I can't remember a time when Khao San Road wasn't on my radar, but I'm finally ready for us to go our separate ways.
The menu here is almost identical to the two other establishments founded by the same couple, but falls short on service and atmosphere. The restaurant felt chaotic with frantic energy. I kept being ushered to wait in different areas just to get in line to wait in line. After much confusion, my friend and I finally got seated at the bar, which was uncomfortably crammed. Food here tastes great, of course, but as do the dishes at Pai / Sukho Thai.
It breaks my heart to say this: Khao San Road, you've been good to me, but I won't be coming back.
