Start your day tour with an early morning pick-up by a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle before making your way to the first stop of the day, the Maeklong Railway Market. Here vendors set up their vibrant stalls right on the active railway tracks, creating a vibrant and colorful maze of fresh produce, tantalizing street food, and locally crafted goods. Witness the incredible spectacle as the train approaches, and watch as vendors swiftly retract their awnings and goods to make way for the passing locomotive – a signature feature of the Maeklong Railway Market.
