Khaosan Road in Bangkok has been the Mecca for backpackers since the 90's. It has been featured in some movies like the Leonardo Dicaprio's The Beach and has been mentioned in a few novels. Believe me. It’s really a melting pot of different races. The vibrant noise at night and lights from different resto bars just makes me go loco! It has been a popular choice for travelers/backpackers because of it's cheap accommodation. Who would resist staying in the area where you can have a decent bed for 150Baht? Plus the fun itself staying in the area.

| Oh Yes! I love Khaosan Road |
 |
| The busy street |
 |
| Packed with people from different races |
Khaosan Road at daytime seems like another quiet part of Bangkok. All you can see is a picture of tuktuk drivers talking and offering their services and tired people with puffy eyes buying some cold drinks at the nearby 7/eleven store getting ready for whatever day tours they have in their itinerary and the rest..perhaps they're sleeping.

| See how quiet it looks like. |
 |
| So where are the vendors? |
At night, the street is filled with vendors selling clothes, shoes, accessories, food and offering services from Thai massage to hair braids. The street is also busy with people wandering around the area to look for thing that they can find. And as for me, I got to see and experience life! I got to try the things I wanted to. Like connecting with other people in terms of culture and of course... my favorite part- good food.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Bangkok (especially for those who have tight budget), I recommend staying at Khaosan Road. There are lots of budget hotels and guesthouses you can choose from. Or at least stay for a night to party! :)
