Popular Post bob smith Posted March 13 Popular Post Share Posted March 13 (edited) over the weekend I was in Bangkok visiting an old friend and he took me out for the day. We landed at Khaosan road around 4pm. for the first 2/3 hours it was OK, the smell of weed was in the air and everyone was pretty chill. then nighttime came. the first big speakers were wheeled out in front of us and the music was deafening. then next door did the same, then the next bar, and then next next. until it was a complete mish mash of noise and blare. the music on offer was a horrendous mix of EDM and pop song remixes. Laughing gas was being tooted right out of the cannister by almost everyone around us. it was so loud we could no longer hold a coherent conversation over our beer and I could hardly hear myself think. We lasted 20 minutes in that atmosphere before we got in a taxi and headed back to his place. This was the first time I had been to khaosan road in years. What has happened? is this chaos being organized by someone? is there some kind of committee that meets up and allows this to happen? i'm sure that many locals in that area are not happy with what is currently going on, not to mention holidaymakers with hotel windows facing directly on to the road itself.. bob.
