Soi Asoke, the lane known as Sukhumvit 21, runs off Sukhumvit Road in one of Bangkok's busiest districts, an area known for its offices, hotels and nightlife. The main road carries most of the traffic, while the side streets hold cafes, massage shops and small restaurants, and street-food stalls are common along the road. It works well for travellers who want to move easily between shopping, business and evenings out.

The Asok BTS station is 350 m away and Sukhumvit MRT station is 200 m away, so the Skytrain and the metro are the easiest way to get around. The BTS also takes you to Siam, with the Siam Paragon mall, and Jim Thompson House, a teak house museum of Thai silk and art, is 3.8 km from the hotel. The Siam Society, a cultural institution with a museum, is 100 m away, and Soi Cowboy, a lively lane of bars, is 300 m away.

A good day starts with the BTS to Siam for the malls, then a visit to Jim Thompson House. For a full day in the old city, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun on the Chao Phraya river are the classic pairing, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market is open at weekends.
