I have been in Khaosan road, The BACKPACKERS HEAVEN, In bangkok and stay there for 15days, i enjoy going out and see the the bangkok has to offer.
Just from the airport I go directly to the city, I ask the driver where is the best place to stay for a tourist like me. he referred me to khaosan road,and we get there. When I see it its just a normal view the same like what i always see in manila, The people on the street, vendors, shops etc etc. I walk around and look for a nice place to sleep at least for the night. I was surprise there are so many guest house in there ranging from 100 baht(3USD) 300 baht per night, this one is a single room some with air con and some just have fan. If you want the nice one you can have it as there are also a hotels around kahosan. In the afternoon you'll see a lot of vendors around selling things like pirated Cd's, magazines, street food, clothing, services like tattoos, ear piercing almost everything you want kahosan road has it. In the night the street is very live and loud, the bars are open and people are enjoyng to party. you can drink and be drunk on the street. Diffierent nationalities from white to black, asian and arabic are there to enjoy, drink and be drunk. The food are cheap as 10 baht for one phad thai, There are also 24 hours open 7 eleven where in you can also buy alcoholic beverages etc. I was thinking these people really are enjoying there life in bangkok. They can have everything they want in bangkok. no to much restriction s on almost eveything. But of course the place are safe as the police station is just around the corner, but it doesnt stop the people to party and be what they want.
Around 2 am as the people are drunk ansd some are sleeping on the sidewalk, people are less and this is the time the ladies are out for their business. Yea prostitution is all over the place, and you know what some of them are not really a ladies they are LADY BOY. You will not notice it,coz they are more beautiful than the real lady. They will just approaches you in the steet touches you etc til they convince you to go with them. And they have room somewhere out there.
It's nice that I've been there. I learned things. Bangkok is a nice place to live the GOOD LIFE.
