Lhong Yaowarat Hostel sits on Phadung Dao Road in Samphanthawong District, the Chinatown quarter of Bangkok, where shrines, shophouses and food stalls line the streets around Yaowarat Road. The neighbourhood is busy from morning into the evening, and visitors walk between temples, markets and street stalls rather than staying in a quiet residential area, with the old Chinese shrines and shophouses of the district close at hand.

Yaowarat Road, the main street of Chinatown, is within easy walking distance, and Wat Mangkon MRT Station, 250 m from the hostel, connects to the rest of the city by subway. Wat Traimit Museum and the Yaowarat Chinatown Heritage Center are both a short walk away. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun, on the bank of the Chao Phraya River, are about 2.4 km away.

A good day here can start with a walk along Yaowarat Road, a visit to the temples of Samphanthawong and the Chinese heritage exhibits of the heritage center, and an afternoon at Wat Arun on the bank of the Chao Phraya River. Both airports are reached by road: Don Mueang International Airport is 21.6 km away and Suvarnabhumi Airport is 26.4 km away, so a taxi or another road transfer is the usual way to reach the hostel from either one.
