A travel blogger who was criticised for posting a photo walking on train tracks in front of a moving train in Thailand has apologised for “promoting danger” on her Instagram.
Patricia, who runs the Instagram page One Ocean Away, posted a photo walking on rail tracks at the famous Maeklong Railway Market in Bangkok with her face turned towards an oncoming train.
The market is known for having a train pass directly through its centre – and the way in which traders quickly pack up their stalls each time the locomotive approaches has become somewhat of a tourist attraction in itself.
As reported by The Sun, after posting the daring photo to her 30,000-plus followers, Patricia was bombarded with comments calling the image “irresponsible” and “inappropriate”.

Should have done it when it'd gone past, the photo wouldn't show if it's heading towards her or away from her...
That would take a modicum of intelligence and thoughtfulness, though...
I was going to say "I don't think she's necessarily unintelligent" but then, she did pose for a photo in front of a moving train haha
This would have still been an amazing photo as well!
