考山路 (泰语: ถนนข้าวสาร) 是一条位于湄南河以北约一个街区的小路,属于叻那哥信。由于提供泰国最便宜的住宿和旅行优惠,这里吸引了众多背包客和预算有限的旅行者。本文也涵盖了更广泛的兰邦区域,那里有一些有趣的寺庙,以及更多的住宿和餐饮选择。

发音提示
“Khao”这个音节的发音与英语单词“cow”相似,但自1990年代末以来,背包客经常将其误读为“coe”(可能将其与“koh”混淆,“koh”意为“岛屿”,这本身就是错误的,而且“koh”的发音应为急促的“goh”;这可能受到了书籍/电影《海滩》的影响)。请通过正确发音来帮助在背包客群体中重新引入正确的发音。Khào Sán,Khào 发音时带有降调,Sán 发音时带有升调。 |
单词khao san意为“碾碎的大米”,这归因于这条街在历史上在米业贸易中的作用。考山路上第一家开业的生意是一家小型酒店,旨在服务前来曼谷公干的各省公务员。随后是Sor Thambhakdi(一家出售僧侣用品的商店)入驻。之后又有四家类似的企业迁入,考山路因此被称为“宗教之路”。
关于这里悠闲的生活方式和当地人的友好,消息很快传开。朋友告诉朋友,不久之后,房主开始收取20泰铢的食宿费。第一家商业化旅馆Bonny于1982年开业,有六间小卧室。
如今,这里提供的不仅仅是六间小卧室。过去那种嬉皮士风格、悠闲、经济实惠的考山路早已被如今高度商业化、以游客为中心的氛围所取代。这里是香蕉煎饼小径的中心。在短短几个街区内,就有酒吧、食品摊、餐馆、便利店、药店、网吧、货币兑换点、ATM、鞋店、按摩店、裁缝店、旅行社、自助洗衣店、拳击馆、验光师,以及无数出售可疑折扣名牌服装的店铺,哦,还有过夜的房间。
这种混乱已经蔓延到整个区域,包括兰布特里街 (Soi Rambuttri),那里的小酒吧和餐馆开始延伸到路上;帕亚泰路 (Phra Athit Road),那里有殖民风格的宅邸和河畔酒店;以及三森路 (Samsen Road),这是一个安静的社区,有舒适的旅馆和素食餐厅。这里确实是一个旅游目的地,晚上可能会有点不安全,因为会发生抢劫和扒窃事件。
抵达
[]考山路从曼谷的任何地方都比较容易到达。快船、巴士和出租车是你的主要选择。虽然天铁和地铁是前往曼谷许多地方的便捷方式,但它们与考山路(以及叻那哥信的其他地方)没有连接。虽然考山路进出方便,但它距离曼谷大多数游客会前往的其他区域(如素坤逸或是隆)较远(30-60分钟)。
[]
[]乘坐湄南河快船是前往考山路最经济、最风景优美的方式。如果您从市中心出发,乘坐天铁到沙吞 (Saphan Taksin)站,您可以在沙吞码头 (Sathorn pier)换乘快船。然后乘坐快船一直向北,直到帕·阿提特码头 (Phra Arthit pier),大约需要35分钟,费用为13至18泰铢。确保乘坐橙色旗帜线或蓝色旗帜旅游船,因为黄色旗帜线会完全跳过帕·阿提特码头。
如果您住在考山路,快船是前往叻那哥信和是隆最方便的方式。从考山路到帕·阿提特码头只有很短(但令人困惑)的步行路程。首先走到考山路警局那一侧,然后右转到Chakrabongse路,立即左转进入Soi Rambuttri。一直走到需要左转的地方,然后右转进入Soi Chana Songkhram。走到尽头,右转进入Phra Athit路,过马路,寻找前往快船码头的小指示牌(它在Navalai River Resort附近)。带一张好地图,有良好的方向感,或者在迷路时向当地人寻求帮助。主要目标是向西走,直到到达河边。
最重要的码头是ท่าช้าง (Tha Chang)(前往大皇宫)、ท่าเตียน (Tha Tien)(前往卧佛寺)和Ratchawongse(前往唐人街)。所有线路都停靠沙吞码头 (Sathorn pier),在那里您可以换乘天铁。从这里,您可以前往是隆、暹罗广场、素坤逸和帕宏约廷。湄南河快船在晚上18:00或19:00左右停运,具体取决于日期,所以晚上您将不得不依靠其他交通方式。
从考山路前往暹罗广场、素坤逸和兰坎亨最快(但不算最舒适)的方式是乘坐Saen Saep 快船。离考山路最近的码头是Panfa Leelard,它靠近金山寺和拉差那达寺。在那里您可以乘坐金山线,这是一条从Panfa Leelard到Pratunam的直达船。在那个码头,您可以换乘NIDA线,该线从Pratunam一直向东北方向运行到兰坎亨的Wat Sriboonreung。从Panfa Leelard到Pratunam的单程大约需要20分钟,费用为11泰铢。在旅途中,您会经过Talat Bobae(前往同名服装市场)、Sapan Charoenpol、Baan Krua Nua(前往金汤普森之家)、Sapan Hua Chang(前往暹罗广场)和Pratunam(前往Pratunam和Ratchaprasong)等站点。
乘巴士
[]曼谷的巴士系统非常复杂,但由于考山路没有连接到天铁,对于某些目的地,您别无选择。以下是一些前往/离开考山路有用的巴士线路:
- 普通巴士2号从素坤逸路前往Sanam Luang,途中经过Ratchadamnoen Klang路,这条路非常靠近考山路。该线路方便换乘天铁、地铁和东部巴士总站(Ekkamai),并且途中经过Pratunam。费用为6-7泰铢。
- 普通和空调巴士3号前往北部巴士总站(Mo Chit),并经过Chakrabongse路(考山路西侧)。行程费用为7泰铢,大约需要30分钟。
- 普通巴士15号从Ratchadamnoen Klang路(考山路附近)前往暹罗广场。
- 普通巴士53号从快船码头附近的Phra Athit路出发,途经叻那哥信和唐人街,走一条有趣的、曲折的路线前往华南蓬火车站。费用为7泰铢,根据交通情况,需要30分钟或更长时间。
- 空调巴士511号从东部巴士总站(Ekkamai)经素坤逸路和Ratchadamnoen Klang路(考山路附近)穿越整个城市,到达西部巴士总站(Sai Tai)。警告:普通(非快线)巴士会经过Ratchadamnoen Klang路,但快线巴士(带黄色标志)则不会!
- 空调巴士509号从莫集巴士总站出发,途经胜利纪念碑(BTS)和Ratchadamnoen Klang路(考山路附近),终点站是挽卿(吞武里)。
- 空调巴士127号和516号前往南部巴士总站(票价约15泰铢),从 Bowonniwet Road(在Bononniwet寺庙前)。
从机场
机场快线巴士于2017年重新开始运营。
素万那普机场:S1号巴士每半小时从航站楼一楼7号门发车,时间为06:00至20:00,票价60泰铢。终点站是Wat Bowonniwet (寺庙)外,行程约一小时(巴士从同一地点返回机场)。
廊曼机场:A4号巴士每半小时从1号航站楼6号门和2号航站楼12号门发车,时间为07:00至23:00,票价50泰铢。终点站是Wat Bowonniwet (寺庙)外,行程不到一小时(巴士从同一地点返回机场)。
另一个便宜(但更复杂)的选择是乘坐当地巴士前往考山路。从机场出发,在5号门(楼上和楼下都有)外乘坐免费班车前往公共交通换乘站。从那里,乘坐551号巴士(白色面包车),将在胜利纪念碑下车,票价40泰铢。然后乘坐59号巴士,在考山路和民主纪念碑之间约一半的位置下车。前往机场,乘坐59号巴士,该巴士从Ratchadamnoen Klang路(考山路和民主纪念碑之间约一半的位置)出发(寻找巴士站牌上半撕裂的飞机标志)。它将在胜利纪念碑下车,在那里您可以乘坐551号巴士前往公共交通换乘站。从那里,乘坐免费班车前往航站楼只需很短的路程。
考山路也是从清迈、南部岛屿、泰国其他地区以及柬埔寨暹粒的长途旅游巴士的停靠点。
打车
[]即使是一些按计价器收费的出租车,也会试图向您收取约200-300泰铢的固定费用才能去考山路,而不是使用计价器(从是隆出发,票价不超过80泰铢,或者从素坤逸出发,票价为100-150泰铢,或者从华南蓬火车站出发,票价约为60-80泰铢)。司机声称考山路“太远了”,无法使用计价器,但这并非事实;事实是,他们可以借此机会过分收取游客费用,如果您不支付,街上的下一辆车可能会这样做。您应该拒绝支付该金额,并寻找诚实的司机——曼谷不缺出租车。没有必要讨价还价,因为计价器总是更便宜。
通常来说,年长的司机更愿意使用计价器,而年轻的司机则倾向于向游客收取高昂的费用。还要避免停在路边的出租车(不诚实的司机更喜欢等待易受骗的游客),而要招手拦一辆行驶中的出租车(仪表盘上的红灯表示它们是否可用)。大多数出租车都是新的(不到两年车龄),最好避免使用旧出租车,因为它们的空调功能很差,而且这些司机往往不太可靠。然而,绝大多数出租车司机都相当诚实,所以总是选择出租车而不是嘟嘟车。
往返机场,出租车是前往考山路最方便快捷的方式。按计价器收费的出租车应在300-450泰铢之间,如果使用收费公路(泰国人称为toll way),费用最高为65泰铢。白天的交通可能会让收费公路非常值得,因为它们可以节省时间和金钱。在交通状况良好的情况下,行程约需45分钟,但请预留大量时间,因为考山路周边的区域可能会非常拥堵。如果您在午夜之后到达,预计费用约为500泰铢。这500泰铢包括所有通行费、50泰铢的机场费以及计价器上显示的票价。晚上,出租车是您唯一的选择,因为机场快线在午夜停止运营。
从南部巴士总站出发,票价(包括50泰铢的收费公路费)约为110泰铢。
看
[]


