Location & what to see
New Petchburi Road runs through Pratunam, a busy part of Bangkok known for its garment markets and shopping streets. The hostel stands among shops and street stalls, with a convenience store and an ATM close by, so daily errands are simple. Pratunam is a commercial district rather than a quiet residential neighbourhood, and its streets are busy during the day.
Getting around is simple. Makkasan Train Station, on the Airport Rail Link, is 550 m away, and Chit Lom BTS Station, on the Sukhumvit skytrain line, is 600 m away, which runs to the Siam and Ratchaprasong shopping districts. Suvarnabhumi Airport is 23.1 km away and Don Mueang International Airport is 19.3 km away. Nearby sights include Siam Paragon, a large shopping centre on Rama I Road, and Jim Thompson House, a museum of traditional teak houses set around canal-side gardens.
For a day out, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun on the Chao Phraya riverbank are the classic temple visit from here, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of Bangkok's largest markets, makes a full day out on weekends. The riverside temples and the old town can be combined into one long day, starting with the Grand Palace and then heading down to the river for Wat Arun and the other temples along the Chao Phraya.
