Slightly more expensive than the run-of-the-mill establishments, and much less expensive than the 4 and 5 star hotel spas. However, there are legitimate massage parlors all over Bangkok. See last Sunday's NY Times Travel section for "in" night spots. Assuming you don't mean "night spots". Larry |

It is known as the backpackers area, lots of reasonably priced hotels, boarding houses, and plenty of bars, lots of Farangs who can give advice, and some genuine massage parlours too, (as well as a few of the other type!). I would avoid Cowboy, and particularly Patpong until you have been in BKK for a few days, as if it is clear that you have "just arrived" you will be fair game. BKK is a big place and you need lots of time to really get to know it. Fatman |

I find it a pretty cozy place with beer and internet joints. The hotel scene is truly poor. Perhaps those who spend 100 bahts for their accommodation may find the neighbourhood decent. Location is good though. Ratanakosin, Pahurat, Chinatown, Dusit and the river are not far away. |

I'd recommend heading there after a day or two in Bangkok... not your first night. It's great fun though, so highly recommended. -- fiddlewidawiddum |

"I wouldn't advise anyone to start at Khao San. In fact, I'd suggest
that anyone who really wants to see and understand the city should avoid it at all costs !!!" For those who don't know, Khao San is basically a street a few blocks long devoted to backpackers and their various needs. Khao San and its sidestreets are full of dirt-cheap guesthouses (US$3-5 per night is common), Internet cafes, discount travel agencies, stalls selling jewelry, used books, pirated CDs and DVDs, and pseudo-Asian clothing like sarongs, and inexpensive outdoor restaurant/bars that have Western food and cheap beer and show pirated DVDs. Since it's really cheap to stay there and hang out, a lot of travellers spend several days there while they wait for visas or wait for a flight out. You will meet people from all over the world (lots of Germans, Australians, and Israelis especially), but you will rarely meet Thais who don't work there. 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. |
