Bangkok, Thailand: Khaosan Road
From Cambodia, Rion, Emma (our travel buddy), and I took an ocean ferry to Thailand border. The nearest town of Trat is a 90-km truck-taxi ride, and from there, it is a short 6-hour bus ride to Bangkok. Bangkok is a huge, modern city, but most budget travellers stay on or near Khaosan road, a paradise of good, cheap street food and guesthouses, shopping, and people-watching.
Khaosan road, with all the conveniences, including a Starbucks
A tuk tuk (esentially a motorcycle on 3 wheels, with a seat in the back) is the cheapest way to get around town, but around Khaosan road, you really have to haggle hard, because the drivers assume you don't know any better.
Want a yummy meal for under a dollar? Pad thai street noodles and a couple of eggrolls. Yum.
Classic Vespas are everywhere here.
