10 years living in Thailand - A life stage diary, an incredible adventure and life experience (2)
KHAO SAN ROAD
"We are all travelers
in one way or another
in search of a truth,
a light that will lead us in
our quest.
Adventures that will fill you,
our spirit and soul.
An exploration beyond
what can ever be imagined."
Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round, for I have a tale to tell about a place that is as vibrant and lively as a disco ball on a Saturday night. Welcome to Khao San Road, the beating heart of Bangkok, Thailand!
Now, let me paint a picture for you. Imagine a street that is bustling with backpackers from all corners of the globe, each with their own unique story to tell. Khao San Road is like a melting pot of cultures, where you can find a mishmash of languages, accents, and fashion styles. It's a place where you can witness the world coming together in a harmonious chaos.
But what makes Khao San Road truly special? Well, my friends, it's the perfect concoction of cheap accommodations, mouthwatering street food, and an endless array of shops selling everything from funky souvenirs to elephant pants (because who doesn't need a pair of those?).
As you stroll down this vibrant street, you'll be serenaded by the sounds of live music pouring out of the bars and clubs. It's like a symphony of laughter, clinking glasses, and the occasional off-key rendition of a popular song. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not try your hand at a game of "Find the Scorpion" or "Eat the Fried Insects"? It's an experience you won't soon forget!
Now, let's talk about the nightlife. Khao San Road truly comes alive after the sun sets. It's a place where the party never stops, and the night owls come out to play. From rooftop bars with stunning views to neon-lit clubs that will make your head spin, there's something for everyone. Just be prepared for the occasional enthusiastic stranger trying to sell you a bucket of questionable concoctions. Cheers!
But Khao San Road isn't just about the party scene. It's also a gateway to some of Bangkok's most iconic landmarks. Just a stone's throw away, you'll find the majestic Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, where you can marvel at the intricate architecture and immerse yourself in the rich history of Thailand. It's the perfect balance between cultural exploration and letting loose like there's no tomorrow.
So, my dear friends, if you're looking for a place that will ignite your senses, tickle your funny bone, and leave you with memories to last a lifetime, look no further than Khao San Road. It's a place where adventure meets laughter, where strangers become friends, and where the spirit of exploration is alive and kicking. Embrace the chaos, soak up the energy, and let Khao San Road weave its magic on you. Safe travels, and may your journey be filled with laughter and unforgettable moments!

After landing at Bangkok airport I took a taxi and was driven to Khao San Road where I had booked a cheap hotel room for a few days. There are travel agencies on every corner from where you can book tours throughout Thailand very cheaply, much cheaper than with a travel agency in your home country and they all speak English, so it's very easy.
So I checked into the hotel, it was clean but not very demanding, no problem, I didn't want to live in the hotel, I just wanted to sleep 😆. After putting my clothes away, I took a shower and then went outside again.

It was mid-morning so I decided to stroll around and discover Khao San Road. When you come out of the cooled hotel room, you feel like you're walking into a wall, it's extremely humid with extremely high humidity and the temperature is 35 degrees. But I got used to it very quickly. In Thailand it is very important to always have a copy of your passport with you, so I looked for a copy shop and made a few copies.

Now my stomach was telling me I was hungry. I was looking for a restaurant with outdoor seating. I soon found a cool location and sat down at a free table. And wow, here on Khao San Road you don't need a cinema, you sit in one, and what a cinema it is. Khao San is the meeting point for all backpackers from all over the world when they visit Thailand. Here they hang out for a few days and book their tours. It is a melting pot of different nations, languages and cultures, colorful, thousands of smells from the many food stalls and street food stalls, impressions rain down on you like never before in your life.
And while I was sitting in that restaurant, something very extraordinary happened for my inexperience with Thiland at the time...
Stay tuned to see what will happen, you will find out shortly..... To be continued soon.....
