Khaosan road or Khao San road (Thai: ถนนข้าวสาร) is a short road in central Bangkok, Thailand. It is located in the Banglamphu neighborhood (Phra Nakhon district) about 1 km north from the The Grand Palace adjoins Wat Phra Kaew. It has developed over the years into probably the most profound worldwide example of a "backpackers' heaven", with relatively affordable accommodation.
Over the years, Khao San road has evolved into a hip and trendy area among the Bangkokian youngish crowd. Strollers can find lots of interesting and theme restaurants and bars. The area has also become a famous location for the "Songkran" festival - or Thai New Year where the water-throwing fun is part of the festivity.
