baankorrakang sits in the Siriraj area of Bangkok Noi, on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River, a district of riverside temples, ferry piers, local markets and the large Siriraj Hospital complex. Wang Lang Market and Phran Nok Market are both close by, and the lanes here show a side of Bangkok away from the main tourist streets.

Wat Rakhang Kositaram Woramahawihan, a temple on the riverside, is 250 m away, and Siriraj Hospital is nearby. Tha Wang Lang, the ferry pier at Wang Lang, is 400 m away, and Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, is 1.3 km away on the riverbank. The Siriraj Medical Museum is also nearby for visitors interested in the history of medicine, while Bang Khun Non MRT Station is 1.5 km away for the metro into the city.

A good day from here can start with a walk to Wat Arun, then a ferry across the Chao Phraya River to Wat Phra Chetuphon, also known as Wat Pho, and the Grand Palace with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Those who want a longer day can take the metro from Bang Khun Non toward the centre of town, and the local markets near the piers are a good place to finish the day.
