Was there in April and it's really cool. The train only comes about 3 or 4 times a day and the vendors have their stalls on wheels and awnings foldable to get them out of the way when the train comes. Also, this is about an hour away from downtown Bangkok so it's more of a small town than what you are probably imagining. There are tons of vendors selling nearly everything you can think of. The food does not get squashed, the vendors carefully place it where the train will not touch it. If you're grossed out by that then you probably should just avoid SE Asia.

Agreed. People who go "yuck" from a train passing over food in Thailand should not search for "sewer oil" as China will be off their menu.

Which is why I would avoid most food in this part of the world. No thanks.

They should also probably not research how their food is made in general...
