Land of Smiles & Tom Yum soup

Bangkok is the largest city and capital of Thailand. It has also one of the busiest roads in South East Asia. The country, where a large number of the people embrace Buddhism, has recent;y gone through quite a bit of political upheaval.

Though with all these strife, the people in the land of a million smiles still continue with their normal lives as it's suppose to be - with a smile.

Maeklong Train Track Market

People in Thailand are adept to make do with what they have been given and interestingly, one of the place that I wiould like to visit is the Maeklong Train Track Market.

Everyday, the train will go past the market and the stallholders will then promptly pull back their wares and shelters that cover the ailway track. The train will then chug along and once it has passed the market, the stallholders will then move everything back in place once again. Here's a video of how it looks like.
