Watch a Train Go Through Thailand’s Most Dangerous Market - Maeklong Railroad Market

In Samet Songkhram, about an hour outside of Bangkok, is Maeklong Railway Market (Talet Rom Hup). The market is one of the largest produce and seafood in Thailand. In addition to fresh seafood and fruit the market is infamous for one small thing- a train runs right through it! In 1995 the Maeklong Railway built a commuter railroad line right through the middle of a very popular market. Instead of moving the vendors just adapted to the situation and new conditions. They modified the market stalls and work around a train that passes through eight times a day, seven days a week. Enjoy the video!
