Evening in Rattanakosin Tour
Khao San Road is the backpackers mecca of the city. Tourists are everywhere, but also locals go here for a good night out. To get there from the park, walk onto Phra Athit and take a left onto Soi Chana Songkhram, the little alley next to 7 Eleven. You can get a Thai massage around here, or try to buy some clothes or books you have been looking for. When you walked through Soi Rammbutri, take a right and make a short walk on the big Chakra Bongse Road. On the right side, you will see Wat Chana Songhkram. Be careful when crossing the street to Khao San Road.
Khao San Road is a great place for eating cheap dinner. One of the best medium priced restaurants in the area is Tom Yum Kung Restaurant. It might look sleazy when judging from the big neon sign outside, but it's square is actually very classy in traditional Thai style. An obvious treat here is Tom Yum Goong, but try some of their delicious seafood. If you're on a budget, just go to one of the carts selling Pad Thai for B50.
Plenty of locals go to Khao San Road just for it's nightlife. There are plenty of sports bars, Irish pubs and clubs here, so there must be something of your liking. A popular place is Brick Bar, in the alley behind McDonald's (where you can also find the toilets). Be sure to bring your passport with you, as identification is compulsory. Inside, you'll find an old fashioned Western style bar with performing bands.
Families could sit outside in one of the numerous sidewalk cafes. Recently opened is Mulligans Irish Pub, where you can chill outside and drink a beer for B80. It's a good place for conversations, as they do not have any loud music outside. Yet, the bar at the other side does have loud music, so the atmosphere is still fine. Khao San Road is a great place for just watching people go by.
Getting back to Sukhumvit or Silom at night is a bit of a pickle. Your best bet is to take a metered taxi, which will cost you around B150.
