Khao San Road - The popular book 'The Beach' famously described
Khao San Road as "the centre of the backpacking universe".
Judging by the truth-seeking travellers who converge here it's a
phrase that sums it up pretty much perfectly. On Khao San itself
and the streets either side, you can shop, exchange tales and
prepare for you next stint on the backpacker trail. Packed
into a 1 km-long strip are countless budget guesthouses and
mid-range hotels, internet cafes, bars, restaurants, massage
parlours, travel agents, bookshops, market stalls, tattoo shops
and much, much more. So much, in fact, that the people, peddlers
and party spirit have spilled over into nearby Soi Rambuttri.
With its carefree, anything-goes vibe, it's quite unlike
anywhere else in Bangkok. Khao San has an infectious atmosphere.
It's also popular with locals, especially young hipsters and art
students. |
