KSR has certaainly changed over the last 3-5 years. No longer is it the fortress of the dreadlocked, tribal tatooed, bongo playing and dope smoking farang backpackers.
Lots of yuppie Thais hang out there now, particulary the week end evenings. Howevr the accomodation is still crap.
Also, worth noting is that last 3 Songkrans there has been bag searches on KSR as could be a potential bombing target from extremists ie. Bali as many farangs throng the area.
Good point is quite a few P4P starting to frequent late at night, now that Nana "office"has been swamped by katoeys. Still worth a visit, my latest TGF loves it as all the young trendy Thais hang out there a lot.
Hope that was useful.

The list is not complete without the 10th commandment:
10. I shall cross the word "anti-perspirant" off my vocabulary list and make bathing a seasonal activity at best. 
I must say though that there are many decent folks among the backpackers and they are, in general, a harmless bunch. I just have nothing in common with them and neither do I want to - mingling with unwashed hippies is not why I come to Thailand. I have never visited Khao San Road and I am planning on keeping it that way in the foreseeable future.
Edit-in: haven't noticed Loung Steeb's post up until this point which is quite similar to mine.

First, this is not the only reason why I come; to some of us, Thailand is so much more than just pussy. Girls are the icing on the cake, but it's not the only reason - just another factor.
Second, I've never had a "$10 whore" while there, but okay.
Third, most of these "$10 whores" which you speak of have a far better hygiene and fashion sense than the majority of the Khao San crowd.
Finally, I'll take a $10 whore over a Khao San backpacker heifer any day.
So beat it.

Thailand, got to be one of the only places on earth where you find whoremongers with a superiority complex. I love it there.

You admit that you have never been there but you say the whores "have a far better hygiene and fashion sense than the majority of the Khao San crowd". How do you know? Are you psychic? Superhuman olifactory senses perhaps?
Not to worry. The more people that refuse to go there based on old outdated information the better.

KhaoSan is definitely a mix - I see plenty of stinky hippies with dreadlocks, and I see bars with waiters in clean white shirts that deliver my 20 baht note in coins - stuck deep in a special in the change folder, too.
It must be pretty common for people to count their change and say "what the f***?!" Because he knew exactly what the problem was, and showed me where the rest of my money was.
No tip after that.

" Thailand, got to be one of the only places on earth where you find whoremongers with a superiority complex. I love it there."
At no point did I ever say that I feel superior to the Khao San crowd; I merely said that I have nothing in common with them and there are far more interesting places in Bangkok than Khao San. A street full of cheap guesthouses and hippie farangs is not my type of hangout; others may find it more appealing. Up to you.
I am not sure why the "unwashed hippies" statement got your panties tied up in a bunch unless of course I've touched a nerve.

Every time I've been there recently, I've hardly noticed a 'hippie' to speak of, more like average young Westerners on a break from University.
To suggest they are unhygienic is just laughable, just as the joke that all the blokes in Nana Plaza have sandals, white socks, scruffy shorts and a huge beer gut covered by a Singha Beer Singlet.
Khaosan Road has the original Gullivers, several decent nightclubs, like most areas, high property prices etc have pushed the guest houses away. Well worth a night out in my book....at least once a month
