GN Luxury Hostel stands on Ratchaprarop Road in Pratunam, a busy commercial district in central Bangkok known for its wholesale clothing market and its many tailor shops. The streets around the hostel are lively with shoppers during the day, and the temples of the Old City are on the far bank of the Chao Phraya River.

The Airport Rail Link Ratchaprarop Station is 300 m away, on the line that runs between central Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi Airport. The Siam Paragon shopping centre is 1.4 km away, and Jim Thompson House, a museum of Thai silk set in traditional teak houses, is close by. The MBK Center, a large mall with hundreds of shops, is also nearby and is a convenient place to shop between visits to the sights.

A full day could start at the Grand Palace, 5.6 km away, and continue to Wat Arun, the riverside temple with a tall central tower. Khaosan Road, the backpacker street near the Old City, is a lively place to end the evening, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market, 4.7 km away, is one of Bangkok's largest markets, open at weekends. Combining these sights takes a little planning, as they are spread across the river.
