Khaosan is a pretty big rip off though. As far as goods go, things were pretty overinflated, even compared to other tourist places we hit.
Khaosan Road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"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 Grand Palace with Wat Phra Kaew. It has developed over the years into probably the most profound worldwide example of a 'backpackers' ghetto', with relatively cheap accommodation compared to other areas of central Bangkok. The accommodation varies from 'mattress in a box' style hostels, to full Western-standard luxury."
Irony is when a Thai lady yells "no pictures" when you take a snap of the oh-so-very authentic IDs they're selling all over the place. Yeah, whatever you say, lady.
Cindi did get a good deal on some leg waxing though. Aren't you glad you know that?
