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 ...
Wat Sam Wihan, also known as the Monastery of the Three Preaching Halls and formerly called Wat Sam Phihan, is an active Buddhist temple located north of the historic city island in Ayutthaya Thailand.
It stands near the junction of Khlong Hua Ro and Khlong Mueang, along what was once the course of the Lopburi River, opposite the site of the former Maha Chai Fortress.
The temple is said to have been established around 1377 during the reign of King Boromracha I (also known as Khun Luang Phra Ngua), in the early years of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. According to traditional accounts, Mom Luang Chi Dam and her two younger brothers, Chao Fa Khao and Chao Fa Khiao, all of royal descent, founded the monastery as a place to enshrine the ashes of their mother and other relatives. They divided the construction among themselves, with Mom Luang Chi Dam responsible for the reclining Buddha and its vihara.
The ordination hall received its boundary stones around 1387. The name reflects the original presence of three viharas ...
Khlong Toei wet market, or Talad Khlong Toei, occupies a sprawling site along Rama IV Road in Bangkok’s Khlong Toei district, a short walk from the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre and Khlong Toei stations on the MRT Blue Line.
The name of the surrounding area recalls an older canal once bordered by fragrant pandan leaves, though much of that waterway was long ago filled to expand the road network.
Today the market forms a dense, labyrinthine complex of permanent stalls under pavilions and open-air lanes where vendors spread their goods under umbrellas, and porters weave carts through crowds of shoppers and the occasional motorbike.
Its history is bound up with the creation of Bangkok Port in the same district. After the Second World War the World Bank helped finance a modern container facility on the Chao Phraya River, one of the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, to handle Thailand’s growing agricultural exports. Migrant workers from Isan, the South, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and ...
Last season (2025/26 Thai League 1), Port FC finished a strong 2nd with 60 points from 18 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses (59 goals scored, 23 conceded, +36 GD), behind champions Buriram United (70 points). Lamphun Warriors ended 12th on 29 points (4 wins, 17 draws, 9 losses; 35-47, -12 GD), a mid-to-lower table campaign marked by many draws but limited winning consistency.
Tonight’s early 2026/27 Thai League 1 meeting (Matchday 2) at PAT Stadium sees Port as clear favorites. Port started the new season strongly and sit top after a road win, while Lamphun are bottom with zero points after a defeat and a poor goal difference. Port’s home form, superior squad quality, and recent head-to-head edge. A 2-1 or 2-0 scoreline looked realistic given Port’s attacking options and Lamphun’s defensive vulnerability on the road.
Port delivered exactly that result with a 2-1 home win. Issam Al-Subhi converted a penalty in the 14th minute (after a VAR check) to give the hosts a 1-0 half-time lead. ...
