Khao San Road is full of restaurants, pubs, and bars. This street is a great place for hanging out with friends and family. For hanging out with friends, I suggest you go to Rococo Bar since it has a bunch of drinks, music, and a nice view. For hanging out with family, I would recommend Buddy Beer Wine Bar and Seafood. The environment there is friendly, and the food is great. Both establishments have high prices because they cater to tourists and foreigners. In addition, Khao San Road in the daytime is fascinating too; it is like walking in Mexico because of the decoration of many places there.

In addition, Khao San Road in the daytime is fascinating too; it is like walking in Mexico because of the decoration of many places there. And it's a lively sight to see at night. It is full of energetic sounds from people screaming and blasting music. I would strongly advise everyone to visit once in a lifetime.

It's another one of those "it's good only because it's so bad" kind of situations here in Bangkok. If you're a tourist, you may want to drop by just once; make sure you do it past midnight on a weekend to immerse yourself entirely. Also, do make sure you watch your belongings, as the stretch can feel quite messy. From the time I alighted from my cab, I felt the multi-sensory experience while walking down the street. A fine mixture of push cart hawker stalls selling all sort of exotic items, to bars and clubs pushing you to get a table with balloons in their mouths, and an extremely wide variety of personalities across all age, backgrounds, and genders. The highlight for me was the folks climbing at the back of the police truck that is traveling down the crowded street, as if hitching a ride. I honestly cannot see myself coming back here at all...

Loads of tourists, and I mean, like, loads! The place was packed to with people from all over the world, and you could barely move without bumping into someone. The energy, the hustle, and bustle, and the vibrant atmosphere made it different. The market was bursting with street vendors selling all sorts of stuff, from souvenirs to clothes and, of course, delicious street food. I tried some Pad Thai from one of the stalls, and it was legit! Also tried some seafood there. It was quite cheap too. One thing I gotta say, though, if you're not a fan of crowds or touristy spots, this might not be your jam. It's definitely not the place for a chill and quiet evening, that's for sure. If you're up for some adventure, want to soak in the vibrant chaos, and experience the essence of Bangkok's street life, then Khao San Night Market is the place to be.

Khao San road is sooo fun!!! It’s not too long and it’s very hot during the day (mbe it’s better to visit at night time) but it’s so lively!! A lot of vendors with reasonable price, you can try to bargain but not all the stores accept it. We found a small place to buy the passport holders, wallets and had it personalized. The guy engraved our names on it and we loved it soooo much! He helped design it too! People were selling scorpions, spiders, some other bugs and crocodile meat. If you’re adventurous mbe you’ll like to try :)) The toilet is savage!! You pay 10baht for toilet but the entrance looks like a jail :) For food i highly recommend this place https://maps.app.goo.gl/yRhSzrE14YuGEd3L6?g_st=ic The food was great!! We ended up ordering 2-3 dishes per head, the tom yum kung was amazing!
