Samut Songkhram

The Mae Klong River flows through this 417 square kilometer province, connecting numerous canals that support local agriculture and salt production.

The province transformed from a section of Mueang Ratchaburi into an independent territory during the transition between Ayutthaya and Thon Buri periods.

Local merchants maintain the tradition of selling fresh produce, seafood, and handcrafted items directly from wooden boats at the Amphawa and Tha Kha markets.

Visitors can reach multiple floating markets via boat transportation, with Amphawa Market operating in the afternoon and Tha Kha Market in the morning hours.

At Maeklong Railway Market, vendors quickly fold their awnings and move products when trains pass directly through the middle of the marketplace.
