OYO 618 At Khaosan Hostel is on Phra Sumen Road in the Khaosan area of Bangkok's old town, close to the Chao Phraya river and the Rattanakosin district of historic temples and palaces. In the evening the neighbourhood is busy with bars, street food and markets, and it appeals to travellers who want to see the historic sights on foot. Bangkok's old town is compact, and most of its main sights are a short distance from the hotel.

Khaosan Road is 500 m from the hotel, and Wat Bowon Niwet Ratchaworawihan is a short walk away. Wat Arun, the temple with a tall porcelain-decorated tower on the far side of the river, is 2.3 km away, and the Grand Palace is 1.6 km. The Sam Yot MRT station and Wang Burapha train station are both 1.5 km from the hotel, and Suvarnabhumi Airport is 28 km away.

A good day could begin with the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in the morning, then cross the river by ferry to Wat Arun, and end with a walk along Khaosan Road. Ferries on the river connect the old city with the temples on the far bank, and the evenings around Khaosan Road offer street food and bars within a short walk of the hotel.
