BANGKOK, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- Pack your stuff when the train arrives. A bizarre coexistence of vendors and commuter trains is seen in the Maeklong Railway Market built along a railway track in Thailand.
When the signal of arriving train rings, stall owners will rush to clear all the goods that will obstruct the coming train.
Nowadays, the number of trains that shuttle in this tourist hotspot every day has been reduced from eight to two amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The nearby vendors are still holding on, waiting for the market to resume its former hustle and bustle.
