Aug 12, 2009: Farmer's Market

Farmer's markets are wonderful. All those fruits, veggies, and sometimes flowers, honey or dairy, fresh from the farm.

This one is in Thailand, Samut Songkhram province, but can you spot a difference?



Railroad tracks right down the middle make a good defined path for shoppers...
and the eight express trains a day that use these tracks.

Quote:
Every day in the Thai province of Samut Songkhram, about 70 km southwest of Bangkok, a unique market is held whose vendors need feet as quick as their minds. Why? Because much of the market is located directly on a set of operational railway tracks. Eight times daily, a train runs through without care for stopping, sending vendors and visitors to action stations before business as usual resumes.
That must keep everybody on their toes... or lose them.
