Khaosan

 Everything you Need to Know about 

 Khao San Road. 




     
     Obviously the first place to go shopping is Khao San Road itself. Beside the usual tourist crowd, plenty of locals come here for shopping as well.


     More eclectic and exciting are the market stalls. It only takes a few minutes of tricky maneuvering Khao San Road's narrow, obstacle strewn pavements to realise that every last inch of space is dedicated to small commerce. Tightly packed stalls line the walk-ways on either side, and sell pretty much anything that can fit inside a backpack: knock-off t-shirts, sandals, shorts, trainers, fisherman's pants, sunglasses, bikinis, jewellery, textiles, pirate music CDs and DVDs, old Thai movie posters, and more.






Khao San Road offers some of the cheapest and most diverse food selections anywhere in Bangkok.




Food



PATTHAI is most popular food.






Night clubs

     Khao San Road takes off at night: neon signs flicker into life, music begins blasting from streetside sound systems, while the masses begin mapping out the long, alcohol-soaked night in front of them.

     At around 23:00, Khao San Road's clubs kick into life. These play mostly hip-hip, house and pumping pop, alongside a dash of indie, rock and reggae. Some of the most popular venues for dance music lovers include Lava Bar, The Club and Immortal, with locals DJ's working up a storm that pulls in a crowd most nights.






You can go by bus number 3, 6, 9, 56 and 64.
