Video: Train Cuts Through Crowded Bangkok Market


This video is classic. And by "classic" I mean "awesome." So why didn't he just say awesome? you may be wondering. Because it's classic too! As in Citizen Kane classic. The method acting, use of deep focus, low-angle shots -- it has everything!

Anyway, somewhere in Bangkok, there is a market with a commuter line train running through it. The beginning of the shot seems normal enough for any major Asian city, but it's what happens at the end to really set it a part. I wonder how many times the train comes through per day? Insane.

Now, savvy Gadling readers... dig up some more info on this market! Is it really in Bangkok? What's the story behind it? [via]

Update: Gadling blogger Jamie digs up some details on this strange Thai train.
