- Maekhlong Train Market. The Maeklong Train Market (ตลาดแม่กลอง) is a most unusual market because a train passes through the market four times a day. Maeklong Railway Market is certainly unique. The market is a day trip from Bangkok and definitely worth a visit. The most popular tour is a combined Damnoen Saduak Market and Maeklong Railway Market tour: gyg.me/xBooZogJ
When the train comes through, the market vendors leap into action to roll back their awnings and push their stalls out of the way of the oncoming train. As soon as the train passes, the stalls are pushed back into place and it’s business as usual.
Here’s a tip. Maeklong Railway Market can get pretty crowded so if you want a good vantage point of the train, grab a seat in one of the local cafes and order a coffee or tea while you wait.

I like how they instantly resume operations right after the last carriage left the vicinity, it is almost like a well- practised act!
Another video I watched said it's been this way over 100 years. They are well practiced.
It's not "almost", it really is. Practice makes perfect.
This may never change as this is a tourist attraction!!
nice fresh vegetables, marinated in diesel oil :-(
You're too funny.
yes yes I am agree with you kimusabe :-P
U don't need olive oil when u cook
No
And in toilet waste possibly
The Mario Kart app version released a track that was themed around Bangkok, Thailand. Part of it included driving on the train track platforms through the market. It was so cool in the game that I wanted to see what the real life inspiration was
Been there. One of the coolest experiences of my life!
You’re beautiful and so is your accent. Thank you for sharing this vid.
Wow, that's what I call a tight squeeze !! 😲👍
You certainly came through with your promise! Great video and thank you for posting in detail the process of all this. I didn't realize some of the store owner's have more than half of their stores to move back when the train rolls through.
It's a wonder to watch, really. I don't think there's anything else like it anywhere in the world. I hope your wife enjoys it *****
OwnsGermany ayush nayak

C'est vraiment étonnant. Je n'ai jamais vu une telle chose dans mes voyages !!!
Very handy train if you need to chop your vegetables!
The four basic food groups. Fruit , vegetables, engine oil and brake fluid …
I have arrived !!!!!!!!!! Welcome to Thailand !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Trip Worth the time.

***** Right then. If you love Thailand, what about this one? th-cam.com/video/tP1cxwdht1U/w-d-xo.html
***** My face wasn't in it.

It was fun to make but oh so steamy! The weather can get rather uncomfortably hot. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you! I'm not brave, just adventurous.
Lazy Travel Days

Thank you for agreeing with my choice.
that's amazing
Amazing !
omg its so cool i want to go
Wow fresh vegetables
Impressionnant !!!!!!!
What if passengers flush the toilets on the train while passing this section?
Flush the toilets on a Thai train? lol Obviously you've never been to Thailand or ridden on Thai trains before? lol
You might just have to hold on and make a funny face.
that's their method of fertilizer........
Hmm, I don't think there's a toilet...maybe they have to cross their legs??
Thai people sleep in shit, you are just giving them a dose of vitamin they enjoy.
Nice capture
Its very unique wet market.
+Renata McGee yes it is
very interesting place in my childhood and also nw as a train lover I always think weather in our country india small railway tracks are happened in our and we go our market by train it will be a more pleasure for me as a train lover and also thing how fun will happen
Interesting. I''l have to check out the railway tracks in India one day.
Nice!!
Wow crazy
One day I seen a dream in which this scene was there
So I searched in you tube for that
And it's really same place in this world
I was thinking that was only a dream but it's really real
Neat market + tippy toes train + beautiful host
Thanks for the compliment.
Ồ tầu thai lan còn lộn xộn hơn ta hầy ,giao thông ,choj búa cuộc sống mưu sinh kkk
Great music!
Very beatefull
Damn.. they just let the train run on all those foods..wow..
Amazing
Interesting Place..
+Angela Booth fun too
+CHRISTINA PFEIFFER As a rail fan, a trip to a place like that would be a local phone call to heaven. I also love to shop. The best of both worlds :)
Make plans to go and experience it for yourself ***** .

