Khao San Road, silk suits etc....

Despite the fact we were staying in luxury at Beth and Pete's place, we thought that no trip to Bangkok would be complete without a trip to the Khao San Road (Aka,the backpacker ghetto in Bangkok). In hindsight, I'm not sure why we thought this was a good idea....

The road itself is only a short strip, similar to any street you might find in Benidorm, complete with dodgy looking guesthouses, dozens of bars, 10 baht tuk-tuks and more offers of silk suits (not sure that a tailored silk suit would be the best attire for traipsing round Asia in 30 degree heat.... maybe they'd have more luck offering tailored shell-suits....).

Our trip to Khao San road lasted about three minutes.....
