Gold Orchid Bangkok sits on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road in the Ratchada area of Bangkok. Vibhavadi Rangsit Road is a long arterial road that carries heavy traffic across the city. The district is more residential and commercial than the old city, where most of the famous temples are, and it gives a different picture of Bangkok from the tourist core.

The Saphan Khwai BTS station is 1.2 km away, and the Skytrain is the simplest way to reach other parts of the city. Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of Bangkok's best-known markets, is 1.5 km away, with clothing, food and plants sold across hundreds of stalls, and Chatuchak Flower Market is nearby too. The Grand Palace is 8.8 km away, and Suvarnabhumi Airport is 23.4 km from the hotel.

A good day could start early at Chatuchak, then continue by Skytrain to Jim Thompson House, a teak house museum with a silk collection near Silom. From there, the temples of the old city are a longer trip, reached by taxi. Khaosan Road, the backpacker street in Banglamphu, makes a good evening visit after the temples. Wat Arun, on the Chao Phraya river, is usually visited together with the Grand Palace in the old city.
