This fantastic Bahasa Malaysia amateur video (with English subtitles) shows what it’s like to travel by train through Thailand. The first segment focusses on Mae Klong Train Market which is literally on the train tracks of the station. I hear Southeast Asia calling again. Segment 1 (4:06 min)

that was crazy how the train came right through the market… the train passes and things quickly return to normal! nice musical selections in the background too.
It’s amazing how smooth and easy things happen when the train passes by… It’s as if it’s no big thing at all.
wow, i’ve never seen anything like that market on the tracks…I first thought the market might be for the train passengers…
Nice video! But the voice doesnt sound like Thai…what language is it?
Huh, I thought it was in Thai. Whoever knows the language, please let us know…. At first I thought the tracks are not used any more…
The language is Indonesian or Malay. Both languages are very similar but you can easily tell one from the other by the way ‘r’ is pronounced. Like the Americans, Indonesians roll their ‘r’.
I have never seen a train market either. I wonder how many times the train passes through here. You gotta love SE Asia for such quirks! :)
Alright! thanks for clearing up the mystery, Chaun…
It is in Asia that tries to maximize every little thing, something that we can all learn from.
I might add that this is in Bahasa Malaysia, not Bahasa Indonesia. Bahasa means language.
