Things to Know Before You Go
Bring cash for street food, souvenirs, and smaller vendors, although many establishments accept cards. Be prepared for crowds, especially during weekends or festive seasons. While the street is generally safe, keep an eye on your belongings as pickpocketing can occur in busy areas. Dress casually and comfortably, especially if you plan to explore during the day or stay out late.
How to Get There
Khao San Road is located in the Phra Nakhon district. You can get there via taxi, tuk-tuk, or bus. Alternatively, take the MRT to Sanam Chai Station or the BTS to Saphan Taksin, and then connect with a taxi or Chao Phraya River Express boat to Phra Arthit Pier, which is a short walk away.
When to Get There
While Khao San Road is lively all day, the best time to visit depends on your preference. Visit during the afternoon for a laid-back vibe and shopping, or come at night to experience its famous nightlife scene. Weekends are livelier, but also more crowded.
Day Trips from Bangkok
Combine your visit to Khao San Road with nearby attractions like the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), and Wat Pho. After exploring these cultural sites, return to Khao San for a relaxed evening of food, drinks, and entertainment.
