Location & what to see
N5 Ratchawong Hostel is on Ratchawong Road in the Chakkrawat area of Bangkok, part of the old Chinatown quarter near the Chao Phraya river. The streets here are narrow and lined with shophouses, temples and older buildings rather than wide avenues, and the riverfront is a short walk away. It is a neighbourhood for people who like to be on foot.
The Rajchawongse Pier is 50 m away, and the Wat Mangkon MRT station, which links the area to the wider metro network, is 650 m. Across the river, Wat Arun is 1.8 km away, a temple with a tall spire that is visible from the water. The Grand Palace, home to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is 1.9 km away, and Khaosan Road, the lively backpacker street, is a short ride away.
A good day could start in the narrow shopping lanes of Sampeng Lane, then walk on to the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Chetuphon, with its reclining Buddha, before ending the evening by the river. The lanes around Sampeng are busy through the day, with small shops and street food stalls along the way, and the riverside piers are a quiet place to watch the boats on the Chao Phraya in the evening.
