Location & what to see
Mahachai Road runs through the Sumranrat area of Phra-Nakorn, the historic old city of Bangkok, close to the edge of Chinatown. The streets here mix shophouses, temples and a neighbourhood fresh market, so the area feels busy and lived-in. Visitors who want to explore the old city on foot will find the sights and the metro close together.
Several temples are nearby. Wat Ratchanatdaram Woravihara, with its iron-spired Loha Prasat, is 300 m away, and Wat Lak Muang is close by as well. The Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha are within 1.4 km, and Wat Arun stands on the riverbank 1.9 km away. Khaosan Road is a lively street of food stalls and bars for the evening. The Sam Yot MRT station is 600 m from the hostel and connects to the rest of Bangkok by metro.
A good day can start at the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, then move on to Wat Arun across the river and end on Khaosan Road. For a different pace, the Chatuchak Weekend Market, 7.1 km away, sells clothing, crafts and food, but it is best approached as a separate trip, planned for a weekend morning when the stalls are open.
What guests say
Travellers rate the service (9.3) and the cleanliness (8.9) most highly, and the location (8.6) is also well appreciated.
