Watch a Train Goes Through the Mae Klong Railway Market

Not far from the floating markets, you will find Mae Klong Train Market or as it is also known as the "folded market", one of the most unique things to see in the world and something you should not miss. Mae Klong Train Market, as the name suggested, is a fresh market located right on the train track just before the Mae Klong Train Station and whenever a train is about to get into the station, the entire market folds up and makes way for the train to go through.

The swift action of locals folding their storefronts before the train arrives is quite a sight to behold. Keep in mind that the train runs on schedule and you will have to align your time carefully to see the market folds. Since Mae Klong Station is a terminus station, you should be able to witness the "folding" twice, once as it arrives, and another as it departs, if you wait long enough. On a normal schedule, the Mae Klong train arrives 4 times a day at 8.30 AM, 11.10 AM, 2.30 PM, and 5.40 PM, and the train will departs the Mae Klong Station at 6.20 AM, 9.00 AM, 11.30 AM, and 3.30 PM.
