passing trains in a pursue of a better tomorrow. I honestly recommend a visit there as it is a deeply trainscendental experience.

Unique place.take note with the train arrival and departure timing and you will be able to see the uniqueness of this place.

So interesting to see a train go through whilst the market is hustling and bustling with people and activity. Go with a tour before the floating markets.
