At no point did I ever say that I feel superior to the Khao San crowd;
Course you didn't sunshine. 
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.
If you've never been, you don't know f*** face. 
Umm, and as well as not having been there, you haven't actually read this thread either.
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.
 now now, you're gonna hurt my feelings. Although I wouldn't say I was a hippie, I probably look a bit more like the footy holligan type that tends to frequent pattaya if I had to be honest with myelf, oh well never mind, maybe you have more in common with some of the more genetically questionable collections you find in so many of the bars in the sukhumvit area, well you did say you were a bit ugly, so if it is where you feel more comfortable it's probably best you don't pay ko san a visit.
Anyway, as you say "up to you", doesn't bother me either way, enjoy Thailand and your whores (sorry culture) but remember you'll enjoy it a lot more if you leave your attitude at home.

Probably something along the lines of "fat old losers coming to Thailand to exploit local women".

Fat old slobs (also unwashed) who cannot get laid in their own countries, probably half of them are paedophiles, that sort of shit.
I listed what they consider to be the NEP dress code.
About as valid as the KSR stereotypes listed here.

I went to KSR for the first time last week. During the day, on the holiday Friday.
It looks a decent enough place... some half decent restaurants, a handful of bars and the usual internet cafes, tailors, travel agencies found in tourist areas, supplemented by the usual street stalls selling the usual crap that you get in every other market in SE Asia.
The best part was watching the people. A few KSR hippies who looked like they had arrived here in 1978, got stoned, and forgot how to go home. But - for the most part - they seemed like young middle class kids doing the 'let's rough it in Asia for six months, before daddy make us join the investment bank."
Dreadlocks that will soon be changed for a designer cut; linen smock to be traded for pin-stripe suit and crisp white tie; goatee beard to be traded in for the Schick FX treatment.
Good luck to them.

I understand where you're coming from with these statements, but don't assume they are ALL rich kids with trust funds and sports cars waiting for them back home
I've a friend who travelled this way for years, no backup plan, no trust fund
He now has a good job working here in LOS
some make their own good fortune
and who the hell wears "crisp white ties"??
I've NEVER owned a WHITE tie in my life, and I have a ton of them currently

Go again but in the evening mate. Preferably Fri or Sat. Go in a couple of the more upscale clubs and bars (one upstairs next to The Club). You will be pleasantly surprised. If you go to The Club (recommended) you will need to take your own girl. Make an evening of trying the better places (they will be obvious by the clientelle) and you will definitely want to return.

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
The average young westerner there is just trying to mimic grand old tales from the bygone southeast asia hippie era. Most of them go to Khao san and hang out with other westerners never really befriending a single thai person during their whole trip. Some of the so called "backpackers" are also massive hypocrites. They might turn their nose up at obvious sex tourists but some of them engage in the same thing at least once while they are here. During my trip to Chiang Mai I saw plenty of young farang in Spicy picking up obvious bargirls for a little p4p nooky.
Khao San is allright maybe once a year but once a month? Err..

I wholeheartedly agree, but when did ANYONE ever let hypocrisy get in the way of prejudice, stereotyping or any of the other crimes most of us are guilty of?
