Do you know , WHY ?
You try to imagine a lot of people walk and buy a daily product as vegetable ,fish , squid and fresh seafood and grocery product near a railway area .After they listen Train whistle,they stop shopping and a local merchant will move their products a little bit for avoid the train pass through to Maeklong Station , only waiting for a few minutes they move their product back to the same position . The customer start to shopping and everything come to an ordinary activity again. 
Talad-Rom-Hoob ( ตลาดร่มหุบ ) or the closed canopy Market is a normal local daily market in Samutsongkram ( Or Meaklong ) where a lot of local merchants who supply a daily product , seafood ,seasonings and more.This market located near Mae Klong Railway Station . There are the daily trip from Bangkok ( Wong Wien Yai Railway Station ) to Samut Songkram ( Mea Klong Railway Station ) .This is an important route for a merchant who delivery their product between Bangkok and Samutsongkhram . Most of product are seafood ,and consumer product .
This is the charm of Talad-Rom-hoob ,it happen from the unity of merchant , customer and train driver . Because of a friendly lifestyle of Thai people plus dependence and hospitality together ,so Thai social is offer ,donation , forgive and helping . Only a slowly drive with a careful of a Train Driver and the beware and understand of merchants and customer ,both of them can do their activity in the same place and same time that base on offering and forgive .
