In Maeklong Railway Market, built along a railway track, a compromise is reached between vendors and passing commuter trains. When the rail track is clear, stall owners can set up stalls at will. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the market had attracted many tourists. Nowadays, due to the decrease of passengers, the number of trains that shuttle here every day has been reduced from eight to two.
