Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hoop)
It is a famous market near Mae Klong Railway Station. It is a special railroad market because there are shops lined up along both sides of the railroad tracks. When each signal of the arriving train rings, vendors will rush to close their parasols and canvas, along with clearing all goods quickly. It's called "Talad Rom Hub". The train that passes through this market is a short line from Mahachai Station to Mae Klong Station. Alternatively, you can take the train to admire the view. In addition to being unique, this market also has delicious food that should not be missed.
