This is your drinking and partying street in Bangkok. It's really cheap, and you can buy beer on the street (illegally) or buy it legally in 7-11 till 2 am. After 2 am you can buy big bottles of Singha from buys with ice coolers. It's funny they flip down the ice cooler tops if they see the cops coming.... more

This was our last market shopping in Thailand and we had already experienced the Sunday Markets in Chiang Mai, Second Street in Pattaya, MBK and some other small markets we stumbled across. We had heard so much about the famous Khao San Road. Well we were very disappointed. Most of the goods we had seen before and paid nearly half... more

It’s nothing special but a quick stroll down might be ok just to see it. But then I would rather be somewhere else! If you travel halfway around the world to see a load of drunken westerners it might be ideal for you. For first-time tourists to Thailand or longer-term backpackers that don't know much about Bangkok or Thai culture... more

Khao San Road is a famous backpacker street in Bangkok. The street at night is filled with tourists from the West and as well as Japanese. We went there for a quick drink as well as night market shopping. The selection of stalls here is more quite different from the normal markets as they tend to be more backpackers friendly... more

If you want to stay near Khao san road but don't like the noise, I've discovered a peaceful alternative. It's a new guesthouse (opened June 2006) on Tannee Road ( a couple of streets away from Khao san.) It has lovely rooms with aircon and satellite tv, an internet cafe with the best espresso I found in Bangkok.! There's a... more
