Did you cross the Tha Chin river at Mahachai or follow up the Bangkok-Mahachai Khlong? I also recommend Saphan Plaa but earlier in the morning when the overnight boats are arriving with their catch. Thanks to you I followed up your comments on the Saphan Phlaa at Paknam although the Mahachai is busier. - Gerry Popplestone Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:43:29 +0100 Rich, take us to near and far, to those places most have heard of and never heard of. When we resided in Thailand, the locals would pepper us with questions when'd ask them about something, speaking mediocre restaurant Thai! Always complimenting us "poot Thai dee mak mak"! We'd grin, half blushing and reply "poot Thai nit noy"... on the other hand, my 3yrs of college French didn't do much good in Tahiti... - superman Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:44:25 +0100 Richard, I'm afraid your Thai travel blog's are making the lonely planet, look like amateurs, I'm thinking between, your travel blogs and your Food blogs, eventually you may need to enter a full time career in Publishing. Believe in your self if you ever enter into book Publishing, you have the talent, just start off small to keep your cash flow steady and then just keep growing steadily. - paul_au Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:44:40 +0100 Got to agree with Paul, Richard, your blogs are just begging to be published. - Khun Don Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:44:52 +0100 I have done this rail trip twice once in 2005 and 2006. Its one of the best short rail trips i have done and it has a plus on being a rare trip as very few people do it infact on both trips i did not see another farang and all the thai people where just so friendly including the rail staff. Just a note if you want a longer time in maeklong there are train much earlier which could give you a few hours but its a 7am start at wong wein yai in thonburi i have full copy of the timetable in thai at home. - Nick Hiscock Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:45:21 +0100 I've been to Thailand a few times, but never seen that. You've given me another reason go back. Great photos too! - Portraits Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:45:38 +0100 Thank you for a Great Guidetrip and excellent with all the details that most people forget to write down. For instance grab a seat before everybody else does..... I know exactly what you are saying. I live in Bangkok but never heard of this Railway Market in Maeklong, thank's! - Sue Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:57:18 +0100 i've alwiz wanted to go this railway market..thanks for the info!! defitnely will be there wen i,m in bangkok!! - serena Sun, 20 Sep 2009 22:38:04 +0100
