Frommer's Review
The nighttime stalls on Khao San Road cater to young travelers and as such, this is where you'll find the funkiest bits and bobs in town. From everything from hip-hop fashions and cool T-shirts, to silver wares or original artworks, this is your place. It's worth the trip for the atmosphere alone -- bass-thumping clubs, busy bars, and Internet cafes attract crowds of tattooed, pierced, and, yes, plain ordinary travelers, going or coming from all corners of Asia. The area just north of Khao San Road is a maze of small department stores, shops, and very affordable retail goods.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
