something amusing. [ame="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=18452199"]MySpaceTV: Train Drives Through Bangkok Market by not rick [/ame]
When the video first started, I assumed we were looking out the back of some tents/stalls - with the businesses open on the sides opposite the tracks. Then after the train went by - out pop all these tables, and the canopies are opened...! Wow...! I guess the train runs on a pretty predictable schedule? Andrew
Nah, I guess the RR accepts this as a regular thing and the engineers start blowing for a minute or more to give the vendors time to un-rig......SRT-FAN, any words?
That is simply insane. I never even HEARD of something like that before. I have to admit was amazed as the train went through but then I was STUNNED after it went by. wow
I've seen that video clip and would like to inform that the the market in the video is *not* in Bangkok. It is a market in Samut Sakorn province. SRT has no electrified territory AFAIK.
I'm sorry, the Google earth couldn't resolve the area I'd like to show you. Please see this link for some more info about Samut Sakhon province. http://www.tourismthailand.org/destinationguide/list.aspx?provinceid=59
