Chaleena Princess Hotel is on Soi Ladprao 122 in the Bang Kapi district of Bangkok, an area of side lanes, local shops and housing, with Ramkhamhaeng University close by. The surroundings are local rather than touristy, so the city's best-known sights are reached by train or taxi rather than on foot.

Lat Phrao 101 MRT Station is 1.4 km away, and Saphan Mit Mahat Thai Pier is a short walk from the hotel. Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of Bangkok's largest weekend markets, is 9 km away, and Siam Paragon, a big shopping mall with an aquarium, is 9.8 km away. The Grand Palace, in the old city, is 14.4 km away, and Wat Arun on the Chao Phraya riverbank is worth seeing alongside it.

A good day could start at Chatuchak Weekend Market, then continue to Siam Paragon and the Jim Thompson House, a teak house museum set in a garden. A second day can focus on the old city, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Wat Arun and Asiatique - The Riverfront, a riverside area for shopping and dining. Getting between the Chatuchak area, the river and the old city usually means combining the MRT with taxis, since the distances are too long for walking.
