Location & what to see
Chao Hostel sits on Rama 1 Road in the Siam district of central Bangkok, one of the busiest shopping and transport areas in the city. Department stores, street-food stalls and the BTS Skytrain connect the neighbourhood to the rest of Bangkok, and the streets stay busy into the evening. Khao San Road, the backpacker street near the old city, makes a lively contrast to the Siam shopping area.
The National Stadium BTS Station is 250 m away, and the Siam Paragon shopping centre is 850 m from the hostel. Nearby, the Jim Thompson House, the former home of silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson, shows Thai art and antiques. The Grand Palace, 3.9 km away, is the royal complex that houses the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, lies a little further on. For the airports, Suvarnabhumi is 24.9 km away and Don Mueang lies further north.
A good day here can start at the Jim Thompson House and continue to the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, which are reached by taxi or boat. On weekends, the Chatuchak Weekend Market is worth the trip north, and the evenings around Siam are busy with shoppers.
