You
can completely disagree with my opinion, but I do like Khao San Road area. I
know it’s very touristic, but c’mon…I’m talking about the good street food,
bars, yes tourists oohh tourists, those small streets and local people that
eventually became a very interesting objects photography. Plus, it takes just couple of minutes
walk-distance to see the Democracy Monument, Phra Sumen Fort, Phra Atit road,
Santichaiprakarn park ( well nothing really special with the park, but I loved just hanging out there, people
watching…you know when you get to see what’s around you just like a mini
sitcom on television ), and The Golden Mount…So yeah, Khao San Road is not that
bad overall.
My
second day in Khao San Road, I woke up around 6.00 am. The rooftop pool in
D&D Inn was closed and the restaurant served breakfast at 8.30 am, got no
choice, I decided to walk around the neighborhood. Gotta explore this place before moving to the city centre this afternoon to see my special people. Good to see Khao San Road
street was empty for a while, since I didn’t have any Bangkok map with me - I just
ended up walking with no direction. The street signs led me to Phra Atit Road,
Santichaiprakarn park, then Phra Arthit pier where you can take the Chao Praya
Express Boat to see Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun and the city centre.
Walking back to Khao San Road, I continued my morning walk to Democracy
Monument then The Golden Mount.
Located
in 344 Avenue Road Emperor Pong Ban Bat. Pom Prap Sattru Phai
district, Wat Saket or The Golden
Mount opens everyday from 9 am to 5.30 pm, with admission fee THB20. Pretty nice panorama of Rattanakosin from the
top of the Golden Mount, was well worth a visit :)
