TopBang Lamphu is an area approx 5kms West of Siam Centre.
The area is inland of Rattanakosin (Grand Palace) and extends to cover the area of Khao San Rd on the northern part of Rattanakosin, Bangkok's backpacker mecca.
Khaosan Road (spoken as Khao Sarn Road) (Thai: ถนนข้าวสาร) is a short street in central Bangkok, Thailand. It is located in the Banglamphu area of (Phra Nakhon district) about 1 km north of the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew in the tour zone of Rattanakosin.
"Khaosan" translates as "milled rice", a reminder that in former times the street was a major Bangkok rice market. In the last 20 years, however, Khaosan Road has developed into a world famous "backpacker ghetto". It offers cheap accommodation, ranging from 'mattress in a box' style hotels to reasonably priced 3-star hotels. In an essay on the backpacker culture of Khaosan.

Eating
So many worthy nominees, Bangkok (Thailand) is a champion of culinary taste delights.
- Bang Lamphu has many dining locations include a few stunning vantages points along the river, however none so popular
as "Khao San Rd, with three (3) zones, Busy - not so and quiet and they all boarder each other, refer map image link above.
- A major aspect of local culture is street food, if you need a few tips try Thai food $1 Menu, ideally you should have a local host or a few drinks to give you the confidence to try (try NOT die).
Rooftop
- Bang Lamphu does not boast any significant rooftop venues in terms of retail Hospitality, however you should visit Wat Saket / Golden Mount, which was once upon a time the highest point in Bangkok, here you will have 360 degree view
