Maeklong Train Market

This morning we joined a tour that would take us to the train market and floating market. Another early morning with a 6:15am pickup because the markets were about an hour from the city.
We were driven to a train stop in the middle of nowhere and boarded the train to the first market. The market is literally on the train tracks so wherever a train passes through, the vendors need to dismantle their areas so that they’re far enough back from the tracks. Or, if their items are low enough to fit under the train, they do nothing.
As you can see by the photos, the crowds are bunched up with nowhere to go until the train passes. It was unbelievable to see this in person.
