Maeklong Railway Market
A unique market set along railway tracks, where vendors quickly pull back their goods as trains pass through.
Maeklong Railway Market, also known as the ‘Umbrella Pulldown Market,’ is an extraordinary market located on active railway tracks. When a train approaches, vendors swiftly retract their awnings and move their goods away from the tracks. After the train passes, the market resumes as usual. It’s a fascinating and thrilling experience that showcases the adaptability and resilience of local vendors.
