A look around the famous Thai market that's built on a train line - and traders have to pack up their goods every time a locomotive passes by.

The Maeklong Railway Market in Bangkok has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city.

As well as the market traders selling fresh fruit and vegetables every day, thousands of tourists now visit the area to see the unusual scenes.

Traders have to roll up their stall roofs when a train arrives then unfurl them once it has passed.

Several trains arrive and leave throughout the day, making for fascinating scenes that draws in tourists from around the world.

But some selfie seekers have even taken to dangerously standing on the track and posing in front of approaching trains.
