There were signs about half way along on the side saying welcome to our community below. I had often wondered what was down there but was a bit nervous.

I would have caught the train to Siam and then caught the #15 bus to Khao San Road - still cheap - less than a dollar. In saying that, I walked along Kaho San Road and Soi Rambutri last Thursday. So much is still closed, even some of the major hotels (Ibis Select) remain closed. Most street bars are shut as is the Soi featured in 'The Beach'.

To get to Siam would bring it over a dollar but it's an option, as there are many. Glad the ibis is closed still, they have no business opening amidst a backpacker area, regardless of the changing demographic. Old hotel fitted in well, Viengtai, despite it's roughness!

Useful intel for some. I do enjoy discovering tangents of Bangkok you excel in covering. Had the opportunity last April to get familiar with Bearing. I spent ten day quarantine at Cleff Hospitel for 10 nights and went back two weeks after to roam the hood. It was appealing and maybe you'll cover it one day. As far as Khao San, I never had I interest to venture there in past travels. It looked complicated getting there when I considered a time back. I'm obviously older now and have less interest. Not my scene but one day I might accept it is a right of passage if I got nothing going on Bangkok on next visit.

It’s kinda a pain to get to khao San from sukhumvit but I think it’s worth checking out at least once.

Alternatively to avoid the traffic, you can get off the train at Khlong Tan station. Get on the boat at the nearby pier westbound toward the city. Get off at the last pier (Panfa Leelard) and walk 15 minutes to Khao San Road.

Getting to a pier on the Khlong San Saep from Khlong Tan station takes a lot of walking and crossing roads. And the piers nearest there are on the opposite side of the canal so a lot of going around and walking down sois.

Time is money. Who wants to spend four hours+ to save $3.00. Get to Khao Sarn in about an hour. Here's what you do. Get on the air train to Makasarn. Get in a taxi to Khao Sarn. Finished.

Exactly, I'd just get a taxi all the way.
