Maeklong Railway Market

The Maeklong Railway Market is one of the largest fresh seafood markets in Thailand, and is centred around the Maeklong Railway's track. Maeklong Railway Marketis located in Samut Songkhram, Thailand. There are tropical fruits and vegetables such as lychee, durian, and mango in big brightly colored piles, variety of dried spices, pastes and herbs, freshly caught seafood and other local foods. The crowd weave their way around in between vendors, picking up whatever they need for the day. The market is sheltered by low-hanging awnings or umbrellas. Once the train is gone, the vendors push back the stalls and awnings into position and everything goes back to normal as nothing has happened.
