| Khaosan Road in the afternoon |
Hi
all! Today I want to talk about one of tourist attractions in Thailand. I know
someone know this place well if you ever come to Thailand or being interested
in travelling in Thailand. That is Khaosan Road!!.
Khaosan
road is the famous lane in Bangkok. There are lots of tourist accommodations with
cheap price. It’s full of shops ,bars ,Thai restaurants ,massage and foreigner!.
Moreover, here are a lot of tourist agencies. You can buy tourist package or
take a van to other tourist attraction in Thailand such as Ko tao, Samui or Ko
pra-ngan.

| He's very popular. There are lots of tourists want to take some photos with him. |
Even
if Khaosan road is famous in Thailand, I’ve never been to here before until today.
I came here today because I just wanted to know how it is. Why do lots of
foreigner tourists want to come here? It’s a simple place for me.
While
I was walking to Khaosan road and almost arrived at there, I met few of
foreigner tourists passing me. They said “Sawasdeeka/krub”,that means ‘Hi’, to
me. When I stopped walking for letting them pass me first, because the street
to Khaosan road is narrow, They said “Khob Khun ka/Krub”,that mean ‘Thank you’,
and smiled to me. I felt very good with them. I think they learned Thai a bit
before coming here.
When
I arrived at Khaosan road, I was surprised. It’s full of foreigner. This place
could be ‘Free Thais area’. I found Thai people very little. Most Thais are
merchants. Here can be called ‘international street’.
There
is another something I’m surprised. I saw lots of merchants who were selling
suit. They aren't Thais but they are Indian.

| Tuk-Tuk, I suggest you take it to anywhere close form here. It's very fun!! |
I
found most foreigner tourists here learn another Thai word that is ‘Mai aou
ka/krub’ means ‘I don’t want it’. Because merchants here try to recommend
something to sell to tourists and I found tourists said “Mai aou ka’krub” immediately.
Certainly,
when you come here, you will see merchants try to sell something to you such as
suit, tourist package or even grilled scorpion. You may be annoyed sometimes.
If you aren’t interested in theirs, just say refuse to them.
I
heard that Khaosan road at night is very fun. I regret that I could be here
late because I came here alone. It would be not safe for me when I was on the
way home.
For
me, I think I love people here. They are friendly. I saw lots of tourists look happy to be here.
Looking tourists happy to travel in Thailand
is my happiness even if I don’t do anything to them.
