In contrast to the public market, the location of Maeklong Market is located on both sides of the railroad tracks which are still actively used for rail traffic. A semi-permanent building that functions as a merchant's stall was built to cover the middle of the railroad tracks.
If there is an alarm or a sign that the train is about to pass, then all traders will immediately remove the tarpaulin tents and their goods and temporarily stop trading. Buyers should be careful shopping in this market, because if not, then they will be hit by a train.

The Voodoo Fetish Market is often referred to as the largest magic market in the world. Some examples of voodoo equipment sold include witchcraft dolls, skulls, and body parts of many animals, such as horns, elephant feet, lion heads, and the hearts of other animals. These items are indeed impossible to consume.
However, this commodity is often used as a raw material for traditional medicine. Potions made from animal carcasses are known to be very effective, even local shamans use animal carcasses to heal people who come to them.
