A TRAVEL blogger has been slammed online after she posted a photo on Instagram – of her standing in front of a moving train.

 

Patricia Alejos Monzon, who has more than 30,000 followers on the social media site, has been criticised online after she uploaded the “dangerous” snap.

 

It shows the influencer, who has lived in Spain, Sweden, Australia and Germany, standing on rail tracks with her face turned towards the oncoming train.

 

The picture was taken at the famous Maeklong Railway Market, in Thailand, which is known for having the train pass directly through the market.

The train goes quite slowly..she had plenty of time to get out of its way.

Not only does it go slowly, but it also comes to a complete stop at more or less that point as it's the end of the line.

So once again we have a bunch of keyboard SJWs making a big deal out of something they know nothing about.

it is far more dangerous walking on the streets as the drivers here seem happy to run into pedestrians. Worst part is the sidewalks are so cluttered with stalls, signage, phone booths that don't work, open drains to fall into, cracked tiles to twist you ankle or only spray water of some rotten chicken juice on your leg, that we are forced to walk on the streets.

It's none of anybodies business what risk she feels like taking anyway.

She faced greater risks just getting to the location probably.

Jeez that thing goes at a crawl,and she is a way away,storm in a teacup.

[Tarteso]

The risk is on these roads.

 

Nice pic !

Don't suppose she was 'influencing ' on a certain bridge one balmy evening recently? ????

Someone who has lots of followers and "likes", a trendsetter.

Oh thank you, Ulic.  Selfies with the head tilted sideways with over-exaggerated pouts, wears the latest Primark clothes and doesn't have a real job?

No more at risk that anyone living in the neighborhood where the tracks are your front door step.

They aren't called Bloggers anymore mate. Influencers are people, celebrities or regular people, usually good looking ones who have lots of followers on Social pages. They say something is good or hold a product in a shot and they get paid, sometimes a lot of money depending on the amount of people following.  I personally have no influence over anyone and have very few followers ????

Thats right , maybe they didn't even look at the picture , you can also see the food vendors placed their stuff next to the rail. 

 

People complaining must be internet trolls or just stupid idiots .

What's the term for someone who spreads s#*t on the internet?

[Stargeezr]

The rail line ends about 20 meters behind where the photographer was standing.

People should go to the site and see this for themselves..

Geezer
