A market on railway track

You may have seen a video on Facebook about a train getting through a local market in Thailand. It was a wonderful trip to Maeklong Railway Market, the market is called ‘life-risking’ market because its stalls are attached to the railway, vendors at the market put out parasols or canvas to protect themselves against the sun, the shelters stick into the railway where visitors walk and do their shopping(there are selling food, fruits, meats, vegetables & souvenirs, crowded usually when tourism opens), when each signal of the arriving train rings, chaos happens....vendors will rush to close their parasols and canvas, along with clearing all goods that will obstruct the coming train at a great speed, once the train passes, parasols and canvas will be reopened as goods are again put into their usual place next to the rail track. #staycation #summervacation
