Thanon Khao San — Attraction in Talat Yot Subdistrict

Is one of the most popular places in Bangkok. Lot of shops, loud music, insect food, restaurants, bars, hotels and fruit shops. Interesting place to visit in the nights if you want to party and if you want to buy local stuff I recommend you to go in the morning because is quiet. Take care if you take a tour with the taxis or tuk tuks, they always triple the price, you have to bargain a lot. I had a bad experience and hope this could help you. Me and my girlfriend took a tour to floating market with a taxi, I previously check the map to the places we wanted to go and talked with the driver and he said one price. The tour lasted like 4 hours and includes floating market outside Bangkok and Mae Klong train market that is like 1:30 hours from Bangkok. The problem was that when we were at the floating market the taxi driver wanted us to go to a port that he wanted and not the one we wanted because they receive a commission from the piers, they charge you more than the original price and then they give to de driver some money. We said to the taxi driver to drove us to other floating market that we want but he start to yell and say that since covid, the other boarding places are closed and staff like that (it was a lie) and he tries to double the price of the tour and he said “I don't want to continue anymore, I'll leave you here” we were 1:30 hours to Bangkok in the middle of nowhere, so we got scared and got out of the taxi and entered a minimarket. The guy park his car and He entered the market and tried to convince us to return to the taxi but that the price would be higher than the agreed price because we did not do what he wanted. We told him that this was not what was agreed at the beginning and that we would call the police, finally the taxi driver left. Grab (like Thailand uber app) had no coverage in that place so we didn’t know how to return. We called tourist police and they come in like 30 minutes and they help us calling a taxi, for some reason there were no taxis in that city and since it was far from bangkok they didn't want to take us. We finally arrived safely at the hotel but I recommend you to be very careful with this type of people because the police told us that this happens...

Visiting Khaosan Road at night was an experience that truly brought the place to life for me. As the sun set, this famous street in Bangkok transformed into a vibrant hub of activity, bursting with energy and excitement. The neon lights flickered to life, illuminating the throngs of tourists who flocked here for the legendary nightlife.

The first thing that struck me was the sheer diversity of the crowd. Tourists from all corners of the globe converged here, creating a melting pot of cultures and languages. This cosmopolitan atmosphere added a unique charm to Khaosan Road, making every step an adventure.

Street vendors lined the sidewalks, offering a tantalizing array of local delicacies, from savory Pad Thai to exotic insects for the daring foodie. The aroma of sizzling food wafted through the air, mingling with the sounds of live music and the chatter of animated conversations.

Bars and clubs spilled out onto the street, their music competing for attention. Whether you prefer the pulsating beats of a nightclub or the laid-back vibes of a reggae bar, Khaosan Road has something for everyone. The nightlife here was electric, with people dancing, singing, and enjoying the carefree atmosphere well into the early hours.

Despite the bustling activity, there was an undeniable sense of camaraderie among the visitors. Strangers became friends over shared drinks and spontaneous dance-offs, creating memories that would last a lifetime. If you're as lucky as I was, you might even catch a few street performers entertaining travelers with their impressive acts.

After hours of exploring, my feet began to ache from all the walking. Thankfully, I found relief with an outdoor foot massage. Skilled masseuses were ready to ease my tired feet, providing a relaxing respite amidst the lively chaos.

Khaosan Road at night is not just a destination; it's an experience. It’s a place where you can lose yourself in the crowd, savor new tastes, and revel in the vibrant nightlife. If you're looking for an unforgettable evening in Bangkok, Khaosan Road is the...

Below my original review about Khaosan road. The review was quite negative, and that's why I wanted to check if things are like I saw them. So, we made this time an evening trip to Khaosan road to see what it is about; walking and sitting there, and taking some pics.

Khaosan road is a place for western tourists. The atmosphere there is far from any hippie culture... or, actually, far from any culture 😂 Visitors are mostly young people, but there are surpringly many older people, too. Looking for their youth? 😄 Local people there are mostly workers; few local visitors are young. And what else? Khaosan road is a bazar with too expensive prices; too many weeds shops; too many restaurants; some massage shops and tattoo studios, two x 7-Eleven. I planned to have fun. There isn't anything fun on Khaosan road. Simply said, Khaosan road is the most stupid place where I have visited in Thailand.

To be honest, something positive to mention, too: Vegetarian spring rolls and Thai pad, noddles with eggs, was 70 baht which is not a bad price and food was enough to kill my hunger; a big bottle of beer about 60 baht - in 7-Eleven 🙃 For a weed enthusiast Plantopia is absolutely worth of check. Plantopia collects about 10 weed shops under the same roof, and there in the middle are tables to enjoy your weed. Unluckily, like Khaosan road generally, Plantopia, either, is not cozy at all. I wanted to see Khao San Road because of its rumour almost as one of the main attractions in Bangkok. It isn't. We went there purposely in the morning time, 10 am., to see what that road really is. Among thousands of roads and streets of Bangkok, Khao San is or has nothing special, one street among many; there are much more interesting places and roads in Bangkok. There are many bars and kiosks selling cannabis on Khao San Road, which is not a big...
