Viral video: Internet left stunned by market set on railway tracks in Thailand

We have often seen people going to markets in public places to buy vegetables, fruits, flowers, and other necessary items. While such markets are usually located in wide open spaces, there is a market in Thailand’s Samut Songkhram province which is situated on the railway track. The market which is usually crowded by people, especially tourists, is the Maeklong Railway Market. Also known as the ‘Hoop Rom Market’, it is one of the amazing tourist attractions in the province. Vendors who carve out a living along this 100-metre stretch of railway track can be seen selling almost everything from fresh produce to clothes, souvenirs, and even live turtles.

A video of the famous market has been shared on Twitter by Erik Solheim which gives a glimpse of the busy area as a train passes through. We can see several vendors sitting in sequence with their stalls laid out in a single line.
