You either hate or love this world-renowned backpacker haven
Thai noodle and pancake vendors compete for precious space with gourmet coffee outlets and Western fast food chains; two-dollar-a-night guesthouses are being overtaken by multi-story hotels boasting gleaming lobbies and rooftop swimming pools; and the experience of queuing for much-anticipated mail at the local post restante is but a distant memory amidst the fire-wire atmosphere of Kaosan’s countless air-conditioned cyber cafes. Some internet shops boast computer keyboards in Korean, Japanese and Hebrew – an internationalization mirrored just outside by swanky food stalls serving up sushi, hummus and falafel. And the street’s most recent incarnation as a pedestrian promenade means no more tuk-tuks jamming the road in search of customers for gem shop tours or Pat Pong brothels.

Yes, it’s swarming with tourists, but great if you need tour or visa assistance. There are also great budget food options in the side alleys off the main road.

Immer lebendig und farbenfroh! Für einen Spaziergang okay, shoppen würde ich z.B. aber wegen der erhöhten Touristenpreise woanders.

A long stretch of road seemingly tailor-made to the weary backpacker; simply arrive and find accommodations and a meal. Street performers, sex clubs, and street meat only add to the fun.

This is where you go to buy Chang Beer and Mister Men T-shirts, get fake IDs and pirated videos, eat mango sticky rice from street vendors, buy bus tickets, etc. Backpacker central, but pretty well-developed. There's even an air-conditioned Starbucks here.
