The legendary backpacker strip.
Address
Talat Yot, Phra Nakhon
About
A 410m strip of bucket bars, tattoo parlors, BBQ scorpion vendors and pad-thai carts. Once the gateway to Southeast Asia in the 80s; now a street party most nights of the week.
Best time to visit
21:00–02:00
Tips
Most hawkers here overcharge tourists. Pad thai at Tip Top is reliably good. Avoid tuk-tuks offering "tours".
