What is Khao San Road in Bangkok?

Pompous Rhombus, Oct 22, 2007

In Bangkok there’s Khao San, which is the established tourist ghetto. Lots of cheap accommodation, bars, stores, street vendors, etc. It’s a bit of a zoo, but it has a lot of conveniences and is your best bet if you’re on a budget. You can find something reasonably nice elsewhere in the city for 500-600 baht a night, but I don’t really have any specific recommendations.
