Vendors hastily put their awnings up for an arriving train

            Video: Vendors hastily put their awnings up for an arriving train- surprise, surprise! I have been waiting all this while at the Maeklong train station and have now come into the market proper, waiting for the train to arrive. At that time, it didn't strike me even for a second that the train has to arrive first! Yes, that would be a double bonus. I decided to simply watch the train coming in- maybe taking a shot or two- and do detailed filming as it goes back out after it's mandatory twenty minutes halt. So back to the vendors, here they are, hastily putting up their awnings for the incoming train.  Visitors to the Maeklong Railway Market walk along the train lines, but although the train moves through the market slowly, it can be dangerous if tourists are on the railway lines. There are volunteers urging you to keep away from the tracks, and boy was I glad the herd of Chinese were not around any more!
