MahachaiRailLine

Mar. 24, 2009 -- A vendor finishes her breakfast in the market in Samut Sangkhram. The market is the end of the Mahachai Rail line and is built right on the tracks. When the train comes through, vendors fold up their stalls and move them off the rails only to open them again after the train passes. The Mahachai Rail Line is a commuter line that runs from the Wong Wian Yai train station in the Thonburi section of Bangkok to the fishing port and market town of Samut Sakhon, which used to be known as Mahachai. An extension of the line runs from Baan Laem, near Samut Sakhon, to Samut Songkhram, another fishing port south of Samut Sakhon. Each stretch of the line takes about an hour. Photo by Jack Kurtz
