How Get To Maeklong Railway Market - Thailand's Most Dangerous - For 23 Baht
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- A great half day trip outside of Bangkok is the Maeklong Railway Market, also know as Rom Hup Market. Let's take a trip together to Maeklong Railway Market (Rom Hup Market ).
It's an amazing place and is very famous for the unusual sight of the market built on the tracks. Tourists come from all around the world to see this unusual market.
You can get there many different ways but the cheapest and most authentic way is by taking the train. So I will show you how to get there by yourself from Bangkok. It leaves from Wongwian Yai Station and involves a ferry and switching trains.
Just outside of Bangkok Thailand is one of the world's most unique markets, the Maeklong Railway Market. (Rom Hup Market) its one of the largest produce and seafood markets in Thailand. But beyond the selection of fresh fruit and fish, the market has become infamous for one thing-the train that runs directly through it.
In 1905, the Maeklong Railway built a commuter train line through the center of the popular market. But rather than move, the vendors adapted to the new conditions, working around the train that passes through eight times a day, seven days a week.
Getting there is easy and fun. I show the whole trip and how to navigate it without having to do a tour.
Enjoy the video!

Thank you.
Thanks for watching. I hope it helps if you ride the train to the market.
Thanks for the detailed nice description of the journey to Mae Klong market. I take this tips for my journey on 26 January 2023.,
You will have a good time. Go early so you can see the second train of the day come through the market. You can spend some time walking around the area and seeing all of the market. There is also a nice temple about 500 meters from the train station.
Glad my video was helpful to you. Message me after you go and let me know what you thought of the trip please, I would like to know.
Thanks for watching.
Good video buddy, so the train goes to the market which is the end of the line. The train stops at the market and goes back to where it started, is the correct?
Yes that is correct. The only problem you might have is when you switch trains and catch the short ferry in the middle. Just follow the crowd and you will be fine. It’s pretty easy.
Thanks to promote Thailand 🙏😊
No problem. Thanks for watching. I hope the video was helpful.

Maybe you can consider to film, however how many days will you be in Thailand ... wishing you an awesome visit our country 👌🇳🇱🙇♀️
Hi if this still possible to do in 2024? what time you start this trip? or any another option. after visit maeklong, how to get to the floating market?
Yes you can still do this. The train runs 4 times a day. I would recommend doing one of the first trips of the day. You can walk around the market and watch it come through the next time it goes. You can then catch the train back to Bangkok or you can catch a Songtaow to Damnoen Saduak Floating market. I’ve never done it that way since I usually ride my motorcycle there but it’s not too difficult to do. I don’t know the cost of doing that but it’s not too expensive. You can check with a quick search of getting from the train station to the floating market. You could also hire out a taxi or van but that would be a lot more expensive. Sorry I don’t know all of the information but I can answer that the train is still running everyday. I out the schedule in the video so easy to see the times.
How do we get back! ….😮. I’m leaving California January 25th to Thailand. I just spent an hour googling maps and train stations then I found this! Perfect video.
Just do the same trip in reverse. I can’t remember the times exactly but I showed the sign at the Maha Chai station (the second train after the ferry ride). A good idea is to catch the first train of the day, get to the market early, do some shopping and eating, then watch the next train come through the market. You can then jump on it on the way back to Bangkok. It sits at the station for about 20-30 minutes so you don’t need to rush.
I hope that helps. Glad you found the video and thanks for watching.
@@endlessjourneytravels lol, thanks for the reply but I was just kidding about the return trip...lol😁
@@1someoneelse lol I missed the joke. Have a good trip.
Hi please how can i go from maeklong railway to damnuan saduak floating market ?
I’ve always just ride my motorcycle but most people take either a day tour that has a van that takes you to the market. The easiest option is to catch a taxi. It’s not far so should only cost a few hundred baht. I’m not aware of a bus that goes between the 2 markets so I can’t help you there. Sorry I can’t help more than that.
what is the better time to go in maeklong railway? or what time did you arrived in wongwian yai station?
A good idea is to take the first train there. You get to go on the train through the market. After you get there you have time to explore and shop and can see the second train come through. If you don’t want to go to the floating market and just want to come back to Bangkok jump on that train and go back to Wongwian Yai. I can’t remember the exact times but I put the time table in the video. Some people prefer to go a bit later in the day and catch a van back to Bangkok. I would do the early morning way. I hope this helps.
Bro can please type the station names iam now in Bangkok
Here is a link to the rail line. Scroll down a bit and the route map is right there. Some of the spellings are hard to type so you can just copy and paste if you are putting them into the gps.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maeklong_Railway
HI. The map 01:57 is not right for me, if I take the final exit of the metro I find myself directly on the large double lane avenue which I follow and cross the overpass to station, very very thaks to show the timetables.
I hope you found it ok. Can use the BTS overpass or walk down on the surface street. It sounds like you went down right away. Either way it should be about the same distance.
I'm on 10.10 Ban Laem to Maekong train now! Thanks for your video (wongwan yay 8.35 train) 👍
@@opensourceside very good. I hope the video helped. Have a great time!
@@endlessjourneytravels yes. To came back i take a minivan in a station near market (on left watching arriving train direction) I didn't want to wait 4 hours for the train to arrive 18.30 to bangkok. I saw the 11.30 a.m. passage. No floating
Why is it dangerous ???
It’s dangerous because people have been killed there by the train. It goes slow but there have been accidents inside of the market. The stalls and people are packed in tight.
@@endlessjourneytravels thanks for the info
@@MrTupeloFlash no problem. Thanks for watching the video and let me know if you have any more questions.
Horrible trip in 2024. This once a "hardcore railway lovers only journey" was spoiled by the influencer instagrammer youtuber plague these days.
In 2002 I was the only tourists on this line, and I even was told by a Thai couple in Baan Laem how adventorous I am. In February 2024 I went again.... and it was horrible. The train became so crowded a couple of stops before Maekhlong that I thought I was on MRT or BTS during Rush hour.
Please... there should be a world wide upload tax for videos on social media when they are about travelling.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. So I should be taxed to upload a video that people want to watch? Interesting concept.
@@endlessjourneytravels This would be the most radical solution for the overtourism problem. I call myself an "Outfluencer", and I am afraid that nowadays a lot of problems caused by overtourism is due to advertising on (un)social media.
Yes, uploadtax is more a provocative proposal from my side then a real wish, but it is difficult to count on people's reason not to do things.
Think about places like Venice, Barcelona, Mallorca in Europe, where people started hating tourists. I don't want that here in Thailand happening.
I don't mind x videos about Pattaya, y videos about Khaosan Road or z videos of walks between Nana and Asok. But keep some secrets for yourself. And let the adventourous people discover them by their own.
By the way 555 If you go to Wutthakat BTS it is much closer to the Mahachai Railway station with same name than Wong Wian Yai.
