The apartment is on Soi Sukhumvit 49 in the Thonglor area of Bangkok, a largely residential stretch of the Sukhumvit corridor. The Embassy of Sri Lanka and the American School of Bangkok's Sukhumvit campus are both close by, and quiet side streets run off the main road, while the busier Sukhumvit street life is only a short distance away.

Phrom Phong BTS station is 850 m away, and Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital is 150 m from the apartment, so the skytrain and a major hospital are both close at hand. Thong Lo station is a little further on, and the Sombat Permpoon Gallery and Benchasiri Park are close by too. Siam Paragon and Jim Thompson House can be reached from the skytrain, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market, 7.9 km away, is a large market that runs on weekends.

For the old city, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun are the classic day out, reached across the river from central Bangkok. Suvarnabhumi Airport is 19.3 km away, so allow extra time for the journey to or from the apartment, especially at busy hours. Khaosan Road, with its street life, is further still and makes a good evening out. Asiatique The Riverfront, on the Chao Phraya, is a good choice for a riverside dinner.
