This is where some parts of the movie were filmed and is one of the best in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great option is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charbangkok.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CHAR Bangkok<\/a>. I was staying in this hotel during a recent visit and couldn&#8217;t miss checking out their impressive Skybar. There are insane views across the Bangkok skyline and over the nearby parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware that these views are not usually seen by travelers on a budget. So, I recommend those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/backpacking-bangkok\/\">backpacking Bangkok<\/a> put on their best clothes. That means no jandals and elephant pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not the cheapest way to spend an evening.

It&#8217;s a bit of a drive, about an hour, but you&#8217;ll also stop for a bathroom break and snacks along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First off, you will visit a small salt farm off the main road. This is just a short stop here while you wait to catch the train to the Maeklong Railway Market. This means you will get to experience the market on the train itself, as well as on the ground, a short while later, during your shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The train comes through eight times each day. This means if you visit without a tour, you&#8217;ll need to make sure you around to catch the train at either: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>6:20 am<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8:30 am<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9:00 am<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11:10 am<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11:30 am<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2:30 pm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3:30 pm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5:40 pm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Just note to prepare for the train to arrive a few minutes early or late as it doesn&#8217;t run perfectly on time. Nevertheless, you will hear it coming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of cafes and stalls are set up alongside the railway tracks, so make sure to bring some cash!

This is the place for all things weird and wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of restaurants to choose from for dinner, though I recommend moving one street over to Rambuttri Alley rather than eating on Khao San Road itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for street food, head a few streets over and look for a stall where locals eat. Honestly, the street food on Khao San Road is pretty poor quality compared to the rest of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you&#8217;ve had dinner, grab a cold Chang beer and join the crazy.

I could relax in the pool, the room was clean, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and it was $26.00 per night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I&#8217;m solo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/th\/bed-station-hostel-khaosan.en.html?aid=1197179&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">BED STATION Hostel Khaosan<\/a> is my favorite choice. It&#8217;s super easy to meet people and there is a great vibe. Plus, I am a sucker for pod-style dorms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a &#8220;normal&#8221; and non-drug or alcohol-fueled experience in Bangkok, I recommend staying in Silom, Siam, or Sukhumvit. These are more modern parts of the city and a lot more low-key.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"700\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"350\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5705\" src=\"https:\/\/cf.bstatic.com\/xdata\/images\/hotel\/max1280x900\/183842152.jpg?k=863f30a8491fc34fbfe163970b128f9379a1f2d330c635ff9aa562259edfc0db&#038;o=&#038;hp=1\" alt=\"bed station\" width=\"350\" height=\"234\" title=\"\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/th\/bed-station-hostel-khaosan.en.html?aid=1197179&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BED STATION Hostel<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A super social hostel with a pool.
