Frequented by swathes of international tourists and locals alike, the area is always bursting with action, but it is at night when Khao San Road truly comes alive. Here you'll find a rich and diverse selection of bars and nightclubs catering to all kinds of travellers. Enjoy ice-cold drinks at institutions like Gulliver's, Mulligan's, and The One. Dance the night away to smooth grooves at Brick Bar. Be seen at local favourites The Club and Lava Gold. For people-watching, head to The Roof Bar. Khao San Road is also an excellent place to try local flavours. Sample from the famous pad Thai to deep-fried spring rolls, grilled meat skewers, mango sticky rice, fried roti, and coconut ice cream to barbecued crocodiles and fried and crispy bugs, like grasshoppers, cockroaches, and scorpions. Feeling like spending some bahts? There are also plenty of shopping opportunities here: clothing and accessories, traditional handicrafts, handmade jewellery, vintage goods, and much more.
