Khaosan Road

Khaosan Road

Khaosan Road, Bangkok's backpackers' hub, is the kind of place that needs to be experienced to be believed—and no traveller should leave the city without coming here. Frequented by swathes of international tourists and locals alike, the area is always bursting with action, but it is at night when Khaosan Road truly comes alive. Here you'll find a rich and diverse selection of bars and nightclubs catering to all kinds of travellers. Khaosan Road is also an excellent place to try local flavours. Sample from the famous pad Thai to deep-fried spring rolls, grilled meat skewers, mango sticky rice, fried roti, and coconut ice cream to barbecued crocodiles and fried and crispy bugs, like grasshoppers, cockroaches, and scorpions. Feeling like spending some bahts? There are also plenty of shopping opportunities here: clothing and accessories, traditional handicrafts, handmade jewellery, and vintage goods. And why not finish your night at Khaosan Road with a relaxing Thai massage?
