If the original poster takes nothing else from this thread I hope he

couldn't find a worse area in Bangkok.

Everything you see or hear wrong about backpackers and foreign
travellers is on display there. No one in his right mind goes there.


Then why is it becoming a hot spot for young and trendy Thai people
looking for a night out?

It's not.

Were you able to see past all the street stalls and fake ID's or do
you have a very narrow range of vision?

And past the drug dealers, the $2 a night cockroach infested guest
houses, the farang drunks staggering down the street, the scammers
trying to rip of the drunk farangs, the police looking for visa
over-stayers, that "range of vision"?
