Maeklong Railway Market and Amphawa Floating Market
If you personally experience taking a Mini Van to Mi Kung, and then transfer to a two-tall car with the locals to Amphawa Floating Market, the feeling will be very different!
First of all, I will briefly introduce Maeklong Railway Market. It is an authentic market in Thailand. It not only sells all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood and cooked food, but the most special thing is that they set up stalls along the railway, as long as the train passes by, they will be on top The canopy was put away and unfolded one by one after the train departed. The goods for sale placed on the ground and the train passed by, even for us travelers, it is a very unique experience.

In recent years, more and more tourists have visited, and more dining, Massages and even homestays, at this time can also take a boat to watch fireflies, is also one of the must-visit attractions in Bangkok.

※ Precautions
- The itinerary is recommended to follow my instructions, first go to the Maeklong Railway Market, and then transfer to the Amphawa Floating Market, mainly if you want to take a boat to watch the firefly at night, the time and movement will be smoother.
- 美功鐵道市場牽涉到要拍火車進站，但由於火車進站時間都很不準時，我看車站寫著進站時間分別為11:10、11:30、14:30、15:30、17:40等班次，依據格友大方當時拍到火車進站時間是2點，就知道有多不準了，所以大家要抓一下出發的時間喔。
- Transfer to Shuangtiao from Maekong to the Amphawa Floating Market. You can wait for the bus directly on the 7-11 side. At that time, there was no more than 10 minutes to wait for the bus to get a car. It was quite fast.
- On the return journey, you can directly ask the restaurants and homestays on both sides of the strait, and ask where to take the Mini Van back to Bangkok. They are very enthusiastic to guide you.
- There are a lot of tourists at the Amphawa Floating Market on weekends. It is recommended not to stay more than 8 o’clock. At that time, we were afraid that there would be no car to return to Bangkok, so we hurried out to find the Mini Van bus station on the road. There was no bus until tomorrow morning, so we were scared to find the second one. Fortunately, we bought the ticket and took the bus back to Bangkok, otherwise it would be bad. The experience is provided for your reference.
