Along the river and near Khao San Road, this street is a laid-back version of the latter with a heavy mix of Thai university student culture. Thammasat University is a five-minute walk away and this picturesque street is the local place of leisure. Much of the one-block street is lined with little bars playing live music and restaurants serving up good food. At the north end, next to the remains of Phra Sumen Fort, is a park that was built during the reign of King Rama I in the late 1700s. It's full of activity during the day, but this all moves onto the street in the evening. Many of the buildings housing the restaurants and bars are over 100 years old.