虽然考山路本身没有多少著名的历史遗迹,但它是叻那哥信的一部分,实际上是曼谷最古老的街区之一。街道周围有许多老式商铺和值得注意的寺庙。除了有趣的建筑,该地区还展示了典型的曼谷的多元民族和文化融合。这里有佛教徒、华人、穆斯林、孟族人,当然还有大量的外国人在这个小小的城市区域。所有这些都使得该地区成为一窥泰国生活的一个有趣场所。
- 民主纪念碑 (อนุสาวรีย์ประชาธิปไตย), Ratchadamnoen Klang Rd (在Ratchadamnoen Klang路和Dinso路交叉口). 民主纪念碑完全占据了主要干道上的一个环岛。其显著特征是围绕着一个较小的中心祭坛,分布在四个等距点的四个“翅膀”。翅膀上装饰有战争和与战争相关的艺术作品。从远处看(尤其是在日出和日落时)相当令人印象深刻,但也许不值得冒着穿越曼谷五条车道的危险去近距离观看。它纪念1932年6月推翻君主专制、建立该国第一部民主宪法的政变。1973年、1976年和1992年,示威者曾在这里聚集,为争取民主而斗争,这象征着这座纪念碑在泰国近代史中的重要作用。 免费.
- 10月14日纪念碑 (อนุสรณ์สถาน 14 ตุลา), 14/16 Ratchadamnoen Klang Rd (在Ratchadamnoen Klang路和Tanao路交叉口). 1973年10月14日是泰国现代历史上最重要的日子之一。数百万民主示威者聚集在Ratchadamnoen Klang路,反对他侬·吉狄卡琼的军事独裁。军政府用屋顶上的狙击手攻击人群,造成数十名平民死亡。最终,政权被推翻,泰国成为君主立宪制国家。这座纪念碑是为了纪念那天牺牲的人们,以及1976年和1992年类似抗议活动中牺牲的人们。您可以在小型博物馆中了解更多关于泰国历史上这段动荡时期的信息。 免费.
- 帕苏门堡 (ป้อมพระสุเมรุ), Phra Athit Rd (在Santichaiprakan公园内). 帕苏门堡最好从Santichaiprakan公园观看,它是曾完全环绕叻那哥信岛的历史城墙的仅存的两座塔楼之一(另一座是Mahakan Fort)。曾沿着湄南河和Rop Krung运河而建的历史城墙曾有十四座这样的瞭望塔,但十二座已未能经受时间的考验。帕苏门堡建于1783年,是拉玛一世国王统治时期,用于保护城市免受潜在外国海军入侵。这座堡垒有一个瞭望塔和两层城垛,其原始大炮仍保留在原位。 免费.

- Santichaiprakan公园 (พระที่นั่งและสวนสาธารณะสันติชัยปราการ), Phra Athit Rd (靠近帕·阿提特码头). 每日05:00-22:00. 这个小巧绿色的公园享有湄南河和横跨其上的现代拉玛八世大桥的美景。这里有一个露天凉亭、帕苏门堡,以及(据称)该地区仅存的两个“lamphu”树(这些树曾经遍布兰邦,该区也因此得名)。公园里举办的活动包括泰国古典音乐、杂耍表演和(18:00)健身操。公园也成为霹雳舞者交流技巧的聚集地。 免费.

- 瓦特波温尼韦寺 (วัดบวรนิเวศ), Bowonniwet Rd (位于Bowonniwet路和Phra Sumen路拐角处), ☏ +66 2 281-2831. 每日08:00-17:00. 这座寺庙建于1829年,是Phra Phutthachinnasi(约1357年创建的非常美丽的佛像)的殿堂。这是曼谷最重要的寺庙之一,其前住持是拉玛四世国王,在他登基前。拉玛四世国王、拉玛七世国王以及普密蓬·阿杜德国王陛下在出家期间都曾居住于此。下午要注意,虽然必须脱鞋,但地面可能会因高温而变得滚烫。穿袜子可能是个好主意。 免费.

