Location & what to see
Mangkon Hostel is on Song Wat Road in Samphanthawong, the Chinatown district of Bangkok, where narrow lanes of shophouses, Chinese temples and street food stalls run close to the Chao Phraya river. Many of the streets around it are old commercial lanes, busy and easy to explore on foot. Staying here puts you in the middle of the city's Chinese quarter, rather than in a quieter residential neighbourhood, with Chinese shrines and temples nearby.
Wat Mangkon, the Chinese temple, is close to Wat Mangkon MRT Station, which is 550 m from the hostel and gives metro access across the city. Sampeng Lane Market, a crowded lane of wholesale and retail stalls, is 300 m away, and Yaowarat Road, the main street of Chinatown, runs nearby and is busy with food stalls. Across the river, Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, is 1.9 km away.
A good day here can start with a walk through the Chinatown lanes to Wat Mangkon and Sampeng Lane, then a river crossing to Wat Arun in the afternoon, which keeps the walk and the boat trip within the same part of the city. The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew are further away and are reached by taxi or river boat, while Suvarnabhumi Airport is 26.9 km away.
What guests say
Travellers rate the location and the value for money most highly, at 9.1 each, and the cleanliness (8.9) also scores well.
