Khao San Road is an actual road in Bangkok that is packed with cheap bars and restaurants. The food here was really authentic, I felt as if I was eating delicious food in Bangkok.
Sadly, there was a gigantic live fly in my food, so I am taking away one star for that. It was HUGE and started walking all over my rice. I was so horrified and felt to disgusted to eat anymore of my pad kra krow. The waiter took that dish off the bill. One thing to note is that you can order your food based on different spiciness level. There is even an extra charge for the highest level of spice. You are also not allowed to return your food if its is too spicy. Therefore I would advice you to err on the side of caution.
For appetizers, I would recommend getting fresh rolls as well as the squash fritters. The squash fritters were seriously the bomb, they are shredded pieces of squash deep fried together. It was so unique and good. They also have coconut water as a beverage, unfortunately, it comes from a box, you will not a get a whole fresh coconut like you do in Thailand.
Khao San Road does not take reservations so make you might have to wait. We had a short wait, so we decided to check out graffiti alley!