Hoping someday that will happen.;)
awesome
Super .
Very good market lots of stalls very good food danger about the passing trains not bad market at all the poor stalls holder have to keep doing take their stuffs in and out very hard work feel very sorry for thr poor , God be with them thank you good video.
Cool
omg..cucumber under the train..
Ha ha yes, indeed!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Duuhh hilo soko hatarii
Yes if they flushing or spetting it throw some thing on food or vegetables. So what happened
Imagine how fast coronavirus would spread in this little marketplace!
It would spread quicker at a Trump rally
For me as a thai, this is undeveloped!
It's embarrassing, not amazing at all.
But Maybe amazing for some foreign tourists.
Well, it is pretty unusual.
@korawit woonsin ~ those veggies were getting sprayed with deisel fuel or some other form of exhaust - yuck, I sure would hate to have that on my salad
The white people are already at the top of Thailand haha. The west benefits from Thai cheap labour and slavery.
lol put white or japanese as leader. I feel bad for your inferiority complex.
no one said it's amazing. it's just unusual. aka funny...
Nice!
Interesting
So super🙏
Remarkable video, thanks for taking it. The shots of the train riding *over* the vegetables was incredible....how long before the train comes through are the stalls required to be packed up? Are people still pulling back their tables 20 seconds before arrival??
They pretty much pack up at the last minute, which makes it all the more incredible to see. The vendors are pretty relaxed about it as it's something they are used to doing every day.
@@travel2next how many trains a day? Every hour?
Qué locura!!.
nice one
Que Loco !!!!! 😁
Those funny little human systems like that all over this world make this world pretty interesting
wow
Bustling Market With Fish, Fruit, Cooking, Cakes
+Samir Bhargav yep
There were so many train running through the city around all around the world like Noblesville, Indiana. Main Street, La Grange. Kentucky, Downtown Tampa, Florida. Bleigh Avenue in Philadelphia.
Chicago South Shore, Michigan. City Lahore City Pakistan
Indian. Hanoi Vietnam
Super 👌 video
Why do they set up right next to the tracks?
Everything pauses when the train passes;
Then, the market returns to the masses.
With the number 1221, that train is in no Rush
It's definitely not in a rush!
This is Thailand OMG. This is not what I expected
This is just an area in thailand. Meaklong train market.
Thailand is so much more than just this.
Well that is just crazy! But seriously Question what came first the market or the train?
The market was built around the train track.
The market was first
Crabs, yummy!
This is so cool. Looks like a pretty narrow gauge railway. I'm gonna look it up !
Meter gauge, very narrow
unbelievable that they cannot find a better place to relocate the market
Well, you must admit, the location gives this market character.
Just imagine if the train breaks down at the market.
That'd be unfortunate.
Nice video 👍
Hello I from thailand
With the railway market had warnings a passenger train was to pass through had shop keepers fold in their awnings and move their stalls out of the way as the train was to pass through the shop keepers extend their awnings and bring out their stalls to continue business as usual until the next train.
Been there. Really cool but smells a bit!
quityourbullshit
@@aces553 You appear to be a complete bellend! :)
Have u been on air New Zealand ?

Really good video
Thank you
Everyone be like: I have been TRAINING my whole life for this 🤣🤣🤣
Gokilll
Mera bharat mahan hai .....i love india ...........jay hind jay bharat ......sare jhan se achha hindustan hamara hai
Nice. But...... If you look at Google Maps and Streetview you can see that only the last bit of the track is still there. So the Umbrella is probably only folding for the tourists. The train is running back and forth for tourist purposes. But still .... go there and see for yourself.
Is there shortage of space
It can be a little tight, especially when the train is rumbling through.
Para os turistas é massa ver, mas imagino para eles que vendem o caos toda hora
what surprise
Thailand only - -^^'
Waw kretakap
Was it necessary to make a market on railway track ?
It probably was in the olden days when the railway was a means of bringing more customers to buy their goods.
Zoya Ali the market came before the railway.
Don't you mean 'Was it necessary to build a railway line through a market', and no, but they wanted to run a railway line between cities, and the market didn't want to move.
Zoya Ali The market actually predates the railway track.
Zoya Ali the market came first
Railways market! By appointment...
Actually, the train is usually late!
Be careful when is in advance... :)
you are gengstaa when you see this
This is so crazy 😂
It's so crazy it has become an attraction!
i was there last week haha
Did you buy anything?
Did you say “Game On!!” as the train was leaving. That’s on my bucket list now.
How & when do they know when train is on its way through the market stalls
you'll hear it coming!
How works toilet in train ?
I wonder is there anything left that it's not a tourist atraction?
Huuuuffffft....
This is pretty fn cool but I can't help but wonder which came first the train or the market.
Also the whole time I just kept thinking holy hell that market looks unsanitary af.
i think market was there first..
then they need the train to go through that area to next destination.
This is something only a government can do.
Don't see the reverse happening that easily
where all those sellers said let's setup market on both side of the tracks
and government agrees to this.
would be good to know the history of this railway market.
A little extra seasoning for your salad.
A cartoon by the name of super wings brought me here to see if it was really true wowwwwww😮😮😮😮😮 cool tho .
Yeah the vegetables will be so good with diesel and dust from wheels. Never buy from markets that are close to trains, even from train station. Is a lot of diesel smoke, oil, dust.
It is close to the stalls but I can imagine they'll still sell the products to people, imagine all the crap that gets on the food... :) :) :)
There are tons of tourists. I’d bet a huge part of keeping the market running is tourism revenue
Perhaps.
@CRISTINA PFEIFFER TH-cam CHANNEL. This kind of railway crossing city exists in Việt Nam North at Hà Nội city (in Old Quarter).
