Maeklong Railway Market is a traditional Thai market selling fresh vegetables, food and fruit. What make it special is that the market is located on a train line where, a few times a day, the train runs directly through the market. When the train comes, vendors lower their umbrellas and move some of their produce further back off the train tracks. Some of the vegetables are layaing on the ground and the train goes right over them. Amazingly, nothing is damaged or broken, and as soon as the train passes, vendors continue as normal.

The parasol-closing event happens eight times per day according to the time that trains leave Mahachai for MaeKlong and depart MaeKlong for Mahachai. Trains will arrive at MaeKlong Station at 8.30 am, 11.10 am, 2.30 pm and 5.40 pm, and depart the station at 6.20 am, 9.00 am, 11.30 am and 3.30 pm.
