Banglamphu is a district home to a very lively travelers scene, due to the mass numbers of budget accommodation located along Khao San Road. Here, one can find an extensive market selling a huge range of goods, ranging from cheap clothes to Thai handicrafts, a perfect place for souvenirs. The backstreets here retain a genuinely Thai atmosphere, much more so than Bangkok's other main tourist attractions such as Silom and Sukhumvit, making visiting this neighborhood an interesting experience for travelers.
Just an interesting note, the start to the movie The Beach was set on Khao San Road.
Khao San Road
Developed over the years into probably the most profound worldwide example of a "backpackers' ghetto", with cheap accommodation compared to other areas of central Bangkok.
Khao San Road as well as the adjacent alley-ways are packed with inexpensive clothing, cheap tee-shirts, bootleg CDs, small wooden carvings of animals, hemp clothing, pillows, watches, pins, all the necessary backpacker travel items.
Democracy Monument
A public monument in the centre of Bangkok,built to commemorate the nation's transition from absolute to constitutional monarchy in 1932.
Khao San Road as well as the adjacent alley-ways are packed with inexpensive clothing, cheap tee-shirts, bootleg CDs, small wooden carvings of animals, hemp clothing, pillows, watches, pins, all the necessary backpacker travel items.
