Khaosan Road And Return

Khaosan Road was another bit of Bangkok we did not see in 2008, and, as one of the world's great backa-packa ghettos, it was something I wanted to see. It's also the last stop on the hop-on/hop-off boat. And no, we did not see a ping-pong show.

Khaosan Road itself is less than a kilometer long, but the roads leading to it from
the river are pretty much the same scene

Did the Dude visit Thailand? We know he smoked Thai stick...

Are we back in Edinburgh?! No, it's the Golden Johnnie Walker

The Google Maps route to Khaosan Road led through this
and other interesting alleys

Finally, we are there

Grilled scorpion anyone?

Maybe some crocodile roti?

Well, one out of four isn't bad

On the return up the river
