Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)

้็HOOP ROM Railway Market – The Risky Market You Must See to Believe! Nestled right along the active railway near Maeklong Station, this 100-meter-long market is Thailand’s most thrilling shopping experience. Known as the Umbrella Pulldown Market or Risky Market, vendors boldly display their goods directly on the tracks, shaded by umbrellas and tarps. But here’s the catch: several times a day, when the train approaches, a horn sounds—and in a heartbeat, umbrellas come down, stalls are pulled back, and the train rolls past just inches away. As soon as it’s gone, the market springs back to life as if nothing happened. This heart-racing moment, repeated daily, has become a must-see spectacle for travelers. A perfect blend of chaos and charm, Maeklong Railway Market is truly one of Thailand’s most unforgettable sights!
