I suppose, at one time, Khaosan Road was a funky, hip place to go. Maybe even a bit quaint but not anymore. It's a noisy, raucous street party and that's not a bad thing, just a different thing. I like to call it Chaos and Road. The street is closed to vehicles and has shops, bars and restaurants lining both sides. It's a place where you can eat fish or have the fish eat you. They have tanks of live minnows that gnaw away at your tired, scaly feet leaving you feeling fresh and revived. Or maybe snacking on deep fried scorpions or tarantulas are more to your taste. Henna tattoos and hair braiding abound. The bars open onto the street and hawkers are constantly trying to sell to the patrons. Their wares ranged from brass knuckles and tasers to children's toys and souvenirs. 

We walked, talked and bar hopped. It was a hot and humid night and after a few hours we were happy to leave the party.
