| Khaosan Road |
Khaosan Road is the main backpacker’s area in Bangkok, Thailand.
It’s filled with budget accommodations, travel agencies, restaurants,
bars, pubs, clubs, and an abundance of food and clothing vendors.
It’s a great place to meet people from all over the world and share
stories of travels as well as make friends to travel with! Khaosan
Road is more active in the evening when food stalls and bucket stands
set up on the street, also there is much more shopping to do in the
evening rather than during noon.It’s filled with budget accommodations, travel agencies, restaurants,

Accommodations start at 150b per night and vary pending on what each guesthouse offers and its location. For a somewhat quieter stay, I suggest travellers stay on Soi Rambutri which runs parallel to Khaosan Road. To get to Rambutri just walk down Khaosan towards the police station, and turn right at the end of the street, cross the street then walk till you hit the next street corner and you will see Bank of Ayutthaya, this is Soi Rambutri.
Both Khaosan and Rambutri offer an extensive selection of food for world travellers, the cheapest option is eating Thai food sold at street stalls for example pad thai for about 30baht, however there are many places serving western, Indian, vegetarian, vegan dishes for
around 100baht or so. Make sure you try mango-sticky rice if you’re on khaosan road, it’s delicious and probably the cheapest you’ll see it.

Bars, pubs, and nightclubs scatter along each side of khaosan road, making it busy and entertaining during the night. You must be of at
least 20 years of age to enter a nightclub on Khaosan Road and generally a passport or government issued photo i.d. is needed to
enter. For Thai beers you can expect to pay up to 120b for a beer at a pub, bar, or club or a little less at a restaurant... and save a
bundle by drinking alcoholic beverages sold at 7-11 or Family Mart (alcohol stops selling at midnight).

Most travellers come to Khaosan with the intention of travelling somewhere else from there. There are many many many travel agencies and tour companies set up all over khaosan road or nearby! To save yourself some money I suggest going to a few places to inquire about prices before putting any money down! This can save you a few hundred baht!!

ready to rip out your own hair if you buy your ticket on Khaosan road. I’ve gone the khaosan road route once and promised myself not
to do it ever again. Since, I’ve been to Cambodia 3 times, all much less stressful than the first trip, and much cheaper.
