Bangkok Marriott Hotel The Surawongse is on Surawong Road in Si Phraya, in the Silom area of Bangkok. Silom is one of the city's main commercial districts, and the lanes around the hotel are lined with offices, tailors' shops, small shops and food stalls. The British Club and a Thai cooking school are nearby, and the hotel sits between the business streets and the Chao Phraya river.

Two BTS Skytrain stations, Saint Louis and Chong Nonsi, are 850 m away, both on the Silom Line, which links the hotel to the rest of the city. Jim Thompson House, a museum of traditional Thai teak houses, is 2.5 km away, and the Si Phraya Pier (Gate 1) ferry pier is 1 km away for boats along the river. Asiatique - The Riverfront is 3.3 km away and The Grand Palace 4.2 km.

A good day could begin at The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, then cross the river to Wat Arun and end at Asiatique - The Riverfront, a riverside shopping and dining complex. Chatuchak Weekend Market is a separate trip across the city, best saved for a weekend morning when the stalls are at their busiest.
