Khaosan Road is pretty much Bangkok's backpacker central, but the prices on Khaosan don't reflect that reality. I overheard a shopowner trying to rip off a Caucasian tourist to the tune of 750 baht for a tee that I saw selling at Pratunam for less than 100 baht. The merchandise here is generally overpriced -- expect to do some hard bargaining to get a really good deal.
There's nothing really worth buying here simply because you can get the same stuff cheaper at Chatuchak. Still, if you're here just for a browse, expect to find fisherman pants, scarves, t-shirts, backpacks, secondhand books, silver accessories...
Perhaps the one thing unique to Khaosan is the hair braiding services that are offered by the roadside. I've yet to try it but tons of tourists do, apparently -- lots of dreadlocked Caucasians on Khaosan!
750B for a tee?
or if you're lucky, 150B. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Khaosan Road.Directions: Take a taxi or tuk tuk -- they'll know the place.

There's a whole row of shops selling musical instruments here. From drums, to classical guitars, to electronic keyboards.
For S'poreans don't bother buying unless you're really good at haggling as the prices are comparitive to the ones at Peninsula Plaza as well as Yamaha.
For foreigners the prices for these guitars range between USD50-500. Leave a Comment Theme: Music

Someone did mention this is backpacker's heaven, hmm, which is quite dissapointed. It is just a neighbourhood area with shops around, whereby pratunam is more lively and more things to see.................
