NORN Canalside Bangkok Hotel is in Bangkok Noi, on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya river. This part of the city is shaped by canals, temples and everyday neighbourhood life, and it is quieter than the historic centre across the water. It suits visitors who want to see Bangkok beyond the main tourist streets, with the river close by and the old city on the far bank.

Public transport is close: the Southern Bus Terminal is 500 m away and the Bang Bamru SRT station is 1.5 km away. The Grand Palace is 4.1 km away and holds the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, while Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn on the river, is 4.6 km away. Closer to hand are the Wat Suwannakhiri pagoda, the Taling Chan Floating Market and the Taling Chan Pier, a ferry stop on the river, for travel by water.

A day could start at the Taling Chan Floating Market, then move on to the Grand Palace and Wat Arun. Each is a different kind of visit: a canal market, a royal palace complex and a riverside temple with a tall tiered tower, so the three together can fill a full day of sightseeing. Back at the hotel, the restaurant serves dinner and room service is available.
