A short trip to Bangkok... IV

2011.12.30
pixel
This is the famous Maeklong Railway Market. All the stalls and stuffs are placed just by the railway tracks.
pixel
That's the railway tracks right in the middle of the narrow market place.
pixel
Lotsa fresh seafood here as the river is just around the corner.
pixel
Spicy stuffs anyone?
pixel
Assorted dried shrimps.
pixel
Flower garlands for prayers.
pixel
Look at all the fruits placed just beside the railway tracks.
pixel
The train is coming through! The stall owners have already moved up the makeshift stall canopies. Everyone needs to get out of the tracks.
pixel
All set and ready, waiting for the train to pass through.
pixel
Here comes the train! It runs through the market 8 times a day.
pixel
They're so efficient in arranging the goods nicely beneath just enough for the train to pass without damaging the goods. The train just passed right in front of me with only a gap of about a meter from where I stood.
pixel
No squashed up fruits or vegetables!
pixel
There goes the train, the market resumes business as the stall canopies come down again...
