Bangkok

Our tour guide will meet you at your Bangkok hotel lobby for pickup. From there, your adventure begins with a visit to our first stop, the fascinating Maeklong Railway Market.

Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)

Maeklong Railway Market is a traditional Thai market selling fresh vegetables, food, and fruit. The market is unique because it occupies part of a train line. A few times a day, a train runs directly through the market. A few minutes before the train comes, vendors lower their umbrellas and move some of their produce away from the train tracks. Some are left on the ground, with the train passing right over them. Amazingly, nothing gets damaged or broken, and as soon as the train passes, the vendors move their goods back onto the tracks and continue as normal (until the next train arrives). Watch the train pass within inches of the market stalls—an incredible sight and a must-see cultural experience!
