Maeklong Railway in Samut Songkhram, Thailand
This 42-mile journey travels from Bangkok to Maeklong, and has recently become a popular tourist destination. The reason this train is so unique is that it runs through the Maeklong Market 8 times every day, during which time vendors pull back their stands and wait as the train narrowly misses taking out all of their produce for sale.
