Do you think getting groceries is boring?
Yes! That's what I feel when it's my turn to visit the market. 😐
But you will change your opinion if you visit The Maeklong Railway Market in Thailand!
How could that be?
A very interesting VPW from Thailand with Mr. Sear.
Hi everyone! From different countries with different time zones. 😁
Welcome to Maeklong Station... 🤗
The Maeklong Railway Market, a market in Samut Songkhram province is located in central Thailand. The Maeklong Railway is famous for its route through The Maeklong Railway Market “Umbrella Pulldown Market”.
Umbrella Pulldown Market? 🤷♀️
Whenever the train approaches, vendors with their stuff and groceries move back from the rails and return to their place again after the train passes.
How many trains do you think come through the market per day?
🥱??
Mr. Sear said that 8 trains per day and 4 of them go to Bangkok.
Many vendors you can see along the railway through the market. What can you find there? Chilli, garlic, lime, onion, and dragon fruits! Various vegetables and fruits, in addition, you can enjoy walking with your coconut juice. 😋 What I really wanted to try was the various colorful ice cream there. 🍿ಥ_ಥ

Also, you can buy fresh sea fish, shrimp, crab, and meat!
Main Event ''The Adventurous Market''
The train was about to arrive. So, there was an announcement in 5 different languages; Thai, Japanese, Chinese, French, and … don't worry of course you will hear it in English too! 😃
People aligned waiting for the train. Vendors moved back, closing their umbrellas! Yes, it's Umbrella Pulldown Market. ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
Many visitors with their smartphones started to capture the moment. I would do the same thing, of course! 🤭 What was cheerful when I noticed some passengers waving back to the visitors. 🤣
In the market, the train was moving slowly. That would give me a chance for exchanging flowers with passengers if I was there. 😂🌷🌼🌻
Oh!! Close enough! 🤭
This red line, when the train is coming, people must stay behind it.
Yes, it's a toilet! Nothing can bother you during roaming the market. 😆 This market reminds me of the one in my city but without being adventurous like that.
This was a great VPW from Mr. Sear in Thailand. Thank you for your effort. We had great fun and laughed in this VPW.
