4 Monkeys Hotel is on Samsen Road in Phra Nakorn, the old quarter of Bangkok where many of the city's best-known temples and palaces stand. The streets around the hotel mix older shophouses with guesthouses, cafés and small shops, and the river piers are a short distance away. It is a practical area for anyone who wants to walk between sights and spend the evening in lively streets.

Khaosan Road, the backpacker street with its bars and street-food stalls, is 700 m from the hotel. The Grand Palace, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha inside its grounds, is 1.9 km away, and Wat Arun, on the opposite bank of the river, is 2.6 km away. The Sam Yot MRT station is also nearby.

A day could start with the temples in the old city and continue with a boat trip on the Chao Phraya river, which is an easy addition from the nearby piers. In the evening Khaosan Road has bars and food stalls, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market, 6.5 km away, is open at weekends. Don Mueang International Airport is 20 km from the hotel for those arriving by air, and Suvarnabhumi Airport is further out, at the other end of the city's airport network.
