Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market) is a local market in Samut Songkhram Province, commonly called Siang Tai (life-threatening) market. It is considered to be one of the great attractions of Thailand. Spread over a length of 100 meters, the market is located on the railway near Mae Klong Railway Station. It is a fresh produce market, similar to other local markets, which sells seafood, vegetables, fruit, fresh and dry foods, meats and other miscellaneous goods. But with the peculiarity of the name, "life threatening" market because its stalls are connected to the Mae Klong-Ban Laem railway, which is a short railway line to and from Mahachai and Mae Klong. The vendors at the market have umbrellas or canvases to protect themselves from the sun. Shelters stick into the railroad where visitors walk and shop. When the signal of the oncoming train rings, chaos occurs: the vendors will rush to close their parasols and their canvases, eliminating all the goods that will obstruct the oncoming train. Once the train has passed, the umbrellas and canvases will be rearranged and the goods will be placed back in their usual place next to the railway.

Arrival at the pier and with a long tail boat in about 30 minutes of travel between the canals, you will reach the Floating Market.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Ratchaburi is one of the most popular floating markets in Thailand. Every day many Thai and foreign tourists come here to shop, eat and soak up the atmosphere of Thailand's water markets built over 100 years ago.
Klong Damnoen Saduak
Damnoen Saduak is the straightest and longest canal in Thailand. The canal was built on royal initiative as Thailand's King Rama IV wanted to connect the Mae Klong River with the Chinese river routes to support transportation and trade. It took over 2 years to excavate, and was eventually completed under the reign of his successor King Rama V. The canal is 32 kilometers long and has more than 200 branches.
The popularity of the Damnoen Saduak floating market grew to new heights in 1971 - 1973, when the river was filled with farmers on their boats selling their wares. And this is how the trade is done in this area to this day.

Amphawa Floating Market is one of the most beautiful floating markets in Thailand, old and very popular with tourists. This floating market is also one of the main tourist attractions in Samut Songkhram.
