Maeklong Market, Thailand’s the most dangerous wet market, is a unique, 'must-see attraction' that ought to get on every visitor's itinerary. Maeklong Railway Market is a traditional Thai market selling fresh vegetables, food and fruit. It is called 'Risky Market' because there’s a train track that runs directly through the center of the market. What makes the market special is that it occupies a part of a train line. a couple of times each day, there’s a train running directly through the market. a couple of minutes before the train comes, vendors lower their umbrellas and move a number of their produce far away from the train tracks. Literally within seconds of the train passing through the market vendors need to  pull their goods, and themselves, out of the way. Some are left on the bottom, with the train passing right over them. Amazingly, nothing gets damaged or broken, and when train passes, the vendors move their goods back onto the tracks and continue as normal (until next train arrives). The precision timings and movements of everyone involved are fascinating to witness. Travelling the Risky Market, its' a unique and exotic experience. Don’t miss to take photo and video at the Maeklong, the Risky Market or the Railway Market on your one of a lifetime hashtags.

The Maeklong, the Risky Market, Talad Rom Hub, train Umbrella Market, the folding umbrella market or the Railway Market, in Samut Songkhram Province an hour southwest of Bangkok, is a travel attraction with a unique, funny and somewhat bewildering twist. The market spreads over a train track. Tourists head here to peek at these mad few minutes when the train approaches, and the awnings and shop fronts are moved back from the track and are then replaced once the train has passed.
