Trip heading to Mae Klong Railway Market from Bangkok 5 of 5

 Schedule:5 

From Mae Klong to Wongwian Yai.

Well then, this is the last journey.
I will return to Bangkok by train.

  from Mae Klong to Ban Laem     

Seats from Mae Klong station train were full.
Most of them were occupied by tourists.
However, that state was until the next station.
Almost all tourists got off, and the seat of the train became almost vacant.

It was crowded with tourists in the station and in the train.

After many tourists got off got breathed a sigh of relief.

Arrived at Ban Laem Station.

  from Mahachai to Wongwian Yai 

This trip will be over in about one hour later.
I don’t want to go, but I have to.

Tourists were few at this station.
And the inside of the train was relatively vacant.

I was slightly hit by the urge I wanted to get off.

Arrived at Wongwian Yai Station.

Someday, I would like to come back on this line again.

The End.

 Schedule:4 

Walking around the market and the station area.

Arrived at the destination of the trip.
I will make a round-trip from the entrance at the railway crossing to the end of the market.

  Walking from the station side   

Entered to walk the railway market from the railway crossing in front of the station.

Railway is turning into a passage.

Walked to the edge of this market.

  Return way to the station    

I turned the way from the edge and walked slowly to watch the market.
For a while, fancy shops such as cafe's line up.

From here the market stores are lining up.

The location of the merchandise display is too close to the track.

I wonder if these items can be cleaned up every time the train passes.

Came back to the railway crossing in front of the station.

  Bus terminal near Mae Klong Station   

Because I had plenty of time to spare.
I decided to take a walk around the station.
So I found a bus terminal.

I infiltrated the facility.

The representation of the ticket office was only in Thai language.
I could not understand it at all.

I found only one English desk.
There was a bus from here heading for Bangkok city.

If you miss the last train, you can return to Bangkok from here.

To be continued.
