Soi Pradu lies in the Pom Prap area of Bangkok's Chinatown, the old merchant district around Yaowarat Road. The streets here mix shophouses, Chinese shrines and temples, and food stalls that come alive in the evening, so wandering on foot is the easiest way to see the neighbourhood. Yaowarat Road is the neighbourhood's main street, and its side lanes hold the shops and food stalls that give Chinatown its character. Quieter lanes branch off the main road, though traffic on Yaowarat Road can be heavy at busy times.

Hua Lamphong Railway Station is 400 m away, and Yaowarat Road is 200 m away. Wat Traimit Witthayaram Worawihan, the temple that houses a solid gold Buddha statue, is a short walk, and the Yaowarat Chinatown Heritage Center, a museum on the history of the district's Chinese community, is nearby. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun, the riverside temple with its tall prang, are 2.6 km and 2.7 km away.

A good day could begin with the temples and shrines around Yaowarat Road, followed by a visit to the Grand Palace area to see the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and an evening back in Chinatown among the street stalls on Yaowarat Road.
