In Bangkok's largest accommodation district, Car Osan called the sacred place of backpackers is on Chakrupon street heading north from the Royal Palace square.

"Khaosan" means rice milling name The name of this street comes from "Trooke · Khao San", or "Rice mill path".

Currently "Khao San Road" was created in the era of Lama 5, and once the shops selling polished rice were lined up, it seems that the name of a narrow road called a milled rice path was used as it was.

After that, it became a shopping district that also sells things other than milled rice, as the 1983 Year of the 200 Anniversary Festival was held, the number of foreign tourists visiting Bangkok has increased, and it is now often chosen as the location of the movie .

When the location team came to "Khao San", a guest house renting vacant rooms appeared as a result of borrowing an empty room of a private house, "Khao San" changed as Bangkok's largest guesthouse town.

The price of a simple guesthouse is inexpensive, backpackers from all over the world began to pour, and crowds, restaurants, bars and the like for travelers stayed on the street to be called "sacred ground of backpackers" .

Backpackers traveling not only in Thailand but also in Myanmar, Cambodia, India and Nepal, for a while ago, first got information based on "Khaosan" and purchased airline tickets, but in recent years We began to do everything on the net, and the number of customers came less than at peak hours.

However, there are also backpackers visiting "Khaosan" for long-distance buses and local-origin tours that can not be booked online, and even now they still have a strong popularity.
