Capricorn Hostel Yaowarat is in the Samphanthawong district of Bangkok's Chinatown, on Yaowarat Road, the neighbourhood's main street. The area is dense and lively, with old shophouses, gold shops, small temples and street stalls sharing the same narrow lanes. In this older part of the city, most sights are reached on foot.

Within a few hundred metres are Wat Mongkhon Samakhom, a pagoda, and the Old Market. Wat Mangkon MRT Station is 450 m from the hostel and Khlong San BTS Station, on the Thonburi side of the river, is 900 m away, so the metro and Skytrain are both close by. The Grand Palace is 2.3 km away and Wat Arun is 2.2 km, both reachable by taxi. The Chao Phraya river is a short distance further on, and boats from its piers connect the old quarters with the rest of the city.

A good day starts with a walk through the temple lanes around the hostel, then the Chinese food market 400 m away, and an evening on Yaowarat Road, where food stalls line the street. For a longer day, the Grand Palace complex and Wat Arun, across the river from each other, make a full morning of sightseeing.
