Comment from John Reality
Though known as a “backpackers’ ghetto,” Bangkok‘s famous Khao San Road is now brimming with upscale amenities including spas, boutiques, salons, fine dining, and even a Starbucks. The budget-minded need not fear, however, as the “bed in a box” hotels, street food, and illicit activities are still accessible and make the area one of the best places in city to try and stretch a buck (or a baht, as it were).
