Khaosan Road

Khaosan Road in Bangkok is renowned among backpackers and budget travelers the world over, and is well worth a visit. Expect to be swept off your feet by the hustle and bustle of activity that seems never ending, the street full of clothes, souvenirs and handicrafts. Towards the north of Khaosan is Banglamphu Market which is a brilliant place to haggle and purchase all manner of items. If you’re hungry, the street is lined with stalls selling Pad Thai, roti and the not so Thai falafel and chicken shawarmas. Test your taste buds on fried bugs, mulberry worms, and scorpions! When night falls Khaosan manages to up the ante even more with clubs, pubs, and bars with live bands and DJs.