- 瓦特查纳颂堪寺 (วัดชนะสงคราม), Soi Chana Songkhram (位于考山路西端对面), ☏ +66 2 677-8888. 每日10:30-22:30. 几百年前,在与缅甸的战争结束后,泰国政府将土地赐予了在这场战争中与泰国并肩作战的孟族少数民族。孟族人在这里建立了一个社区,包括这座寺庙,也被称为胜利寺。许多旅行者将寺庙的地面用作考山路和有渡轮码头的Phra Athit路之间的捷径。这座寺庙值得一游,有漂亮的壁画、檐下悬挂着清脆作响的寺庙钟声、九重葛藤蔓和美丽的树木。不收门票,欢迎您向佛像致敬,或者只是在考山路上熙熙攘攘的背包客之外寻找一丝宁静。 免费.

活动
[]考山路上的活动并不特别高雅。许多背包客只是在咖啡馆里放松,喝着冰镇的象牌啤酒,观看《老友记》的重播。人们观察也是一项主要活动:可以在考山路沿街的许多酒吧和酒馆进行。当这一切变得过于紧张时,附近有很多按摩店。
- Shewa Spa (ชีวา สปา), 108/2 Rambuttri Rd (位于Susie Walking Street尽头), ☏ +66 2 629-0701, shewaspa@hotmail.com. 每日09:00-01:00. 比该地区其他按摩店稍贵,但感觉更专业。装饰非常干净可爱。按摩师训练有素,态度友好。提供泰式按摩、精油按摩、草药按摩、足部磨砂和脱毛。您还可以参加一个为期10天的20小时按摩课程,费用为5000泰铢。 230泰铢/小时.

学习
[]泰拳馆
[]- Sor. Vorapin Gym, 13 Trok Kasap (位于Soi Rambuttri一条尘土飞扬的小巷尽头,从考山路出发,朝警局方向走,过马路,左转,走进一家有木桌椅的以色列餐厅,上二楼出去,健身房就在左边。), ☏ +66 2 282-3551. 每日07:30-09:30和15:00-17:00. 如果您敢于尝试,您可能想学习泰拳(泰国拳击)。欢迎初学者和临时参加者。课程提供短裤和拳套。英语指导可能不太详细,但像“拳击”、“踢腿”和“一二”等关键短语都在。不过要做好防护!如果这对您来说太辛苦了,您也可以坐在外面的长椅上观看训练。这样您就可以省下1000泰铢观看真正的泰拳比赛了! 400泰铢.

烹饪课程
[]- Maliwan泰式烹饪班, 9 Sip Sam Hang Rd (使用位于Krisi路中国寺庙附近的建筑的后门), ☏ +66 2 629-3719. 每日09:00-20:30(每月1日除外). 课程由一位会说英语的泰国厨师在干净、设备齐全的厨房中授课。他们的半日课程以示范开始,之后您可以开始在独立的烹饪台准备和烹饪食物。课程规模相对较小,最多可容纳八人。课程结束时,您可以在非正式的氛围中享用您准备的食物。课程结束时会颁发结业证书。 1000-2000泰铢/课.

购物
[]很明显,第一个购物场所就是考山路本身。简单的商店沿着街道排开,出售连衣裙、衬衫、裙子、配饰、鞋子和包,通常价格便宜。其中许多是复古款,因为这在考山人群中很受欢迎。还有通常的纪念品和手工艺品店。
穿着民族服装的山地部落妇女整天在考山路上走来走去,通常会发出装饰性青蛙的呱呱声。她们一整天都会接近游客,试图向她们推销配饰、吊床和民族手工艺品。她们非常友好,明确表示“不”就会退后,但一旦知道您有兴趣,许多这些卖家就会聚集在您身边,希望从中获利。
务必提防被敲竹杠。切勿在此区域购买任何贵重物品,因为这里有很多骗局和伎俩。考山路是许多批发银饰店的所在地,但不要想在那里购买。一个常见的骗局是以远高于实际价值的价格出售宝石。西装推销员会主动找走在考山路上的男性,但永远不要和他们去——在考山路定制服装是完全浪费钱,因为质量极差。如果您真的想要一套西装,请前往市中心寻找更好的选择。
其他有问题的商品包括假冒服装、盗版电影甚至假文凭。这里的当局似乎漠不关心,但一旦您回到自己的国家,您可能会遇到麻烦。这个 兰邦市场 考山路以北是购买各种便宜的泰国仿冒品(从牛仔裤到意大利运动鞋)以及一些高档泰国丝绸商店的好地方。该地区也有丰富的食品摊。
书籍
[]随着大多数旅行者携带智能手机和平板电脑,考山路曾经繁荣的二手书店生意几乎消失了。然而,该地区仍有两家值得一看的书店:一家位于连接考山路和兰布特里路的Susie Walkway上,另一家位于兰布特里路,在Chakrabongse路上方。
手工艺品
[]出售独特商品的商店,而不是该地区随处可见的商业化、大众化纪念品。
- The Chonabod Shop, 131 Samsen Road, Sam Phra Ya, siamruay@yahoo.com. 一家由平面设计师经营的小型氛围店。丝网印刷T恤。手工印刷卡片,棉围巾和包。

餐饮
[]| 本页使用以下价格范围表示单人典型餐点(含软饮) | |
| 经济型 | 100 泰铢以下 |
| 中档 | 100-500 泰铢 |
| 奢侈 | 500 泰铢以上 |
考山路提供曼谷最便宜、最多样的食物选择。来自世界各地的旅客都来到这里,因此对各种民族食品的需求很高。除了常见的泰国菜肴外,印度菜、意大利菜和犹太菜也特别有代表性,素食餐厅也很多。
街头小吃摊在路上出售不错的泰式炒河粉、鹌鹑蛋、薄饼(类似煎饼)、沙拉三明治、鹰嘴豆泥、各种昆虫,有些还只卖鸡尾酒。然而,其中很多都是专门为背包客设计的——即使是当地的泰式炒河粉,尤其是10泰铢的品种,为了省钱而减少了食材,并使用酱油而不是传统的罗望子酱。
随着考山路逐渐摆脱其背包客的根源,标准(和价格)正在上升。在过去的十年里,许多受欢迎的国际连锁食品店都在考山路开设了分店,包括汉堡王、麦当劳和Subway。中档餐厅每天都在增加,但不要指望在这里大吃一顿。那些寻找真正美食的人应该去别处,比如素坤逸。
经济型
[]- Chabad House 犹太洁食餐厅 (ชาบัด เฮ้าส์), 96 Rambuttri Rd (位于Rambuttri路中间), ☏ +66 2 629-2754. 周日-周四 10:00-22:00,周五 10:00-15:00. 这家餐厅是遍布世界各地2000多家分店的国际哈西德连锁店的一部分。对于遵守犹太洁食的犹太旅行者来说,这里是理想的选择。这里有大型肉类菜单,有机会品尝一些美味的犹太洁食泰式料理。或者来一份炸肉排配鹰嘴豆泥。终于有不一样的东西了,而不是街角随处可见的泰式炒河粉!他们还有一个犹太会堂(每日10:00举行礼拜)和一个小商店,您可以在那里购买袋装汤、犹太无酵饼和其他犹太洁食食品。 50-100泰铢.

- Mr Yim's Soi Rambuttri (opposite Merry V guest house, right at the temple wall). Mr. Yim had to move out of his building and now sells his food as a (permanent) street vendor at the same corner, using the temple wall as the back wall of his place. Food is still a great value, with a wide selection of quality products, including veggie options. The big baguettes, and the breakfast, are well worth it. 30-70 baht.

