A Strange Wonder of Thailand

The Maeklong market railway passes right through the middle of a tightly packed market – so tight, that passengers can probably grab a few vegetables as they pass through. The market’s stalls are actually set up on the train rails, but shopkeepers know the train’s schedule, so just before it passes through, they quickly drag their goods into the shops and pull the roofs down. After the train has passed through, it’s back to business as usual. This happens no less than 8 times a day.

I had heard about this but never actually got to see or experience it, it would have been an interesting one though ! just goes to show how difficult life is for some people, but with all that they look quite cheerful, thai are very pleasant and cordial people...
