The street that gives Bangkok much of its international reputation is really not the place it used to be. Having been somewhat sanitized during the past decade, there's now a night market down the road's center, selling everything from t-shirts with typical inscriptions to the latest movies on copied (pirated) DVDs. There are several restaurants and bars where you'd be happy to take your grandmother, but some hostess bars remain. Still a center of varied options.
