Hello, hivers. How is everyone doing? Today I'd like to share with you our experience at the Maeklong Railway Market. This is the second part of the excursion we had booked that day. If I recall correctly, it was 30 minutes distant from the Floating Market. So we left after our meal. It was a pleasant experience, and when we arrived, there were plenty of tourists from all nations eager to enjoy the view.

When we arrived, our tour guide informed us we could buy souvenirs but not to go too far; we arranged to meet in a specified location. When we arrive, there are many souvenirs on display along the side of the railway. There are also cafes and restaurants in the vicinity where you can eat while waiting. So there are souvenirs that were very cheap and we immediately grab the chance to buy it since the train has not yet arrived. I was astounded to see so many tourists around; we even had the opportunity to talk to other tourists and ask each other to take photos, lol. It takes 15 minutes for the train to come, and there is a red line that we must avoid since it is unsafe. When the train arrived, some of the tourists were overly nosy and were not following the rules, which was extremely dangerous, and people had to push them away to ensure their safety.

When the train arrived, some of the passengers were tourists as well, and they were clapping and shouting, undoubtedly happy, as we exchanged hellos. It was great to watch tourists applauding for each other, and after the train passed, we went for a quick food because we hadn't had lunch at the floating market. We had Chicken Pad Thai and a Thai Milk Tea, while my friend had Coffee Late.

Our tour guide approached us and instructed us to gather up before proceeding to our next stop. It was a wonderful experience and something new for me, and I enjoyed it. Will upload the next spot in a few days; thanks again, hivers!

I love the idea of using bamboo as holder for the plastic cups. It's my first time seeing something as creative as this. I also like the very colorful display of souvenirs showcasing some aspects of the country. The train ride experience was something memorable I think. Good to know how tourists being in a foreign land also support each other.

Yes indeed and it's very cutesy even if we drink it inside they still give us the bamboo holder
