Life on the tracks at a Thai railway bazaar

Vegetable market vendors pull back awnings and their produce off a railway track to allow a cross-country train to dissect through the middle of the town of Maeklong, in Samut Songkhram province, 37 miles west of Bangkok on August 16, 2012.

The bustling market, in the middle of the town, has to scramble from the tracks eight times a day as trains pass.

Speed of train is... 5 MPH? Perhaps even slower, so scramble away Thailanders.
