The Maeklong Railway Market, also known as Talat Rom Hup or the Umbrella Pulldown Market, is a vibrant fresh seafood and produce market located in Samut Songkhram Province, about 80 kilometers southwest of Bangkok in central Thailand.
Its unique character stems from the active railway line that runs directly through the heart of the market stalls, creating a spectacle where vendors must swiftly retract their awnings and goods whenever a train approaches, only to resume business moments after it passes. This market has become one of Thailand’s most iconic tourist attractions, blending everyday local commerce with the precision of rail operations in a way that feels both chaotic and harmonious.
The market’s origins trace back to around 1905, when it began as a typical local trading hub for the fishing and farming communities in the area near the Gulf of Thailand estuary. Fishing has long been a primary livelihood here, and the market served as a central spot for selling fresh seafood, fruits, ...

Mahachai is a small town located in the Samut Sakhon province of Thailand, about an hour drive from central Bangkok.
Mahachai has one of the largest fresh seafood markets in Thailand, and it's one of the main seafood distribution centers that cater to the hungry population of Bangkok.
Seafood producers from around the country go to Mahachai to sell their catch, which is then bought and sold to seafood dealers.
In addition to the huge seafood market is a much smaller and lessor known railroad market. Most people pass through here to see the much more famous Maeklong Market without even knowing how fantastic this area is. A few vendors set up on the tracks but that is just the start for shopping.
If you are a seafood lover there is plenty to choose from here. There are countless other shops selling snacks, clothes and so much more.
It’s a short train ride or drive from Bangkok and worth a visit for the waterfront, market and temples.
