Doctor Alien Hostel stands in the Si Kan area of Don Mueang, in the north of Bangkok, a district shaped by its airport and its railway lines. It is a residential setting of local streets, temples and everyday markets, a different atmosphere from the old city and the riverfront. The streets around the hostel have local shops and street vendors, so everyday errands are easy to manage close by.

The airport is the closest major landmark, 1.5 km away, while Suvarnabhumi Airport is 30.9 km away. Don Muang Railway Station is 750 m from the hostel, and Wat Don Muang, a pagoda, is a short walk from the building. Around the area, O2 Park and the open-air night market give a local feel, with food stalls and small shops along the neighbourhood streets.

A day in the city can start at the Chatuchak Weekend Market, 15.1 km away, which opens on weekends and sells food, clothing and crafts. The Grand Palace, 22.8 km away in the old city, houses the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and Wat Arun is a short distance away across the river. Bangkok's old city is also the place for a longer day out, with its temples and palaces spread along the river. The hostel offers a taxi service on site.
