Eating on Khao San Road
Khao San Road on Friday night is full of traveller and thai teenagers who come to clubs on Khao San Road. Normally on weekdays, the most people in Khao San Road are foreign travellers. But on the weekend especially on Friday night and Saturday night, the most people will be thai teenagers. They come to Khao San Road for drink and dance at the clubs around.
Anyway, Khao San Road still full with interested things. Especially for the street vendors, you can buy some food at a very cheap price. The most famouse menu from these street vendors is Pad Thai. You can eat Pad Thai for only 10 baht and 15 baht for Pad Thai with egg. But Pad Thai on Khao San Road from these vendors is not the most delicious in Thailand. These pad that have no shrimps or any meat, just vegetable and some egg as an option. But it is still good to try, the taste is okay and seem to be delicious when you are hungry.
If you want to try a great Padthai, you can try it at Thipsamai Restaurant. This restaurant is only 10 minutes from Khao San Road. You can see the map from the restaurant's web site.
Another interested vendor is Fried Insects Vendor. Thailand have a great meal from insects. Fried insect is a must try. But I never try it .. ha ha. You can buy this fried insects from the vendor around Khao San Road. Someone told me that it is very delicious. But someone told me that it is not. So it is up to you, you can decided after you try it. Good Luck. :D
There is a noticable cocktail bus on Khao San Road. This cocktail shop was run by a group of Katoey. (Katoey means a man that want to be a women) I saw a lot of katoeys dance on a cocktail bus. You can buy cocktails and drinks here. There also have a counter bar beside the bus. You can sit back and looking for the movement of people on Khao San Road. There are many of cocktail bar around Khao San Road. But this Cocktail Bus is the most interested. Don't miss this cocktail bus when you have a chance to visit Khao San Road.
Everythings are available on Khao San Road. You can see a live soccer match and some movies from the restaurant along Khao San Road. Today had a live soccer match between Manchester United and Tottenham Hot Spurs. There are a big screen of a live soccer match beside the street. |