- Popiang House (พอเพียง เฮ้าส์), 43 Soi Rambuttri (in the middle of Soi Rambuttri), ☏ +66 2 282-2628. 24 hours. A typical Khao San Road restaurant that is actually on Soi Rambuttri. It's a street restaurant with red plastic chairs and cheap yellow tables. Mostly known by backpackers for delicious seafood; their grilled fish is a good option. It is also a great place to meet other backpackers while enjoying a cheap beer (only 50 baht for a large one). As a result, it can be crowded on evenings. 60 baht.

- Roti-Mataba 136 Phra Athit Rd (in front of Phra Sumen Fort), ☏ +66 2 282-2119. Tu-Su 09:00-22:00. This immensely popular eatery is one of the few in the area serving Thai-Muslim dishes, such as roti, mataba (a kind of stuffed pancake) and massaman curry. Sitting downstairs gives the best local experience, as you can smell the food being prepared and it feels very cramped. Upstairs has air-conditioning and is more comfortable. A bit of a downer is that the snacks are fairly small, so order two or more meals if you are really hungry. 50-100 baht.

- Jaywalk Cafe (เทคอะซีท), 90 Phra Athit Rd (near the corner with Soi Chana Songkhram), ☏ +66 92 564 2068. W-M 08ː00-18ː00, closed Tu. Quite the breakfast scene with eggs and pancakes, though it's open all day. 50-80 baht.

- Wild Orchid Villa (ไวด์ ออคิด วิลล่า), 8 Soi Chana Songkhram (in the alley between Soi Rambuttri and Phra Athit Road), ☏ +66 2 629-4378. 24 hours. A good restaurant that offers green and red curries, and delicious tom yum soups at fairly low prices. Some of the curries can be spicy. It has a nice interior with either wooden chairs or lounge couches. Excellent for people-watching if you take a seat near the pavement. They could turn the volume of the music down a bit for lunch though. It is also a newly renovated guest house, and rooms cost 700-1,500 baht depending on facilities. 80-150 baht.

中档
[]- Aquatini Bar & Restaurant (ร้านอาหาร อควาตินี่ บาร์), Navalai River Resort, 45/1 Phra Athit Rd (right in front of Phra Arthit pier), ☏ +66 2 280-9955, Info@navalai.com. 06:30-01:00 daily. Part of the Navalai River Resort, this luxury restaurant with Thai and Western dishes has river views over the Chao Phraya River. The interior of the indoor bar has random postmodern touches. It's best to stick to outdoors though, as the deck gives the best views. The breeze, trees and light music make the ambience chilled out. Mostly foreigners visit this place, and the staff make it feel a bit like being inside a resort (well, which you are). The kitchen sure knows how to keep their dishes true to the Thai tongue, though. Try the tom kha kai — it's whiter than white. 300-400 baht.

- Ethos 85/2 ซอย Wat Bowon Niwet (in the alley behind Tanao Road), ☏ +66 2 280 7549. 09:00-22:00 daily. An institution in the area. Table and floor seating. Excellent Thai and International vegan and vegetarian cuisine. No MSG, preservatives or artificial colours or flavours. Free Wi-Fi. Coffee, healthy drinks. Mouth-watering desserts. 150 baht.

- Kem-Kon Khaosan (Kem-Kon), 182 Thanon Tani, Talat Yot, Phra Nakhon (On the corner of Thanon Ram Buttri and Thanon Tani - a two minute walk from Khao San Road.), ☏ +66 80-791-3941. 10AM-11PM. Pure vegan. Most dishes contain fake meat and fish. Coffee. Contemporary design. Part of a chain of vegan restaurants. Fast and polite service.
- Ranee's (ร้านอาหาร ราณี), 77 Trok Mayom (in the small alley south of Khao San Road), ☏ +66 2 282-4072. 07:00-00:00 daily. Hidden among spas and small bars and restaurants down an alley that runs parallel to Khao San Road, this Italian restaurant offers the usual pizzas and pastas, though you will be better served making a selection from the Thai dishes. The curries are delicious (but don't be surprised to find that the jungle curry is made on a watery base and not on a coconut base like other curries — this is normal for jungle curry). Serving sizes are sufficient but not large. Free Wi-Fi. 150 baht.

- Saffron 86 Phra Athit Rd (take a right from Soi Chana Songkhram, opposite the FAO office), ☏ +66 2 281-4228. 08:00-21:00 daily. European-style interior with all the typical Thai dishes. It's also a bakery, and their pies are just waiting to be eaten (try the carrot cake!). Just be warned that many of their dishes and drinks are low-fat and low-sugar, so Thai tea doesn't taste that good. Their menus are loved by vegetarians. 100 baht.

- Suraya Hostel and Kitchen 237/8 Phra Sumen Road, Talat Yot, Phra Nakhon, ☏ +66 99228 4556. Bright and cozy. Excellent Thai cuisine. Fast and friendly service. Vegan and vegetarian options.
- Tham Na Hometaurant 175 Samsen Rd (walk north along Chakrabongse Road, cross the bridge, then a fair hike along Samsen Road, restaurant on the left-hand side), ☏ +66 2 282-4979. M-Sa 08:00-21:00. Many of those that cannot find May Kaidee's 2 stumble across this gem. There's some excellent vegetarian and organic food here that even the most picky meat eater would enjoy. There's a kind of homey and cosy feel with a nice staff. The owner has previously lived in the US, and speaks good English. Try the mushroom curry. 100-120 baht.

- Tom Yum Kung (ร้านอาหาร ต้มยำกุ้ง), 9 Khaosan Rd. Taladyod, Pranakorn, Bangkok 10200 (in an alley at the police station side of Khao San Road), ☏ +66 2 629-1818, tomyumkung@tomyumkungkhaosan.com. 11:00-00:00 daily. Named after Thailand's national dish, it is one of the best restaurants the area has to offer. It's gigantic neon sign may seem cheesy, but the restaurant itself is one of the classiest along Khao San Road. Its square is decorated in traditional Thai style, where the noise of the road cannot be heard. Try some of their authentic Thai dishes, like tom yum kung soup or som tam kung sod, or one of their excellent fish menus (which get you stuffed for sure). 150 baht.

奢侈
[]- Sara Restaurant (ร้านอาหาร ซ่าร่า), Nouvo City Hotel, 2 Samsen Soi 2 (just a few metres inside Samsen Soi 2, across May Kaidee's 2), ☏ +66 2 282-7500. 06:00-22:00 daily. A long-standing halal restaurant part of the Nouvo City Hotel. The interior is decorated in a modern boutique style that gives it a romantic ambience. A friendly staff serves Thai, Indian and international cuisine. Try some Thai favourites, such as tom yam, papaya salad or fried chicken with basil. 500-600 baht.

饮品
[]咖啡
[]Despite Khao San being recognized as the unofficial bar capital of Bangkok, coffee culture has slowly seeped into the area, with Phra Athit Road, in particular, home to a number of cafes. The following list aims to identify coffee shops with a unique character. Chains, which are ubiquitous in the area, and ordinary, nondescript cafes are not listed.
- Coffee Context 47/1 Phra Athit Road, Chana Songkhram, Phra Nakho (near entrance to Phra Athit Pier), ☏ +66 90 979 0317. Daily 08:00-16:00. A clean, fresh looking cafe. Large window. Hard, uncomfortable seating. Great coffee. Fast service. Breakfast and baked desserts

- En Cafe 48 Chakrabongse Road, Talat Yot (Turn left at top of Khao San onto Chakrabongse Road. Turn left into next alley. En is a two-minute walk on the right.), ☏ +66 98 285 9870.

