Khao San Road

This area of Bangkok is known as the "backpacker district" and it is packed with hotels, food stalls, clothes shops, and tourists from all over the world. Khao San Road is a welcome respite and you are sure to have a memorable time here.

When you're here, you'll need to have some patience since even if it's vibrant and exciting in its own right, the crowds, scents, and loud music can overwhelm even the most composed spirit. Having said that, Khao San Road is also a great spot to browse the treasures in a used bookstore, dive into some delicious Indian food from a local restaurant, and pick up a few pairs of baggy fisherman pants, an essential part of every traveler's wardrobe when trekking through Thailand.
