After the bus dropped us at the Sai Tai Mai Bus Terminal (Southern Bus Terminal) of Bangkok, we took a local bus to Khao san road, where we had booked a room in BBHouse Phra Athit. We had reached way before the check-in time and, as expected, our room wasn't yet ready. So we kept our luggage in the "cloak room", freshened up, and went out for a walk. And this would end up being a rather long walk.
