What is Khao San Road in Bangkok known for?
Khao San Road is Bangkok's legendary backpacker strip — a 400-meter stretch of guesthouses, street food stalls, tattoo parlors, and bucket-cocktail bars, with historic temples nearby. Look beyond the main road and you'll find quiet guesthouses and authentic Thai restaurants. Nearby Rambuttri Road offers a more relaxed alternative. Close to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho.
