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.
