Soi Rambutri

The feel is almost like Khao San of yesteryear, before it shot to fame with the release of the Hollywood flick The Beach in 2000.

Fringing Soi Ram Butri’s stone-paved path are sidewalk café, restaurants, beer bars and guesthouses of all types, as well as a lineup of street stalls selling music CDs, used books, second-hand guitars, funky T-shirts, stir-fried noodles, som tam, and more. The soi runs from Phra Athit Road to Chakrapong Road, where you can continue on to Khao San.
