The Market - Bangkok Style

Vimeo - Bangkok’s Maeklong Market has been in existence for decades. It remained
relatively undisturbed until the later creation of the Maeklong Railway
and, contrary to what you might see in the United States and in other
parts of the world, there was no eminent domain law forcing market
vendors to move.


The result? Every single day the Maeklong Railway line passes through
Maeklong – 8 times a day, 7 days per week. The train literally runs
directly through the middle of the market, forcing vendors to pull back
their awnings and wares while shoppers find a place to step off of the
track that serves as their only walkway.

 



This could be the most intense markest in the world. One slip up and your ass is getting flattened on the train tracks and served up in one of these bastards meat trays. I wouldn't wanna know what those vegetables look and taste like that are sitting out right under the train. They must have an outer layer of grease and rust on them that tastes like pure shit. None the less I would like to wander around this market one day and see what it's all about.
