Itinerary

Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)

30 min

Situated to the west of Bangkok in Samut Songkhram, the Maeklong Railway Market is one of the most unusual markets in Thailand. At regular intervals throughout the day, a loud train siren will sound and in a matter of moments, the shop owners will scoop up any stray produce, use long poles to hold up their awnings, and casually make way for the huge passenger train that chugs directly through the market! Once the train has disappeared, the vendors will place their awnings back into position and the market will continue as usual.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

2 hours

Damnoen Saduak floating market is the most popular floating market in Thailand, great for photo opportunities and food.
