World's Most Dangerous Market Place

The Maeklong Railway Market, located in Samut Songkhram,Thailand is a phenomenal place where the railroad train goes straight through an active market. Here the traders will go about doing their business next to a railway line. The market is popular with locals who want fresh produce at an affordable price. Traders have learnt to adapt to the trains and they have adapted some clever improvisation to their make-shift stalls.

Eight times a day, seven days a week, a train passes through the market and venders have to quickly remove their stalls and wares – mostly fish, vegetables and other food items - to make way for the train! And, of course, shoppers have to be quick on the feet, too. As soon as the train passes through, the venders set up their stalls and wares, and customers return and business resumes.
