I guess it was because I was dog tired from all that traveling that I got a really good rest at the Siam Oriental Inn, but I still managed to wake up early at around seven in the morning. I got outside to have a look at what Khao San Road looks like now. It has been almost seven years since I was last here. That early morning, I saw Khao San Road like it was a riot area with all sorts of trash in the street because of all the partying that night. This morning, it looks much better.
Khao San Road is backpacker central of Bangkok. If you want a cheap place to stay in Bangkok, this would probably be the first place to look in – that is, if you can stand the noise from the music outside. This should not be a problem if you have ear plugs. The street is lined with restaurants serving cuisine from all over the world. Which is not a surprise for places like these. As expected, it was really quiet, but a lot of people were already up and about having breakfast. At least there is no loud music. It all starts when the sun goes down.
