35 Bow Hotel is on Charan Sanit Wong Road in Thonburi, the district on the western bank of the Chao Phraya river. The historic centre of Bangkok lies across the water, with its royal palaces and temples, and the Thonburi side has temples of its own. It is a useful base for travellers who want to see both banks of the river.

The nearest transport is Bang Yi Khan MRT Station, 500 m from the hotel, and Thonburi Station is also nearby. Wat Arun, the temple with its tall, tiered prang, is 3.5 km away, and the Grand Palace, which houses the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is 2.9 km away across the river. Khaosan Road, the backpacker street lined with bars and guesthouses, is 2.4 km away.

Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of Bangkok's largest markets, is a longer trip across the city, and the Royal Barges National Museum is 1.4 km from the hotel. A good day could start with the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, then move on to the bars and street food of Khaosan Road in the evening. Because the hotel is on the Thonburi side, plan the crossings of the river for the Grand Palace and Khaosan Road.
