Phra Athit Road runs along the Chao Phraya in the Khaosan area, a stretch of old Bangkok where low-rise guesthouses, small cafés and shophouses sit between the river and the temples of the old city. The guesthouse is on Soi Chanasongkhram, and Phra Arthit Pier is 100 m away. From the riverside you can watch the long-tail boats and ferries on the Chao Phraya, with the temples of Thonburi across the water.

Khaosan Road is 500 m away, a backpacker street lined with guesthouses, street-food stalls and bars. The Grand Palace is 1.4 km away, and Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, sits within its grounds. Wat Arun stands on the opposite bank of the Chao Phraya and can be reached by river boat, while the Bangkok National Museum is nearby. Chatuchak Weekend Market is farther across the city, so most visits to the old city stay on the river side and in the lanes around Khaosan.

The airports are farther out: Don Mueang International is 20.6 km away and Suvarnabhumi is 28.8 km away. A good day starts with the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, then continues by river boat to Wat Arun, with Khaosan Road in the evening for street food.
