Maeklong Railway ~ "A century-old market, a salon of light and shadow on the left bank"

Maeklong Railway is a very unique market in Bangkok and a very special lifestyle. Various vendors set up stalls next to the railway 🚞 and quickly restore the stalls when the train passes by. Such repeated wonders have become a tourist attraction visited by tourists from all over the world, and it has even been reported by Discovery, which has aroused the curiosity of foreign tourists! !

📕A century-old historical story:
The Maeklong Railway Market is located in central Thailand, 1-2 hours’ drive from the city. The origin of the market dates back to the late 19th century, when Thailand’s 🇹🇭 railway was being developed. At that time, residents also placed items beside the railway tracks for business. The passage of trains also made it more convenient for local residents to travel to the city. Over time, it has become a very unique lifestyle and market culture here.

🍜Food recommendation:
~Mango sticky rice~
Since Thailand has a "tropical wilderness" climate, it is very suitable for growing mangoes, so it has become a unique local specialty in Thailand. Sliced mangoes paired with sweet sticky rice are a good taste! !

～Fried small fish～
Simply coat the freshly caught small fish with flour and fry until golden brown. The dish is simple but delicious and crispy✌️

～Pork skewers～
The local secret spices are used to make the taste even more delicious through charcoal grilling😋
