Bangkok, Thailand

Khao San Road

A destination for independent travelers and backpackers — a carnival-like scene riddled with guest houses, street food, beer gardens, tattoo parlors, travel agencies, used bookstores, and fortune tellers. It is, in a word, wonderful, and a rare enduring gem in a part of the world that is modernizing faster than you could ever imagine.