One night in Khao San
While there is much more to see in Bangkok than Khao San... yeah yeah, blah blah, we all know that. Party time! Khao San Road has some of the best bars in town and spending one night of your trip here is a must. You might want to start with a romantic dinner and views over the Chao Phraya River. A good alternative is the seafood at the al fresco terrace of Tom Yum Kung. If you want to save money, or want to have dinner at a typical Khao San-style restaurant, go for the seafood at Popiang House. Probably one of the most enjoyable activities on Khao San Road is people-watching. Center Khao Sarn has the best views of the bunch with many roadside seats. Mulligans is a worthy alternative, and great for conversation as there's no music outside. The locals flock to live performance bars and so should you — Adhere the 13th if you're into blues and jazz happens at Jazz Happens! Bar. If live music is not your thing, head to Bangkok Bar, another popular bar among the locals. Most bars close around 01:00, but if you haven't had enough just yet,Just head back to Center Khao Sarn or Mulligans where you can wash a cold Chang beer down until 2am. |
考山路有一些镇上最便宜的酒吧,如今连泰国人也到这里来小酌几杯。考山路的酒吧大多是为了放松——只是坐在外面,看看人,享受气氛。有些人手里拿着啤酒到处走。7-Eleven 的一罐 Chang 啤酒是 25 泰铢。值得一看的是一些街边改造成移动酒吧的 VW 旅行车,提供用廉价烈酒调制的鸡尾酒。
游客人群已蔓延到北部的 Soi Rambuttri 和 Rambuttri Road。这两个地方的节奏都很悠闲,非常适合观察人群。酒吧沿街有很多座位,音乐也稍微调低了音量,方便人们进行休闲交谈。如果您想去当地人去的地方,Phra Athit Road 和 Ratchadamnoen Klang Road 有一些受当地艺术学生欢迎的艺术/独立酒吧。
- Adhere the 13th, 13 Samsen Rd (walk north along Chakrabongse Road, cross the bridge and you will find the bar at your left-hand side), ☏ +66 8 9769-4613. 18:00-00:00 daily. A small blues bar. There is always a band playing on the live stage, so visiting this one is an absolute must if you're into blues. But even for those not into it, the intimate atmosphere and tight spaces are an interesting experience for everyone.

- Bangkok Bar (บางกอก บาร์), 100 Rambuttri Rd (next to Suksabai Bar), ☏ +66 2 629-4443. 18:00-01:00 daily. Bangkok Bar is a popular bar with local Thais. Live performances are given. Thursdays are busy, Fridays and Saturdays very crowded. A Chang beer is 70 baht, but the locals seem to drink bottles of scotch or cocktails.

- Brick Bar, GF, Buddy's Shopping Plaza, 265 Khao San Rd (at the far end of Buddy's Shopping Plaza), ☏ +66 2 629-447. 20:00-01:00 daily. Brick Bar is an underground ska and reggae bar with live music performances. Its interior is in an old-fashioned Western style. It is very popular with the locals, and extremely crowded in weekends. Known to check IDs. Entry 150 baht.

- Center Khao Sarn (เซ็นเตอร์ ข้าวสาร), 80-84 Khao San Rd (in the middle of Khao San Road's south side), ☏ +66 2 282-4366. 24 hours. Easily the best spot for people-watching on Khao San Road. It's probably the largest venue, in the middle of the street, with its seats right beside the road; and it's always open. It's a great place to chat, sip a beer and lose track of time. There's also a pool table and simple dishes are served. And if you run out of money, there's an ATM at both sides of the bar.

- Gecko Bar, Soi Rambuttri (at the corner near Bella Bella House). A relaxed open air bar on Soi Rambutri. With standard drinks prices and characterful staff, this is a great place to meet other travellers and watch the world go by. Large beer is around 70-80 baht.

- Golf Bar, 65 Khao San Rd (opposite D&D Inn), ☏ +66 93 021 4103. Small bar whose slogan is "Cocktails, very strong. We do not check ID card." One of the cheapest on the road with 50-baht small Chang beers and 200-baht buckets.

- Hippie de Bar, 46 Khao San Rd (follow the Tom Yum Kung neon sign in an alley), ☏ +66 2 629-3508. 11:00-01:00 daily. Psychedelic interior with mismatched furniture, but not really hippie style. Outside is a nice place to chill with a beer or cocktail. It's a bit off the main street, so no noise from there, but the reggae and tropical music are a bit too loud for a casual conversation.


- Molly Bar, 108 Rambuttri Rd (on the road that runs parallel to Khao San Road in the north), ☏ +66 2 629-4074. 13:00-01:00 daily. There's a really relaxed vibe in this colonial-style bar. In the evening, there is a band playing in the corner. Don't expect a quality band, but the live music does give this bar its laid-back feel. It spills out onto the road with plenty of seating outside, so it is a nice alternative for people-watching. And there's a lot to see, as a diverse group of customers attend, including locals.

- Mulligans (มัลลิแกน ไอริชบาร์), 2F, Buddy's Shopping Plaza, 265 Khao San Rd (inside the Buddy Shopping Plaza), ☏ +66 2 629-4477. 24 hours. Opened in 2009, this Irish pub has a daily promotion between 20:00 and 02:00, when a large beer or a cocktail sets you back 110 baht. The area downstairs is relaxed, and right beside the road, so a great place for talking and people-spotting. There is no music downstairs, but the atmosphere is still good as soft music comes from the other side of the street. Upstairs is a large Irish pub. There are often live performances there or you can just play the arcades.

- Sawasdee House (สวีทตี้ เฮ้าส์), 147 Soi Rambuttri (at the corner of Soi Rambuttri and Chakrabongse Road), ☏ +66 2 281-8138. 24 hours. Another people-watching spot, this time along Soi Rambuttri. The tables outside are good for conversation and people-watching, and you can smoke sheesha if you wish. You can also sit inside, but talking is more difficult as the music is very loud. The interior looks nice, with traditional Thai decoration all around. They have plenty of beers and cocktails available, as well as simple Thai dishes to go with them.

- Suksabai (สุขสบาย เรสเทอรองด์), 96 Rambuttri Rd (opposite Viengtai Hotel), ☏ +66 2 629-0298. 24 hours. Suksabai is touted as a restaurant, and they have a large menu with Thai, grill and Italian dishes in the 80-130 baht price range. While decent for budget travellers, the real attraction of this place is its outdoors seating. Seats are lined up onto the main road every night, which makes it is a good place to hang out, talk and watch football on the big screens. Beer and cocktails here are slightly cheaper than on Khao San Road; a large Chang beer goes for 80 baht. It's best to only go inside for the toilet, as its interior is rather uninspiring and messy.

