Bangkok is no stranger to tourists from across the globe. There’s everything that you can think of to make it a top tourist destination. Bars, hotels, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment – you name it. Not just the luxury hotels in Bangkok, but most of the hostels, motels, and other such budget accommodation options also have a large number of guests throughout the year.
If you are a young traveller looking to explore and make the most of the city, according to the famous book, “The Beach” Khao San Road is described as the “centre of backpacking universe.” The 1 km stretch is congested with budget guesthouses and hostels, swanky bars and clubs, massage parlours and of course travellers who are mostly backpackers. However, if you do not prefer to stay within the street but like to get a taste of it, then there are several other options just outside such as Chatrium Hotels & Residences, located within easy reach of the street. The area is not only popular among the foreigners but also local hipsters and students. The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in Bangkok. The place is great to meet and share stories with similar travellers or a great refresher before heading to the next location.
The nightlife scene here is particularly notable and caters to all kind of varied tastes. Some of the famous stops include the Brick Bar, which has a live band playing upbeat pop songs. It is regarded as the most fun filled bar in the area. The Day of the Dead bar is another top pick for its rock tunes, Mexican food and lots more. Molly 31st is another famous stop and is a great place to have some drinks and watch the world go by.
