Khao San Road and the surrounding area (Soi Rumbuttri and Pra Atit Road) contains a rich and varied nightlife scene for anyone who dares to scratch beneath the surface and go deeper than the mainstream ‘plastic chairs, cheap Beer Chang, top 40 hits’ combination of Khao San’s main drag. When you tire of the blaring stereos competing to outdo each other and you’ve played one too many games of pool at Guilliver’s, follow our advice to find unique bars with each with their own style. There are an unbelievable range of places catering to all tastes but these are a few of our favourites to get you started and show you there are more sides to this opinion dividing location than it seems.
