Khao San Road sounds like a place that’s changed a lot to make westerners feel at home. I want to see a different culture.

It has, but so has a lot of Thailand, especially the islands and beaches. (And anyways, Siam Square is arguably even more tailored towards foreigners than Khao San, just the older, more affluent kind.) If you’re coming looking for an unspoiled paradise, you’re about 20 years too late. I got tired of Ko Chang (which really isn’t even all that bad) after a day and left for the Northeast, which is a lot more “Thai” Thailand if that’s what you’re after.
