Type of destination: Street/Marketplace
Khao San Road is a famous street located in the Phra Nakhon district of Bangkok, Thailand. It is known as the gateway to Southeast Asia for backpackers and budget travelers from around the world. The road is approximately 400 meters long and is packed with a vibrant mix of cheap guesthouses, mid-range hotels, bars, clubs, restaurants, and street food vendors. Traveler essentials such as internet cafes, massage parlors, travel agents, bookshops, and market stalls can also be found here. Khao San Road truly comes alive at night, when the neon lights flicker on and the street becomes a bustling hub of activity, with music blaring from the bars and the aroma of street food filling the air. It's well-known for its laid-back atmosphere and is a cultural melting pot where east meets west. Over the years, Khao San Road has transformed from a quiet residential street to a must-visit tourist destination made famous by the book and film 'The Beach'. Despite the increasing commercialization, it still retains its charm and continues to offer an authentic Thai urban adventure.