夜总会
[]曼谷的夜生活很难不辜负其声名狼藉的声誉——尤其是考山路。虽然许多路边酒吧 24 小时营业,但夜总会会在凌晨 2 点关门。务必携带护照,因为所有夜总会都会要求您凭证入场。大部分是背包客/嬉皮士人群,所以短裤和人字拖随处可见。如果您想看到更时髦的人群,您需要离开考山路。改乘出租车前往 Royal City Avenue (RCA) 的 Route 66 或 Thonglo 区的 Funky Villa。
- The Club, 123 Khao San Rd (in the middle of Khao San Road), ☏ +66 2 629-1010. 11:00-03:00 daily. One of the better clubs on Khao San Road, and you can't miss it, as it has a huge purple neon sign. It is an Ibiza-style club that basically consists of one large room in Italian style. It might feel a bit overdone and pretentious for Western crowds, but Thai locals flock to this place in large numbers. Music styles played are house, electro, techno and trance. Free entry.

住宿
[]| 本指南使用以下价格范围表示标准*双人*房间的费用 | |
| 经济型 | Under 1,000 baht |
| 中档 | 1,000 baht to 2,500 baht |
| 奢侈 | Over 2,500 baht |
考山路是曼谷的主要背包客聚集地。廉价新旅馆每月都会涌现又消失,因此住宿很难推荐,但总有适合小预算的选择。随着时髦人士和上层人士开始发现这条路,它正越来越多地成为一个提供各种价位住宿的区域。
在入住不熟悉的住宿地点之前,务必先要求查看房间,如果您认为需要,请不要害怕测试风扇或空调。一些考山路的旅馆不允许泰国客人入住,或者在某些情况下不允许任何额外客人入住。
经济型
[]
大多数背包客会直奔考山路,因为这里是曼谷住宿最便宜的地方。如果您住在这里,不要抱有奢侈的期望。这些地方大多数都黑暗、肮脏、不干净,如果运气不好,您可能要和臭虫共度一夜。考山路上的任何住宿都会很吵,而有外窗的房间会很热。
可以尝试往考山路主街外走一两个街区,找一些稍微安静的地方。Soi Rambuttri,警察局 past 的小巷,有一些不错的旅馆,尽管晚上仍然可能很吵。随着街道绕过 Wat Chana Songkhram 寺庙场地,街道会变得更暗、更安静,在那里您可以找到一些安静的旅馆。Samsen Road 及其周边地区是另一个远离喧嚣的避风港,在离活动中心稍远的地方有廉价旅馆。
- Bella Bella House (เบลล่า เบลล่า เฮ้าส์), 74 Soi Chana Songkhram, ☏ +66 2 629-3090. Somewhat spartan rooms with shared bathrooms. No elevator. Upper floor rooms offer view over Wat Chana Songkhram. Internet access for a fee. Food and beer available in 1F restaurant. Staff can be gruff and unfriendly. 200 Baht for shared bathroom rooms.

- Bella Bella Riverview, 6 Samsen 3 Alley, Wat Sam Phraya, Phra Nakhon, ☏ +66 2 628 8077. Fan, no A/C. Basic facilities. Private bathrooms with geezer. No drinking water or soap provided. Indifferent service. Drinking water and cold drinks for sale at reception. Quiet location in alley. Free WIFI. Ten minute walk to Khao San and Phra Arthit Pier. 300 Baht.
- Green House (กรีนเฮ้าส์), 84 Rambuttri Rd (right next to Merry V Guesthouse), ☏ +66 8 6617-7717. A simple and functional guest house with 80 rooms close to Khao San Road. Some rooms are cleaner than others, so inspect before checking in. There's a wide range of rooms, including single, double and triple rooms with either fan or air-conditioning. Beside a guest house, it is also a restaurant, travel agency and internet cafe. 696 baht.

- Jam Hostel, 9 Phra Sumen Rd, Chana Songkhram, Phra Nakhon, ☏ +66 2 282 3932. Check-in: 14:00, check-out: 11:00. Nice beds, clean bathrooms, friendly staff, laundry available, full breakfast every morning, daily activities. Big common area including kitchen, seating area and a nice deck in the back overlooking the canal. 380 baht for dorm, 1500 baht for private.

- K.S. House (เคเอส เฮ้าส์), 133 Phra Sumen Rd (next to Siam Commercial Bank), ☏ +66 2 629-1763. Another budget guest house that offers 55 standard rooms with either a fan or air-conditioning. They have a great cafe/restaurant with nice food set on a rooftop. Breakfast not included even though the website says so. Also, the free Wi-Fi does not reach most rooms. They do have internet terminals in the lobby, but you have to pay a fee to use them. 350-520 baht.

- Lamphu House (ลำพู เฮ้าส์), 75 Soi Rambuttri (in the middle of Soi Rambuttri), ☏ +66 2 629-5861. Lamphu House is a resort-style guest house. Even its cheapest rooms have bamboo beds and rattan lamps, giving it a modern and airy feel. Cheap rooms only have a fan, shared bathrooms and no windows, while the more expensive rooms have air-conditioning, ensuite and balconies overlooking the courtyard. A big plus is that you can store your backpack here for about 10 baht a day. You don't need to be a hotel guest to use this service. There's no internet inside the rooms, only the lobby area. This hotel is very popular and you will need to book in advance. The chances of getting a room just walking in are slim. 400-980 baht.

- NapPark Hostel, 5 Tani Rd (near the Tani Road and Chakrabongse Road intersection), ☏ +66 2 282-2324. Absolutely great place to stay for backpackers as it has a Thai-style homey decoration with Thai cushions and garden surroundings. Rooms are dorms, but the bathrooms are among the cleanest of Khao San Road and there is free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the building. The English-speaking staff are really nice and ready to help you 24 hours a day. You can chill out at their chic and cosy coffee bar. 480-750 baht per person.

- New Central Guest House, 81/1 Wat Bowon Niwet, Phra Nakhon (in the alley behind Burger King), ☏ +66 89 511 4149. This is a very basic guest house with small rooms, but it is quite cheap (and close to Khao San Road). They have no facilities, except for a free Wi-Fi hotspot, which doesn't reach every room. Toilets can be broken, and then need a bucket to flush. Ensuite showers work fine though. The doors are locked at night, so knock hard to wake up the owner and he can let you in. Unfortunately popular with the older male contingent, who can be violent towards the guests — both the hotel's and their own. 200-300 baht.

- New Siam II (นิวสยาม 2), 50 Phra Athit Rd (right around the corner from Soi Rambuttri), ☏ +66 2 629 0101. Check-out: 11:00. This guesthouse is far enough off the main drag to be quiet, but close enough so you can still walk to Khao San Road. The rooms are fairly sized, clean and well-maintained. Most rooms are air-conditioned, have hot showers and have safe boxes available. The common area has a basic restaurant, a swimming pool, sofas, lockers and staff is available 24 hours. 690-840 baht.

- Penpark Place (เพ็ญภาค เพลส), 22 Samsen Soi 3 (a fair hike inside Soi 3), ☏ +66 2 281-4733. This hotel is quite far from Khao San Road, but on the plus side, that's why this hotel is in such a peaceful environment. It is a clean and quiet place with a nice garden and river view at the rooftop. Rooms are quite large with a wide window. High-speed internet and free Wi-Fi available. A good place to relax, meet friends, and to have an early-morning coffee. 450-750 baht.

