West Banglamphu

This area is between Khao San Road and the Chao Phraya River, surrounding Wat Chana Songkhram. There is some very good accommodation around here along with some bargain cafes and bars. The tree lined Soi Rambutri, while still quite lively, provides a milder atmosphere than nearby Khao San Rd and the riverside road of Phra Arthit is one of the most pleasant parts of the city, running from Thammasat University to Phra Sumen Park.

North Banglamphu

North Banglamphu runs from north of the canal up to the National Library area. It is split in two by Samsen Road, which becomes Chakraphong Road near Khao San Road. The pavements are stacked with a huge range of food and other stalls and there is a smattering of accommodation along here, mostly catering to the overflow from Khao San Road.
