With a train passing right through the busy market, Maeklong Railway Market is one of the most popular tourist attractions around Bangkok. Maeklong Railway Market, or Maeklong Train Market, is famous for the train passing smack through the middle of the operating market. Vendors put out their goods (mostly fruit, fish and meat) right up to the railway tracks, and fold their umbrellas and awnings just moments before the train passes. It’s like a synchronized dance. Maeklong Railway Market is also known as Talad Rom Hub, which means Umbrella-Closing Market, or Talat Siang Tai, meaning Life-Risking Market.
Wat Bang Kung, a temple near the Mae Khlong River, has a long history dating back to the Ayutthaya kingdom. It was a place of spiritual significance for soldiers at the nearby naval fort. Within the temple compound, there are statues depicting male Muay Thai fighters in pairs, showcasing various fighting positions. Muay Thai, a form of Thai boxing, has played a significant role in the Burmese-Siamese War and is deeply rooted in Thai history and culture.
