At Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub), vendors fold their awnings and pull back their goods eight times a day as a commuter train squeezes through with inches to spare on either side.
The tour continues to Amphawa Floating Market, where wooden boats serve grilled seafood and coconut sweets along a narrow canal, and as evening falls, a firefly boat cruise drifts down the Maeklong River. A stop at Wat Bang Kung reveals a temple completely enveloped by the roots of an ancient Banyan tree, a quiet contrast to the energy of the markets.
