Look at the article: http://migrationology.com/2011/05/maeklong-train-market-thailand/

The Maeklong Train Market (ตลาดแม่กลอง) is an incredible market to visit with a train that passes through 4 times a day. Market dwellers are forced to avoid collision by mere inches fromt the dangerous train that passes through.

  • I hope that train doesn't have any toilets.

  • @fspilot221 Hah! Toilets normally go straight down...I think it did have a toilet....

  • What "alarm"?

    Is it not simply the train horn at a distance which alerts everyone? Or is there a nearby railroad crossing signal which they hear?

    Does anything ever get caught and dragged?

    That could cascade and cause many more things to get dragged andestroyed.

    I would have placed the camerat rail height to show the clearance. The blur passing by was of little value.

    Well done interesting video! Thank you.

  • @robertgift Hey Thanks Robert!

    People actually set their own alarm clocks, because in the afternoon the market is not busy, so vendors just lounge around. About 5 - 10 minutes before the train came, I heard some random alarm clocks going off around the market and everyone became alert together.

    I talked to a guy who said stuff does get dragged occasionally and he has witnessed some deaths.

    It's a great place to visit if you have a chance!
