Khao San Road in Bangkok vs Jalan Jaksa in Jakarta

Been to the Mekah of backpackers travellers in Khao San road Bangkok?

If you come to Khao San road Bangkok, you will feel not like in Asia. As anywhere you can find mostly "western --> bule bule" tourists surrounding. It's not a long road but very very lively, busy and low budget business areas. From the 100bath dormitory rate until a little bit expensive room located here.

The nites look never sleep in Khao San, the business still there.. the backpackers traveller seems get imsonia at Khao San. They are drinking, eating, dancing, singing, they are talking each others, sharing the information of their journeys, or doing some shoppings.

Padthai - fried noodles, vegetarian and non vegetarian selling along the street. It's quite favorite food, as it's served fresh and quick. The price start from 25Bath to 50Bath, depend on what you have inside. Another famous food is pancake.. banana pancake etc.. it's mostly easy and halal food for moslem to consumpt in this touristics areas. Fresh cutting fruits and juices also easily found around Khao San road.

Beer, whisky.. nothing to worried.. that's the heaven here for the alcoholics. They can enjoy the drinks and food from the many bars along the street. You can find also some attractions, street singers, acrobat doing by tourists and so on. Dr.Fish also available here.. massage, spa etc. what else? Well, plenty of streets vendors, selling from food, shoes until clothing.. and all the prices are reasonable eventhough not as cheap as in Cambodia but for the tourists who has base income on USD, Pounds, or Euro currency the price offered just like a nut.. "kacang bok.."

It's please my attention how come "Khao San" road become so lively live. I can't imagine million of dollars moving around in a day here. Suddenly I remembered Jaksa road in Jakarta.. hmmm.. very shy to compare with Khao San road. It is come into my mind also, How come "Jaksa road" significantly dead road to compare with this "Khao San" road.. hehehe..

I have made my own analysis about that..but let's see what is the bloggers comments especially about Khao San Road in Bangkok vs Jaksa road in Jakarta...

Hmmm I still shy to mention Jalan Jaksa.. but that's okay.. atleast we still have a little budget area to promote. Abruptly in my dream to make Jalan Jaksa a little bit happening like Jalan Khao San.. but sounds it's very big challenging and work to do.

I hope our tourists authorize department who already visited Bangkok can provided some changes for Jalan Jaksa.. Hopefully..

Is it in Europe ? Old Market in Seam Reap

The Asian European Connection (AEC)

One tourist from Italy, said that some areas around the Old Market looks like in Europe. They have well heritage old building from the colony era. The design of the open pub, bar and restorants as well as the shops atmosfer having connection with Asian European styles.

It's pretty clean the road side in Old market area. Beside it's a famous place like a Mekkah for the budget travellers from all over the world. The niter the more peoples around, mostly tourists who can be a king while travelling into the cheap country like cambodia. You can manage to stay in 1USD dormitory or 3 - 15USD rooms. Otherwise if you love more luxury stuffs also able to fullfill your dreams.

Along the small gangs path - corridors they make it clean and as a business venue as well. There you can find chairs of bar in clean open air, the nice decorations shops etc etc etc. Just look like in Europe the tourist commented, but with the asia style and theme.

The pub street always busy.. with tourists.. drink drank DRUNK.. :) or having dinners, talking with friends as well as singing and dancing... The nite longer at these kind of places. The party still continue up to 2-3 am. Old market also the food heaven.. so easy to find the food surrounding this location. You can eat from 1usd till maximum you can spend.. see.. much much cheaper compare to the beach of Sihanoukville area..

Well it's getting late already.. I'm starting sleepy.. Will finish my blog up to here first.. and tomorrow will write another blog.. I wish..
