Khaosan road or Khao San road 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\”, with relatively cheap accommodation compared to other areas of central Bangkok. The accommodation varies from \’mattress in a box\’ style hostels, to full Western-standard luxury.
