We're heading off bright and early this morning we're going to
an outdoor market it's quite a distance from here probably about an hour
or so from the city centre
take a look at all the traffic heading in to work on this early morning got
to watch your footing in Bangkok
this is the Sky Train we're going to take wongwein yai
I hope I pronounced it right otherwise we'll be going somewhere else
so here we are
about to catch the skytrain
and it's hot already in Bangkok about seven
thirty in the morning
so we got to the station wait for the train to go it's going to be about 20 minutes or so
We are hot and bothered
hot and bothered in Bangkok
but we've got these beautiful fans blowing on us
you can see on the ceiling here If you pay second class
actually the whole train seems to be second class, you're going to get a
fan on the ceiling, a room with a view
and a cafe at every stop
So we are now on the air conditioned minibus to Maeklong the whole journeys
taken a bit longer than we thought it was going to take but we live and learn in
Thailand
so
we're in Maeklong heading towards the train market and
mid day probably not the best time to arrive. So we're going to get two iced
coffees
from this guy. look at this wonderful little coffee set up he's got here
so he's putting in condensed sweet milk now, in goes the carnation milk
Nice big tall cups which I think he's going to fill with
ice
That's a beautiful coffee it's a warm day lovely iced coffee, you can't beat it, look at this market
so thats just to keep the flies away
from the dried fish
sawasdee krab
So this market here
has got a train track running through it
can you believe that in
20 minutes or so a train is going to come through this market spot
and they're going to be lifting all this literally where I'm walking now
there's a train track and you can barely get under the roof
So this here is the very end of the Maeklong
train market and you come out onto a road
you've got this narrow gauge train track here
hard to believe that a train comes across here and goes
straight through the middle of that market
So that was our trip out to Maeklong market fantastic experience you have a look at
this old car here
isn't that just amazing what a great trip if you are in Bangkok or Thailand you
really must take the time and effort to go to Maeklong
it is wonderful so everybody out there I hope you are having a great day
take care give this one a thumbs-up share the love and I'll see you in the next
video
be good
