Dear Sunday Hometel Bangkok stands on Charoen Krung 30 in Bang Rak, one of the older riverside districts of central Bangkok. Charoen Krung Road, one of the city's oldest streets, is close by, and the area has long been home to churches, embassies and old trading houses, including the Embassy of Portugal nearby. It suits visitors who want to explore the riverside and the old quarters on foot or by boat.

Si Phraya Pier, 250 m away, is a stop for the Chao Phraya ferries that carry travellers up and down the river, and the Charoen Nakhon BTS station, 750 m away, connects to the Skytrain network. Across the river, Wat Arun, the temple with its tall prang decorated with porcelain, lies 3.3 km away, and the Grand Palace, the main royal complex in the old city, is 3.5 km away. Closer to the hotel, the Holy Rosary Church and the Bangkokian Museum make for a short walk through the neighbourhood.

A good day can start with a ferry from Si Phraya Pier across to Wat Arun, then continue by tuk-tuk to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, which sits beside it. Back in Bang Rak, the BTS offers a simple link to the rest of the city.
