Grass Suites Thonglor sits on Sukhumvit Soi 55, in the Thonglor district, one of the livelier parts of Bangkok's Sukhumvit corridor. The streets around it are known for their bars, cafes and restaurants, and the area mixes modern buildings with low-rise shophouses. Those who prefer a busy urban district to the old city will find it a practical choice, since the historic centre is a longer journey away.

Thong Lo BTS station is 1 km away, and the Skytrain is the simplest way to reach the rest of the city. Phrom Phong BTS station is 1.4 km away, so guests have a choice of two Skytrain stops. Angoon's Garden, a small park, is 650 m away, and The Strand Park is also close by. Siam Paragon is 5.4 km from the hotel, a large shopping centre in the Siam district, while the Jim Thompson House, a historic residence turned museum, is a little further on.

A day in the old city can take in the Grand Palace, about 10 km away, and Wat Arun on the bank of the Chao Phraya river. The two are in the same part of the city, so the trip can be combined with a visit to Wat Pho. In the evening, the Asiatique riverfront is a good place to finish, and Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the best-known markets in Bangkok, is the choice for a weekend morning.
