I wouldn't recommend staying there or going there unless you are on an
absolute minimal budget or you want to meet other travellers. There
are far more interesting places and much better hotels, restaurants,
and bars elsewhere in Bangkok.

It's an excellent place to organise trips which use Bangkok as a hub.
Easy to get visas, plane tickets, tours etc.

It is odd to consider Khao San an utterly sinful place. About any leisure
zone in Europe is about as "naughty" (I don't think I will ever visit Ibiza,
at least not during July or August). Okay, I have recognized a few painted
women at the Gulliver's bar. The place should also be so bloody "genuinely
Thai" (whatever that is). Whenever one is sipping beers under the open
skies, he should do so with aboriginals. This is most demanding in Asia
where public house tradition is so much different from Europe. On the whole,
I do also find the strech of asphalt a place of Sodom and Gomorrah. I have
escaped bounding brimstone myself.
