Tha Phra is a quiet neighbourhood on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya, the western bank of the river, and it has the feel of an older Bangkok: narrow lanes, canals, wooden houses and temples rather than the crowds of the central shopping districts. The streets nearby are lined with local shops and food stalls, and the pace is slower than in the centre of the city, with daily life running along the lanes and the water.

Wat Tha Phra temple is 100 m away, and Tha Phra MRT station is 300 m from the house, linking the area with the rest of Bangkok. Wat Arun, with its tall spires rising over the river, is 2.1 km away, and the Grand Palace is 2.8 km away on the other side of the river. Khlong Bang Luang Floating Market, a market on a canal in Thonburi, is 1 km away. Its temples and canal houses make the Thonburi side a different world from the modern towers on the eastern bank.

A full day can start at Wat Arun, followed by a cross-river ferry to the Grand Palace side and a walk through the old city's temples. Back on the Thonburi side, the canal market makes a slower afternoon, and the canal paths are best explored on foot. The riverside is a good place to end the day, watching the boats pass.
