Khao San Road
A good place to be! and meet people from all over the world!! A great nightlife, a small bazaar and a lot of tourist office. If you like to see and more travellers like you then Khao San Road is the right place. If you like to see Thai people Khao San is not the right place.

Have I mentioned that I don't care how touristy it is, I still love Khao San Road!!? You just never know what you are going to see there.
When I took my sister to Thailand, we happened to be at Khao San during shooting of a Bollywood movie, starring Amitabh Bachan! It was awesome to watch - and invade. They kept asking us to move - very politely of course! - can't see why! "You are in the frame" ...... "yeah, that's the idea!..."
The street was tranformed from Thai and tourist occupied to Indian actors, crew and onlookers. Action and gorgeous men everywhere. Why would you want to be anywhere else!?

Long before the movie of Leonardo DiCaprio (The Beach) was partly shot in this street, Khaosan Road is already a famous landmark in the Banglamphoo area of Bangkok. It's maybe the first thing that would come up on any backpackers' mind about Bangkok. Tavelers on a budget would definitely choose to spend either their first night or the whole time they are in this city here in Khaosan Road. Cheapest accommodations can be found here, although lately there sprung a lot of mid-range hotels that offers comfort in comparable to star-rated hotels in other areas of the city.
You can find the cheapest food along the street in US$ cents - street noodles at US$0.12, fresh local orange juice in plastic bottles at US$0.12 to 0.24, chicken or beef BBQ at US$0.50. The backpackers "uniform" shirts and travel gears are all here, all those counterfeit stuff, clothings, headcaps, silverwares, syndicated CDs, travel agents for air, train & bus tickets and package tours... and YES.... hair-braiding, body piercing and tatoos .... along the street!
The market scene of Khaosan during the daytime is transformed to street bars at night.
Khaosan is like a small municipality in itself for backpackers around the world.

At night lots of "minibars" open on the street where you can buckets full of Thai whiskey, coke and whatever.
But Khao Road has changed quite a lot over the years, these days you find American coffee shops and fast food outlets here aswell a some mid-range hotels. Leave a Comment

It is totally not funny for a single woman traveller from mainland China as the stuff I see on this street is totally something I had never experienced in my country, so many people with tatoos, pierces and dyed color made me wondered what I should do here and how I could survive from it (as I was the only one from mainland China on this street on that day). For seeing this road somehow was stunning and shocking to me (it could because i had never seen so many foreigners in my entire life before).
Will I get lost in this so-called paradise? Leave a Comment Directions: I took the shuttle bus from the airport. Quite cheap - was only 20Bh(USD0.5). Took an hour to get here.

 Khao San Road at Night by Myndo
The Road used to be a secret tip for the Backpacker community, but got a tourist destination by itself in the last years.
After 5 p.m. the road is closed for traffic and becomes a pedestrian mile.
There are many guest houses, hotels etc here or close by. The location makes it a good starting point into Bangkoks Old Town. In walking distance from the Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, the Khlongs. Leave a Comment
