Merry V Guesthouse sits in Khaosan, in Bangkok's old city quarter of Banglamphu, where the streets around Khaosan Road are lined with guesthouses, cafés and small bars. The guesthouse is on Soi Chana Songkhram, and the area draws travellers who want to be near the old city's temples and palaces.

Khaosan Road is the lively street at the centre of the area, and Phra Athit Road, the riverside lane next to the guesthouse, has cafés and bars along the water. Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is 1.2 km away inside the Grand Palace grounds, and Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, stands 2.1 km away across the Chao Phraya river.

A day here can start at Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace, then cross the river to Wat Arun, and end back on Khaosan Road for an evening drink. The Chatuchak Weekend Market is further out, 7.2 km away, for those who want a larger market. Evenings on Khaosan Road are busy with street food stalls and live music bars, while the lanes towards the river are a calmer place for a walk after dark. Morning is a quieter time to see the temples, when the paths between the sights are less crowded and the light is good for photographs.
