For me, Khao San road was seen rather quickly. Lots of people, lots of bars, lots of services (Fish massage! Feed our hungry fish with you dead skin!) and lots of food stands. If you are in to drinking and clubbing I guess it really is the place to be. At least you might want to check it out. Personally I am planning on taking an overnight train to Malaysia tomorrow. I haven't got a ticket but am still kind of hoping I can get one from the train station tomorrow...
Here is some price information:
Bus to Khao San road from airport, 150 baht
Single room in Khao San, 250 baht
Internet: 20-40 baht/hour
Pad Thai from a street stall: 20-40 baht (veggie-chicken)
The Pad Thais are really nice. Cooked in front of you and you are free to cast in the desired amount of spices yourself. So if you want to eat cheap, take a veggie portion (add 5baht for one egg) and throw in as many spoonfuls of crushed peanuts as you dare. The egg and nuts should keep you filled for a while. But be careful with the chili, no matter how delicious it might look and how accustomed to it you think you are. :)
Otherwise Bangkok is one of the largest cities I've been in with only London coming close and Mumbai topping it. And from an overall view, Bangkok has a lot more of a metropolitan view to it with more skyscrapers and more rats than the two combined. Nice place to stop by, but staying here now would have made for a quite a boring blog. So hopefully tomorrow I will be southbound.
