Dewan Bangkok Hotel stands on Tanee Road in the Khaosan area of old Bangkok, a neighbourhood of narrow lanes, guesthouses, temples and street-food stalls, where the backpacker crowd and the older quarters of the city sit side by side. It is a practical choice for travellers who want to see the historic sights on foot, and the main street is lively at night with street-food stalls.

Khaosan Road is 200 m away, the best-known street in the district. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), the royal temple inside the old city, is 1.2 km away, and the Grand Palace, the historic royal complex, is 1.4 km away, so both sights can be visited in one walk. Across the Chao Phraya river, Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, is reached by ferry. For longer trips, the Chatuchak Weekend Market is a considerable journey across the city, and Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is 28.3 km away.

A good day here starts with a walk from Khaosan Road to Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace, then a ferry across the river to Wat Arun. In the late afternoon, the walk back through the lanes around Khaosan gives a view of the everyday life of the old city, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market makes a full day out for those who want to shop.
