Mae Klong River
The Mae Klong River is a significant waterway located in central Thailand. It flows through several provinces, including Samut Songkhram and Ratchaburi, before emptying into the Gulf of Thailand. The river is known for its scenic beauty and plays a vital role in the local economy, supporting agriculture and fishing.
One of the river's most famous attractions is the Mae Klong Railway, which runs alongside it. This railway is notable for its unique market, the Maeklong Railway Market, where vendors sell their goods right on the tracks. When a train approaches, the market stalls are quickly moved aside, creating a fascinating spectacle for visitors.