- Rainbow Guest House (เรนโบว์ เกสท์เฮ้าส์), 43 Chakrabongse Rd, ☏ +66 2 280-6648. This place is basic, but its priced for it. They have air-conditioned dorm rooms that are good value. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, nice Indian food and beer, and free private security lockers for all guests (you can use your own padlock or borrow one of theirs). The noise can be troublesome though for the private rooms in the front, but the dorms in the back are quieter. dorm 150 baht, private room 350-600 baht.

- Rambuttri Village Inn (รามบุตรี วิลเลจ อินน์), 95 Soi Rambuttri (in the middle of Soi Rambuttri), ☏ +66 2 282-9162. Quiet series of uninspired buildings with small rooms, its main draw is its relaxing rooftop swimming pool. However, their website neglects to mention that it shuts down at 18:00 despite alluring photographs suggesting otherwise. Its rooms range from basic fan rooms to "deluxe" air-conditioned rooms. Biggest issue is the staff. If you have a problem, neither staff nor management will care about complaints nor will they offer refunds or compensation, even if it is the hotel's fault. They require a 1,000-baht refundable key deposit that can only be paid in cash (Thai baht only). If you cannot produce the deposit, they will not let you in your room even if you have already paid for it beforehand. There is no communal area. Free Wi-Fi. 700-1500 baht.

- Riverline Guesthouse, 59 1 Samsen 3 Alley, Khwaeng Wat Sam Phraya, Khet Phra Nakhon (at the top end of Khan San Road, take a right. Take a left just after crossing over the canal). Cheap and quiet. Family-run guesthouse. View of river from terrace. Free Wi-fi. Reports of scams and theft.

- Star Dome Inn (สตาร์ โดมอินน์), 104/1 Rambuttri Rd (in the road that runs parallel to Khao San Road in the north), ☏ +66 2 629-1136. All rooms have a private bathroom with cold water. Hot water is only available in the more expensive rooms. Internet is available for 60 baht per hour and there are laundry facilities. The inn is next to a disco/pub, so expect excessive noise in the lower floor rooms. 400-600 baht.

- Thai Cozy House (ไทย โคซี่ เฮ้าส์), 111/1-3 Tani Rd (at the Tani Road and Sip Sam Hang Road intersection), ☏ +66 2 629-5870. Family-run guest house with decent rooms that have cable TV, fridge, air-conditioning and hot shower. The cheaper rooms do not have windows. It is just far away enough from the crowds, but close enough to the action. They also have plenty of other services, including a restaurant, travel agent and internet. 550-1,000 baht.

中档
[]该地区有几家中等价位的酒店,配有游泳池、迷你酒吧等。中等价位涵盖了广泛的范围,从体面的三星级酒店到高端的招待所。 Phra Athit Road 是一个不错的开始寻找的地方,它毗邻湄南河,拥有一些更豪华的酒店。
- Amarin Inn (อัมรินทร์อิน), 96 Trok Surau Chakrabongse (from Santichaiprakan Park, walk to Phra Sumen Road, then pass the 7-Eleven and you'll see the Amarin Inn sign on the right), ☏ +66 2 282-2796. It is down a long alley — far away from the noise of the main street, but only a few minutes walk from the action. It is fairly clean and spacious rooms of an older style, all with air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. Guests are allowed onto the roof to look at the Bangkok skyline, a rarity in the area. Wi-Fi is available on all floors and there is a free internet terminal. 800-1,500 baht.

- Bhiman Inn (พิมาน อินน์), 55 Phra Sumen Rd (in the middle of Phra Sumen Road), ☏ +66 2 282-6171. This boutique hotel, with a rather odd logo, is a sister hotel of the Viengtai and is a bit cheaper. It is a fifteen-minute walk north of Khao San Road. Staff friendly, good swimming pool, but poor breakfast offering very little choice. 1,200-1,300 baht.

- Buddy Lodge (บัดดี้ ลอดจ์), BF, Buddy's Shopping Plaza, 265 Khao San Rd (in the shopping plaza behind Mulligans), ☏ +66 2 629-4477. One of the few mid-range hotels right on Khao San Road. Rooms are good with fridge, TV, phone and air conditioning. It has a great rooftop pool, balcony, room service, free Wi-Fi and bar. They also have a gym for 200 baht per day. 1,500-3,600 baht.

- Cha Cha Villa (โรงแรม วิลล่า ชาช่า), 36 Tani Rd (near the intersection with Chakrabongse Road), ☏ +66 2 280-1025. Nice looking boutique hotel that is especially worth it for its amazing jungle gardens that include a waterfall and a pool. It also has a nice garden restaurant. Rooms have all the amenities, including air-conditioning, cable TV, en-suite bathroom and coffee/tea facilities. The views are a bit deceiving though. Do not leave valuables from your room, as you have to be careful with the cleaning staff. There are also no lockers available. 1,450-2,750 baht.

- D&D Inn (ดี แอนด์ ดี อินน์), 68-70 Khao San Rd (at the police station side of Khao San Road), ☏ +66 6290 5268. A huge hotel (by Khao San Road standards) with a roof-top swimming pool, massage facilities, and a very clean and efficient 24 hour internet cafe. All rooms have attached bathrooms, air-conditioning, TV, and rates include breakfast and use of the pool. They do not allow check-in until after 13:00. 750-1,100 baht.

- Diamond House (ไดมอนด์ เฮาส์), 4 Samsen Rd, ☏ +66 2 629-4008. A chic boutique hotel in the quieter Samsen area. Cheaper-end rooms are small and do not have windows. Others overlook a canal. Chinese Taoist temple below. Spotlessly clean. Cosy Thai atmosphere. Warm and welcoming communal area. Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Rates online are much lower that walk-in rates. A seven to ten minute walk to Khao San Road. 900-2,000 baht.

- Khaosan Palace (ข้าวสาร พาเลซ อินน์), 139 Khao San Rd (in the middle of Khao San Road), ☏ +66 2 282-0578. A fairly basic guest house right in the middle of the action with an impressive Thai-style entrance and rooftop pool. The rooms are a bit on the small side, but always clean and include cable television, cold or hot shower and air-conditioning or fan. The pictures on their website do seem nicer than they are in reality though. Big downside of this hotel is the noise from nearby cafes, expect excessive noise till about 04:00 if your room is at the road side. 1,000 baht.

- New Siam River Side (นิวสยาม ริเวอร์ไซด์), 21 Phra Athit Rd (from Phra Arthit pier, take a right into Phra Athit Road and walk), ☏ +66 2 629-3535. A great location at the banks of the Chao Phraya River, with the express boat pier and the Khao San Road area closeby. If you're willing to pay extra for it, make sure that you actually book a "river view room", as many of the other ones face the road! Rooms are quiet, clean and just good. The breakfast is big and varied, and served buffet-style beside the pool and river. Definitely worth it. The attached restaurant can also be visited by non-guests and mains go for 100 baht or less. 1,590-2,590 baht.

- New World City Hotel (โรงแรม นิวเวิลด์ ซิตี้), 2 Samsen Rd (immediately take a right after crossing the canal at Chakrabongse Road), ☏ +66 2 281-5596. This hotel is for those on a lower mid-range budget. Rooms are okay, and some of them have a fun view over the canal. Some rooms are a bit dated though. It's only a short walk to Khao San Road, but is still far enough not to be annoyed by noise. 1,200-4,500 baht.

