Khao San Road

We arrived at Khao San Road after about 40 minutes. The taxi man was not allowed to drive down that street so we were dropped at the end of the street and made our way up on foot. There were hundreds, maybe thousands of people walking on the street, stalls were everywhere selling everything from lighters to raw fish.
Every so often though, we would find ourselves down wind from the smell that is Thailand. It seems to be a sewage smell but sometimes it can really make you feel ill.
We headed towards the D&D Inn as we had attempted to book a room there through the internet before we left but got no reply. The place was full and so we went back out on the street to look elsewhere. We tried the Khao San Palace Inn, who had some rooms available, so we went up to view one. It was decent enough and was only 700 baht (15 euro) so we took that room on a per night basis.
We had a tv, air con, and our own shower, as well as two decent enough beds so we were happy enough there. It was time to unload the bags and see what was in store for us on the street.

Surprisingly, we only got as far as the Irish bar a few doors down from there...
