Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

The Maeklong Railway Market

Welcome to the Mae Klong railway market in small town Thailand. The town of Mae Klong is about 72 kilometers, or a casual 1 drive, south west of Bangkok.
Eight times a day, the shopkeepers have to interrupt their business, quickly pull down the roofs of their shops, drag their goods inside, then stand against their shop fronts breathing in — to let a train go through. That’s right, a train. A big, steel, commuter train traveling quite fast, straight through the middle of the mall.
