I just back from vacation to Bangkok, since I couldn't post food photos as my camera is still under repairing. Thus I would like to share with you some of the places i visited during this trip to Bangkok and all these photos taken by phone ( sorry for the poor quality of photos). According to my tour guide, Maeklong railway market is one place under the "Unseen Thailand".
We made this stop on our way to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, and it was cool and fun to watching the market vendors selling their goods laid out on both sides of the railway track. We were there for the 1st train at 8.30am, trains are run 8 times a day.
Vendors selling all kind of fresh foods, vegetables, fish and etc
Once the horn of the train sounds, the market vendors quickly fold down the awnings of their stalls, pulling back the tables to allow just enough space for the train to pass.
Train is coming...
back to normal once train leaves..
This small pineapple selling in this market is so good and sweet, you should not miss this if next time you are here.
colourful of steam pau/buns..
You should not miss this cool and fun market if you happen visit to Bangkok..I got to know this place at Min's blog, check out more of her nice pictures here

我也只是在部落格上了战利品部分而已,其他的还在整理中:)
welcum back ^^
bkk is a nice place ^^
I am amazed that the train runs right through the market I would have thought it was very dangerous. The produce though looks so more interesting than European markets. Diane
REALLY Interesting!! I hope can make my trip there too~~waiting my lil Sonia to be ready~~
i havent been there,
but it look very special and dangerous or not?
but i think they all 'biasa' already.

Sonia, your phone pictures are very crisp! This sounds like a fun market to visit. Wow...those vendors have to keep folding and putting up their awnings each time a train goes by. They must have a way to do it fast :)

Welcome back! Happy to see you blogging again. OMG... the photo with train passing right by the food stand...this is crazy! It looks fun to walk around the market with lots of goodies. :-)
that looks so exciting! I'm going to thailand in july too, i hope i get to see a market like this! I love all those fresh produce, such beautiful colours!
Initially 1 2 visit here when my last BKK trip but the taxi driver told us the market already closed at noon :(
What an amazing market! I would have loved visiting it as well.
看起來真有趣。不過，攤販與火車的距離也未免太近了吧！！
that railway is jsut barely few inches from where the traders are sitting..that's so close!..must be very dusty too!
hello,how much you pay travel agent to maeklong raikways street...
