  This morning we wake early to visit the Royal Palaces of Bangkok which we have passed so many times in the previous days. We follow this with a visit to Bangkok’s Mae Klong train market. What makes this market so special is that all the market stalls operate along a narrow train track. Each time a train passes, it blows its horn in warning and within seconds the stall holders pack away their goods. As soon as the train passes within seconds everything is back to normal as if nothing even happened. It is a sight to behold.
