Aora Boutique Hotel Ekkamai sits on Ekkamai Road in the Khlong Tan Nuea district, in the Sukhumvit area of Bangkok. The neighbourhood mixes residential streets, offices and small shops, and the Khlong Tan train station is the closest transport link, 900 m away. It is also a practical base for sightseeing across the city, from the old town to the riverside, and Sukhumvit is one of the city's best-known districts.

Wat Phasi, a Buddhist temple with a pagoda, is 650 m from the hotel. Jim Thompson House, the former home of the American who helped revive Thai silk, is 6.7 km away. The Grand Palace, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in its grounds, is 10.6 km away, and Suvarnabhumi Airport is 18.2 km from the hotel.

A full day could start with Wat Phasi, the closest of these sights, and continue to the Chatuchak Weekend Market, which is open at weekends. The market is one of the largest in the city, with a wide choice of goods for a morning visit. An afternoon among the temples of the old city, where the Grand Palace is the best-known stop, makes a natural end to the day, with Jim Thompson House as a visit in between.
