Bangkok train and marketplace

This bizarre video was found on YouTube. Check out what happens right after the train passes through this Bangkok city street.

What a display of people adapting to their circumstances. I mean, it's pretty bad to have live in a dirty shanty town Bangkok street and have a train drive through your back yard. Having the werewithall to use that same train track as your marketplace at other times is brilliant. It's like a little coordinated dance too, fitting a Bollywood film. Thailand's a strange country.

Thanks to Upgrade: Travel Better for finding this gem!
