Come Down to the
Crossroads
The crossroads for any young
traveler coming to or leaving
Southeast Asia are at Khaosan Road.
This lively strip is a multi-nationality
experience, with dozens of street
vendors, artisans, fancy bars and
restaurants galore.
Ever since Alex Garland’s novel The
Beach, and the movie version starring
Leonardo DiCaprio, appeared, the
road’s reputation has been on the
up and up. Nowadays, there may be
a Boots pharmacy, a Burger King,
a McDonald’s and more upscale
accommodation, but Khaosan still
attracts many young travelers – and
even their one-time hippie parents.
Near to Khaosan, Phra A-thit Road
is Bangkok’s Little Bohemia, with arty
restaurants, chic bars and a riverfront
park that hosts festivals of theatre,
dance and music from time to time.
The beautifully preserved old
wooden buildings around here are
a portal into Bangkok’s past. And
the nearby pier for river-taxis makes
arriving and departing a breeze.
