Food traders in Thailand have been filmed dodging trains that pass straight through their busy market.

When the warning siren blares, traders have just three minutes to clear away their stalls and produce.

Then, once the train has rumbled past, it is back to business for the fish and vegetable sellers in Mae Khrong, about 35 miles west of the Thai capital Bangkok. Eight trains pass through every day.

"We have so little time (to move away from the tracks) but all the vendors can make it in time. We are used to it," said fishmonger Pailin Worakum.
