Amarin Hotel Rama 8 is in Thonburi, the district across the Chao Phraya River from the historic centre, in the Bang Yi Khan area off Arun Amarin Road. The neighbourhood is local and residential, with temples, small markets and side streets, so it suits visitors who want to see Bangkok beyond its busiest tourist streets.

The hotel is about 700 m from Bang Yi Khan MRT Station, which links the area to the rest of the city. Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, is 3.1 km away on the same bank of the river, and Khaosan Road is 1.7 km away. Phra Pin Klao Pier is 950 m from the hotel, while the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha lie across the river.

For a day out, start at Wat Arun and then cross the river to the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. The Chatuchak Weekend Market, 7.3 km away, is a large market that runs on weekends. Back in the evening, Khaosan Road, with its bars and street food, makes a lively end to the day. Wat Bang Yi Khan, a local temple with a pagoda, is also nearby, and the Thonburi riverside pier is a short way from the hotel.
