Maeklong Railway Market
Maeklong Railway Market (Bangkok-Thailand)
Maeklong Railway Market exists since 1905 and is a very popular attraction among tourists, so the Rabbit recommends that You visit it. The market is about 80 km from Bangkok and You can reach it by a mini van or a train coming from Bangkok to the market and returning You back. In older times, fishing was a source of income for people in these areas because they sold their products on the market and that is why the government decided to build a railway linking the market with other parts of Thailand, as well as with Bangkok. The railroad passes through the market and You will hear the train before You see it. Merchants are already trained to move their stalls and umbrellas to keep the train running through the market sometimes eight times a day.
