The Behind Story of Khao San Road, Bangkok

If you have watch the movie, The Beach (which starring Leonardo DiCaprio) and 

The Hangover 2 (which starring Bradley Cooper ) you might saw an instant glance of the street as there are few scene were recorded at the famous street, Khao San Road.

So, what about Khao San Road?  What make this place so famous?

The original or the real name of the place is Khao San but somehow are famously known as Khao San Road due to its location, a two way street fulls with hawkers, street carts and it's close with the Bangkok city's attractions. 

Years later, it become 'the backpackers heaven' or 'the backpackers Mecca', as it fulls with backpackers from all around the world.

The guesthouse around here, are not so bad too. They're still cheap, affordable and comfortable.

And the best part of Khao San are it is the spot that have almost everything.

The culture, the street/city life, and the nightlife was uniquely different.

Before Khao San is known as the backpackers Mecca, it use to be a local neighborhood. But due to it strategic location, travelers who come to Bangkok City will rent a room from the local residents. 

So, years after years they come up with an idea to reform the neighborhood as a tourist attractions spot. 

Tadaaaa! 

More guesthouses are build and there are a museum too!

Once you've arrived in Khao San, spend some times to discover the history of Khao San at the Khao San Museum. It's worth the visit and worth to be add on your bucket list ;)
