Khaosan Road or Khao San Road Thai: ถนนข้าวสาร is a short 410 meter long street in central Bangkok, Thailand constructed in 1892 during the reign of Rama V. It is in the Banglamphu area of Phra Nakhon district about 1 kilometre 0.62 mi north of the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew. `Khaosan` translates as `milled rice`, a reminder that in former times the street was a major Bangkok rice market. In the last 20 years, however, Khaosan Road has developed into a world-famous `backpacker ghetto`. It offers cheap accommodation, ranging from `mattress in a box` style hotels to reasonably priced 3-star hotels. In an essay on the backpacker culture of Khaosan Road, Susan Orlean called it `the place to disappear`
