What's On Tonight: Friday 2026-02-20
Tonight on Khao San Road: 1 events tonight, 10 places worth checking out. Here's what's worth your time.
Friday night on Khao San
Light listings on paper, heavy energy on the street—typical Friday. If you want bass over buckets, there’s one hip‑hop play to check before you drift into Rambuttri lane beers.
More Happening Tonight
- Super Sunday at Rocco Club (DJ hip‑hop) — Khao San Road
- When: Listing shows 1:30pm; event description says 8:30pm and “till late” (as posted today, Fri Feb 20). It’s billed as a weekly Sunday party, so confirm at the door tonight.
- Cover: Not listed; bring cash for a possible door.
- Why go: If you want hip‑hop instead of the usual EDM/top‑40 mix on Khao San, Rocco is the room to try. Compact floor, club lighting, and a format that sticks to high‑energy beats once the DJ is on.
- Good to know: The booth is visible from the entrance—easy to gauge the vibe before you commit.
Closing tip
Taxis crawl on Khao San after 10pm. Ask your driver to drop you on Chakrabongse Road by Sanam Luang, then walk five minutes in via Tanao Road—it’s quicker, and you’ll skip the touts stacked at the main arch.

Things to Do on Khao San Road: Complete Guide (2026)
Khao San Road is a 400-meter stretch of cracked pavement in Bangkok's Banglamphu district that has, over the past four decades, become the unofficial capital of backpacker Southeast Asia. It is loud. It smells like pad thai grease and cheap cologne and jasmine garlands all at once. A guy will try to sell you a suit. Another guy will try to sell you a ping pong show ticket. A woman will grab your arm and steer you toward a massage chair before you can say no.

And for good reason — these two neighborhoods represent fundamentally different ways to experience the city.
