Khao San Road
Listed under Squares, Streets & Urban Spaces in Bangkok, Thailand.
Khao San road (Thai: ถนนข้าวสาร) is a short road in central Bangkok, Thailand. It is located in the Banglamphu neighborhood (Phra Nakhon district) about 1 km north from the Grand Palace with Wat Phra Kaew.
It has developed over the years into probably the most profound worldwide example of a "backpackers" ghetto.
