Khao San Road
Khao San Road is, technically speaking, a small road located about a block from the Chao Phraya River. In former times the street was a major Bangkok rice market. In the last 20 years Khaosan Road has become a world famous backpackers hangout.
It offers cheap accommodation, ranging from dorm style hostels to reasonably priced 3-star hotels as well as bars, food stalls, restaurants, convenience stores, internet cafes and travel agencies.
