Shopping Tips
Khao San Road at night, Bangkok

Khao San Road is the best-known backpacker street in Bangkok. After dark it fills with street food carts, bars, tattoo shops and souvenir stalls.

What to expect

Loud music, crowds and an international crowd. It is more of a party street than a traditional market, but the street food is cheap and varied.

What to eat

Pad thai, fruit shakes, grilled skewers, roti, fried insects (for the curious) and mango sticky rice.

Visitor tips

  • Agree on prices before you order.
  • Watch for scams and tuk-tuk touts.
  • The nearby Soi Rambuttri is quieter.
