BC guesthouse Si phraya sits on Charoen Krung Road in Bangrak, one of the older riverside districts of Bangkok, where shophouses, churches and small temples fill the streets between the Chao Phraya river and the city's business quarter. It is a useful base for travellers who want to explore the riverside and the old city rather than the shopping districts of Siam.

Si Phraya Pier is a short walk away, and riverboats along the Chao Phraya stop there. Wat Arun, with its tall prang on the Thonburi bank, is 3.1 km away, and the Grand Palace is 3.3 km away, both reachable by taxi or by crossing the river. Getting around by rail is straightforward: the Charoen Nakhon BTS station is 750 m away.

A day could start with the narrow lanes of Talat Noi, a neighbourhood of old shophouses and Chinese shrines, then continue to the Bangkokian Museum, which tells the story of the city's older communities. Don Mueang International Airport is 22.5 km away, and Suvarnabhumi Airport is 25.8 km away. Talat Noi and the Bangkokian Museum are both within a short walk of the guesthouse, so the morning and the afternoon can be spent in the same few streets.
