I second that - I would actually go so far as to say that the majority of visitors to KSR (at least on weekends) are Thais. Some great bars down there, and judging from some of the cars and motorbikes parked in the vicinity, not exclusively for backpackers..... You should try to get out of lower Suk some time!

I was in Khaosan about 4 weeks ago on a saturday.
It was crowded as usual on weekends. At 1 oīclock most places have to close. Got damn crowded at the road then. Many drunken ppl. First fight started between about 5 local indian boys and 2 farang kids. The farangs could run away. Quite some tension remains. Then I saw 2 thai groups starting a confrontation. That kind of schoolkid thai guys who are allways up to troubles. That old fights between schools. My gf saw it too. We know what it means We reacted a bit slow. We were out and relaxed, I had quite some drinks. We started to run as all other ppl started to run. The fight started. Knifes, sticks, some guys broke bottles. About 50 ppl fighting now, some young farangs too, but mainly that ****ty thai schoolboys. We were damn lucky, cause the road was so crowded cause of the damn 1 oīclock closing. Pity that that asshole taksin has not to go out like normal ppl do. Anyway, we made it into mcdonalds, which is protected by guards. 15 minutes later the road war cleared by ****loads of police. From everything. Not one street vendor was left. Nothing on any news the next day, so nobody died or was seriously insured I guess. We sweared never to come back. It felt like beeing on RCA a few years ago at the wrong time at weekends. Well, a few days later we were back. My favourite watering hole is there. I donīt like Khaosan. But I donīt like many things. Gullivers in Khaosan for example. Could be an acceptable place. But pestered with unbelievable weird whores. I donīt mind whores. Many places without whores can be horribly boring. Itīs thailand, itīs Bkk. But that Khaosan kind of whores are out of everything. It has become a weird place. Karl |
