Pinklao sits on the Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya river, and the streets around the hotel are lined with local shops, food stalls and temples rather than with the tourist sights of the old city. The district has a residential feel, and the area is less touristy than the old city across the river, so you see more of local life at the markets.

Bang Yi Khan MRT station is 500 m away, and the Blue Line connects the area to the centre of the city. Within a few kilometres you find the National Museum of Royal Barges, where the royal barges used in ceremonial processions are kept, and the Grand Palace, which lies across the river at 3 km. Wat Pathommabut Itsararam, a temple 600 m from the hotel, is a quiet place to visit close by. Khaosan Road, with its backpacker bars and street food, lies 2.4 km away.

A full day can start at the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, then move on to Wat Arun by river ferry and end at a riverside restaurant. The Chatuchak Weekend Market, at 7.8 km, is the trip for a Saturday or Sunday morning when you want to shop for clothes, food and crafts.
