The many roads, alleyways and highways of Bangkok make the city an easy one to get around in and provide a number of arresting journeys along the way. For travelers in Thailand more keen on making such routes part of their travel plans, Khao San Road is a perfect place to enjoy the journey.
Old buildings and temples line the street, although many are now used for more modern purposes like tattoo parlors and new restaurants. The diversity of uses is only complemented by the street's melting pot of residents: from Mons to Buddhists to Muslims, the street's number of foreigners create a unique mix that few other spots in Thailand can quite encapsulate.
Lively during the day, Khao San Road is all hustle and bustle during the night, where entertainment options and jamming tunes can be heard throughout the area. Many shops stay open during the night as well, so even the more leisurely of late sleepers can still see a variety of the street's many offerings.
