Bangkok Trip Overview
At first glance, markets in Thailand are all the same but one definitely stands out. Witness Thailand’s Unique Meaklong Railway Market. It has a train track running right down the middle with trains close enough to touch. The coolest thing is the awnings and shop fronts adjusts and perfectly encapsulates the train as it rolls through. Then we get on a long-tail boat and go down the canals where Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is. It is a great way to see the winding canals you would not otherwise have access to on foot. The waterway was a way of life to make it possible to travel and sell the goods as in the past this area was undeveloped and the city was a jungle.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub), Si Champa Alley, Mae Klong 75000 Thailand
We will take you on a walk along the market which actually sits atop the train tracks and try our tropical fruits and food from around the area until a little warning bell rings over the speaker before the train comes. The awnings are pulled back only as far as necessary, the baskets of fruit and vegetables are shifted just enough as to not be sliced by the metal wheels. Amazingly, nothing is damaged or broken, and as soon as the train passes, vendors continue as normal.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Damnoun Saduak, Ratchaiburi, Damnoen Saduak 70130 Thailand
