Maeklong Market

Nither the famous Maeklong Market, in Bangkok, is oldest not does it sell
any unique products. The USP of this p;aces is that it has train running
through it 8 times a day, and that makes it unique. Because Thailand has
no laws requiring markets be moved, if a railroad is built in the area,
Maeklong Market remained in place even after trains began passing through
it. Vendors simply remove their awnings, and shoppers step off of the
track that serves as a walkway, long enough for the train to pass, and
then it’s business as usual, as if nothing happened. For locals it’s just
routine, but to foreigners it’s one bizarre display.
