Location & what to see
Best Hostel Bangkok BHB stands on Samsen 2 Alley in Ban Phan Thom, a neighbourhood of narrow lanes in the Phra Nakhon district, the old core of Bangkok. The Khao San area around the hostel is the city's best-known backpacker quarter, where food stalls, guesthouses and small shops fill a few streets. Travellers who want to be close to the city's street life will find the setting lively and easy to explore.
The main sights are a short distance away: Khao San Road is 550 m from the hostel, Norrarat Market is 150 m away, and Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is 1.6 km away. The Grand Palace, which contains Wat Phra Kaew within its walls, is 1.8 km away, and Wat Arun on the far bank of the Chao Phraya is 2.5 km away. The historic Phra Sumen Fort sits on the river nearby, and both Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi airports are on the outskirts of the city.
