This marketplace in Bangkok shares space with a commuter train. This illustrates how crowded the city is. Push play or go to Break.com. -via the Presurfer

    I may have been on that exact track in Bangkok in 2005, was wondering why everyone was so close to the train as we went past.

    This is an awesome video! I was also in Bangkok in 2005 and was expecting a super crowded city, but it's so sprawled out that many areas are not very congested at all. We actually had a wonderful time there!

    How dumb, the city needs to expand, then!

    space optimization without the costs of a subway.

    I think this market is in one of the poorer sections of the central area. Rob is correct, Bangkok is a city that encompass a large area. However, once you get in to the downtown area, or have to drive by it your going to encounter some truly horrific traffic. Not to say that it is total grid lock but unless your used to the driving habits of the citizens you would almost wish that everyone would stop moving just so you would feel safer.
