Bangkok Thailand, Day 3 - Maeklong Railway Market

Continuation of my long overdue BKK trip post...

We took a van from BKK to Maeklong which is about 2 hours away from the city.

This place is famous among tourists as the only railway market that is still operating in the country.

 We were there to 'catch' the 11am train. The train schedule is displayed on board at the station counter

 While waiting for the train to arrive, we walked along the railway track to look see around the market

Nothing fancy. It is just some common market that sells veggies & groceries, like our morning market

 Then we quickly find a good spot to 'catch' the 'slowest moving train' in action

 there were already lotsa 'tourist like us' standing aside to get the best view of the train approaching the market. A few tourism officers were on standby to guard and ensure that people avoid standing or walking on the railway track. Well, 'mishap' do happen in crowded place, and we don't want to see any bloody scene...

 Train approaching, suddenly everyone was busy taking pictures/video with whatever camera and phone cam they have on hand...as if they have never seen a train before~~~

 the train docked at the station...and will depart again half an hour later.

here's one photo for remembrance...*the fella below is not me
Such a creative mural. Nowadays seems like many places have wall art to attract tourists!
