The Mae Klong Railway Market is located about 80 kilometers southwest of the city center of Bangkok. This market is not your ordinary market: a fully operational railway track runs right through its heart.
Vendors hastily retract their awnings and merchandise as a loud horn signals the arrival of a train. Within moments, the train drives through the market, seemingly inches away from the stalls. Once it passes, life returns to normal, and the market buzzes with activity again.
