Eating on Khaosan Road
Khao San Road on Friday night is full of foreign travellers and thai teenagers who come to clubs on Khao San Road. Normally on weekdays, most people in Khao San Road are foreign travellers. But on the weekends, that is , on Friday and Saturday night, most of the visitors to the palce are Thai teenagers. They come to Khao San Road for drinks and dances at the clubs that have been mushrooming all over the area.
Besides, Khao San Road is still full of lots of interesting things such as the street vendors. You can buy some delicious foods at very cheap prices. The most famouse menu from these street vendors is Phad Thai( Thai fried noodles). You can eat Phad Thai for only 10 baht for regular serving and 15 baht for Phad Thai with egg. But Phad Thai on Khao San Road is not the most delicious . These Phad Thai dishes have no shrimps or any meat, just vegetables and some egg as an option. But it is still good to try, the taste is okay and seems to be delicious when you are hungry.
If you want to try a great Phad Thai, you can try it at Thipsamai Restaurant. This restaurant is only 10 minutes’ walk from Khao San Road. You can see the map from the restaurant’s web site.
Another interesting vendor is Fried Insect Vendor. Thailand has a great dish from insects . Fried insect is a must try.Those who have tried it say it is great. But I never try it .. ha ha. You can buy this fried insects from the vendor around Khao San Road. Someone told me that it is very delicious. But some other also told me that it is not. So it is up to you, you can decide after you try it. Good Luck !!!
Almost everything is available on Khao San Road. You can see live broadcasting of soccer matches from the U.K, Germany or Italy and some movies in restaurants along Khao San Road. The day I spent the time on the road,there was a live soccer match between Manchester United and Tottenham Hot Spurs. There was a big screen of a live soccer match beside the street. Most people who love soccer stopped by and watched the match.
