1. Start the day by visiting a famous temple, making merit as the locals do
There are many famous temples near Khao San Road, like Wat Chana Songkram, Wat Bowon, Wat Arun, and Wat Pho. Each temple is uniquely beautiful, with different back stories and attractions.

2. Sample various Thai street-snacks like crispy salted worms (and bugs), grilled fermented sausage, coconut dumplings, sweet and sour leaf wraps on Chakrabongse Road
Right at the end of Khao San Road is a market-style food street called Chakrabongse Road. The small portions and friendly prices allow you to try a little bit of everything, which is what you should do instead of filling up with sub-par Pad Thai on Khao San Road. Expect a burst of flavor, the key flavor varying with each dish. Try the slightly sour savory sausage, the sweet and milky coconut dumplings (crispy on the outside but melts in your mouth), salty deep fried silkworms, and Mieng Khum, a fresh, sweet, umami salad-style appetizer with herbs and roasted coconut flakes wrapped in betel leaves.
3. Visit the National Museum to absorb fascinating Thai art, history, and culture
A ten-minute walk from Khao San Road, the National Museum houses the largest collection of Thai art and antiquities in the country. The venue itself is gorgeous and well-maintained, unlike other museums in Thailand. Explore Thai archeology, art history, and cultural treasures while answering fascinating prehistory questions like “Where did the Thais come from?” This is a must-visit for those looking to learn more about Thailand while getting lost in another world.
