Khao San Road reinvents itself - foreigners have disappeared so businesses focus on Thais

Featured Replies

The Thais killed the KSR vibe well over 10 years ago. It used to be a fun place back in the 90's and early 00's but they just couldn't leave it alone.

    I was there last month. Place is ruined. Not even a 7-11 to be seen.  A lot of cops and young thai's high on drugs. Very loud music too.   I saw some farang family come along and were forced to leave

Thailand is finished. Will be many years before substantial #s of foreign tourists return. They can thank their good buddy China. 

What does it have to do with China?

Looking at the prospects for 2022 that's a wise move... I just wonder why he didn't think of it at the end of 2020?

Because they were talking about every farang (not Thai) would have to be tested for covid, and pay for it, before entering.  That kind of racism tends to not attract customers.  If true then no wonder now left with only Thais.

So where am I supposed to buy a broken down copy of The Beach or The DaVinci code now?

and to watch Bridge on the River Kwai??  I found the place was good for a visit, crazy Songkran events, and a good stepping stone but could never understand the places full of backpackers who travelled 1000's of kms to watch an old movie lol!
