Charoenkrung Road runs through Phranakorn, the historic core of Bangkok's old city, where temples, palaces and older shophouses sit close together. The area feels calmer than Khaosan Road, yet most of the main sights are a walk away. Khaosan Road is the best-known backpacker street in the city, with street food stalls, bars and guesthouses, and it is a different atmosphere from the temple district.

The Grand Palace complex, which holds the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is 750 m away, and Wat Phra Chetuphon, home to a large reclining Buddha, is 500 m away. Wat Arun, on the Chao Phraya river, is also nearby, and Khaosan Road is 1.3 km away. Wang Burapha train station is close by, and Don Mueang International Airport is 21.8 km away. Sanam Chai MRT station, nearby, links the old city to other parts of Bangkok by rail, which is handy for the rest of the city.

A good day here starts at Wat Phra Chetuphon, also known as Wat Pho, continues at the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and ends with street food on Khaosan Road in the evening. Wat Arun, with its tall central spire, is also worth adding to a day in the old city.
