Damnoen Saduak Floating Market – Train Market

Pick up from your hotel.

Visit Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a unique and vibrant shopping destination in Thailand that promises an unforgettable experience. As you make your way through the maze of narrow canals, you’ll be surrounded by the colorful sights and sounds of local vendors paddling their boats and selling an array of goods from fresh produce to handmade crafts.

Next, we will go visit Talad Rom Hoop or Maeklong Railway Market. This is a unique market that is held every day literally on the rail tracks. The action at the railway market begins several minutes before the train is due to pass through the market. As soon as the siren signals the arrival of the train, everything stops. Shoppers will hop off the tracks, and vendors will quickly pack their goods and prepare to close/retract their awnings from the train track as the train passes by. This process happens fairly quickly since the awning poles have wheels attached. Once the train is gone, its business as usual as if nothing happened. For the locals, they are neither excited nor annoyed by this event since the market has been here long before the railway was setup in 1905.
