Thanon Khao San

From seedy backpacker ghetto of the 1980s to atmospheric flashpacker central of the current times, Th Khao San has undergone a considerable image makeover through the years. However, the undying energy and charm of the pedestrianised road remains quite intact, and a network of cheerful side streets complement the iconic thoroughfare to constitute a unique tourist ecosystem featuring some excellent sleeping, eating and drinking options for every traveller.
