Lamphu Tree House Boutique Hotel is in Banglamphu, one of Bangkok's oldest neighbourhoods, where guesthouses, street-food stalls and small temples share narrow lanes close to the river. The area suits anyone who likes to walk between sights, with the busy backpacker strip of Khaosan Road close by and the older streets of the old city beyond it. Life here runs late into the evening, with bars and food stalls along the main lanes.

Khaosan Road is 600 m away, and the big sights of Rattanakosin island are a short taxi or tuk-tuk ride from the hotel. Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is 1.5 km away inside the Grand Palace grounds, which are 1.7 km from the hotel. Wat Phra Chetuphon, home to a huge reclining Buddha, is in the same area. Across the Chao Phraya, Wat Arun is 2.4 km away, and its tall prang is one of the best-known shapes on the river.

A good day here starts with the temples of Rattanakosin island, then continues with a boat ride on the Chao Phraya to Wat Arun, and ends with an evening on Khaosan Road, where the street food and bars stay busy. The Chatuchak Weekend Market, with its thousands of stalls, is a longer trip north and suits a weekend morning.
