"In the next phase, we will renovate Rambuttri and Tani roads to beautify the Banglamphu area," he said.. "On roads not frequented by vendors, we will plant more trees to offer shady spots for tourists," Sakoltee added.Khao San Road is expected to be energetic and buzzing with backpackers or visitors as in the good old days at the beginning of next year. Related agencies will also organise events to draw more visitors.