奢侈
[]- Baan Chantra, 120/1 Samsen Rd (walk north along Chakrabongse Road, cross the bridge, then a fair hike along Samsen Road, hotel on the right-hand side), ☏ +66 2 628-6988. Baan Chantra is an upmarket hotel in a beautiful Thai historic home dating from 1936. The front rooms overlook the busy road, but it is relatively quiet at night. The rooms are spotless with ensuites, air conditioning, mini-bar and a full breakfast. The staff are very helpful. 2,700-4,500 baht.

- (นวลัย ริเวอร์ รีสอร์ท), 45/1 Phra Athit Rd (in front of Phra Athit pier), ☏ +66 2 280-9955. Great riverside view of the Chao Phraya as you can hear the river flowing. The room looks spectacular; the style of the interior combines Thai traditional design with modern decoration. There's Wi-Fi available that works inside the rooms. Also has a great restaurant downstairs, the Aquatini Bar and Restaurant that is listed separately in the Eat section. 3,000-4,500 baht.

- Nouvo City Hotel, 2 Samsen Soi 2 (right next to the New World City Hotel, across from May Kaidee's 2), ☏ +66 2 282-7500. A new boutique hotel with very nice rooms, a roof-top swimming pool, complete spa, free Wi-Fi for guests and a halal restaurant. Buffet breakfast is included with the price. 2,800-15,000 baht.

- Viengtai Hotel (โรงแรม เวียงใต้), 42 Rambuttri Rd (at the road that runs parallel to Khao San Road in the north), ☏ +66 2 280-6434. This hotel is a popular choice for Thais visiting Bangkok. Rooms are large and have air conditioning, but are not really inspiring and the ones facing the road can be noisy because of the bars. It has a big pool. The staff are superbly efficient and friendly as they are in most hotels. The breakfast is superb, offering many choices among different cuisines. 2,400-5,200 baht.

应对
[]There are plenty of places around Khao San that do your laundry. The general tariff is around 25-40 baht per kilo, and it's ready to be picked up the next day. Look around, as some laundromats even offer same-day pickup if you bring it in before 15:00. The Rambuttri Village Inn offers luggage storage for 20 baht per day.
If you don't stay at the road, toilets can be difficult to find. There is a reasonably clean one inside Buddy's Shopping Plaza — walk all the way in and take a right before entering Brick Bar. Price is 5 baht, but there are long queues at busy nights. Another public toilet can be found all the way inside Sunset Street, passing Starbucks on the left. Entry 5 baht. You can also try Burger King at the eastern end of the road.
注意安全
[]
Khao San Road is the worst district in Bangkok when it comes to scams and annoyances. Be very skeptical of anyone telling you that your intended destination is closed. If someone offers you a free whole-day tuk-tuk ride, smile faintly and keep on walking. If you agree to this, you probably will get a free tuk-tuk ride all day, but the only thing you will see are dozens of shops where you get tricked into buying worthless gems, while the driver gets a commission. Never enter a tuk-tuk if someone else is trying to get you into one. A recent scam involves cheap transport offers to discos, massage parlours etc. late at night. The unwary who take up these offers will find themselves dropped off on a quiet street (shortcut), where the tuk-tuk has accomplices waiting to assault and rob any gullible tourists. Better pull over a taxi yourself.
Beware of private bus companies around Khao San Road offering direct trips from Bangkok to other cities with "VIP buses". Some are reputable and will be able to provide you with a great deal, but many of them are shopfronts for scam artists and dodgy services. The so-called direct "VIP" trips may end up changing three or four uncomfortable minibuses to the destination, and the 10-11 hour trip may as well turn into 17–18 hours. Also, you are likely to be hit for extra charges for various dubious services along the way and many operators will intentionally slow down the journey so you arrive in the middle of the night and can be coaxed into choosing their guest house — invariably the crappiest place, but pays the agency the highest commissions. Worst of all, since you have paid in advance, you have no recourse of any kind when this happens. Trips to Siem Reap in Cambodia are notorious for this. You can ask around Khao San Road, as a lot of people start and end their journeys there, and use an agent which another traveller has used without any hassles. But it is probably a better idea to do the trips independently using public BKS buses from the main bus terminals.
Beware of the travel agent shops throughout Bangkok offering travel packages; day trips, and tickets to tourists attractions. Often you will be taken to one of these travel agent shops as a stop on a tuk-tuk ride but do not purchase anything from these shops as they are not regulated in anyway, do not be fooled by the 'certificates' and stamps of approval as all the shops easily forge such documents. The scammers are professionals at persuading you to believe that they are the cheaper than doing it off your own back but this is not true. South-East Asia is one of the only places in the world that it is actually effective to travel as you go, which is why large travel companies such as STA Travel do not find it worthwhile investing in packages in Thailand, they only offer flights and upper market hotels because it is cheaper to book accommodation, domestic travel and tourist attractions on your own and from the hostels, train stations, and tourist attractions respectively. A common trick to sell you the package they want is to tell you that some islands are full of wild animals at a certain time of year or that boats do not go to these specific destinations. Please do not be fooled, almost all of your holiday preparation can be done from reading articles at home, these tourist shops can sell within their own network and you will end up in the worst locations in terms of accommodation.
The police station, at the western end of Khao San Road, could be a valuable resource for travellers in trouble. However, extreme caution should be exercised when asking them for advice with regards to booking tickets — they will often arrange a tuk-tuk to an "approved agency" for you (which seems great and normally a better deal than you would be able to arrange), but the prices offered by the agency they send you to may be 2-3 times the price you could get elsewhere. Often, the tuk-tuk driver, on seeing you come out of the first agency without having bought a ticket, will take you to a second agency "...for no extra..." only to have the same or similar price quoted.
Be sure to read the Stay safe section of the main Bangkok article for other scams you should look out for.
连接
[]Sawasdee Bangkok Inn has three computers set up that cost 10 baht for 15 minutes of surfing. It is a short walk through an alley in the middle of Khao San Road. The standard rate in the area is about 1 baht for 1 minute. Be aware that some cafes have applied limitations on their terminals, such as on printing documents and saving digital files — check whether this is the case before paying for it.
You can send (and even receive) post at one of the area's two post offices. Ratchadamnoen Post Office is a short walk through the alley behind Burger King. Banglamphubon Post Office is not far either; it's in front of Wat Bowonniwet. From the eastern side of Khao San Road, just follow Tanao Road in northwards direction and take a right at the roundabout.
下一站
[]Famous sites within walking distance from Khao San Road include the Grand Palace (with Wat Phra Kaeo), Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Sanam Luang, Wat Ratchanaddaram and the Golden Mount. See Rattanakosin for details. There are also some more adventurous options
- If you're up for a fun walk, hike to the Royal Barges National Museum at the other side of the river in Thonburi. The walking tour goes over the Pinklao Bridge, through a typical folk neighbourhood (follow the signs) and ends with the royal barges.
- Only on weekends, the Taling Chan Floating Market in Thonburi can be reached by bus 79 from Ratchadamnoen Klang Road. Ask a local where to get off or you might get lost.
