Lemon Siam Hostel stands on Phetchaburi Road in Thung Phaya Thai, in the Siam area of central Bangkok. Siam is known for its large shopping malls, and the streets around the hostel are lined with small shops and food stalls. The Saen Saep canal runs close by, and the neighbourhood has a steady flow of local life alongside the tourist traffic.

The Ratchathewi BTS Skytrain station is 300 m away, and the Phaya Thai station is slightly further, so the BTS is the easiest way to reach other parts of the city. The Jim Thompson House, a museum made up of traditional Thai teak houses set around a garden, is about 550 m from the hostel, and Siam Paragon, one of the district's largest malls, is a short distance away. Across the river, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun are a longer trip, and the Masjid Daarul Aman mosque is very close.

A day could start at the Chatuchak Weekend Market, 5.4 km away, a large market with thousands of stalls that operates on weekends, or at Khaosan Road, 3.6 km away, a lively street of street food and backpacker crowds. The Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Arun together make a full day of temples and history along the river.
