Thailand's Railway Market

Many places have markets or shops located near train stations, but the one in Samut Songkhram, Thailand is unique. The shops are literaly located on the train tracks. Eight times a day trains come to the station and each time the shopkeepers must pull up their awnings and move the sale items to let the train pass. Then they quickly set up shop again.

This is truely amazing to witness. As you watch the video: you will see that some goods are underneath the train as it passes and how quickly the awnings go back down after the train passes.
