OYO 716 Bangkok Check Inn sits on Charoen Krung Road in Bang Rak, one of Bangkok's older neighbourhoods on the riverside. The streets mix shophouses with small temples, a mosque and a historic Catholic cathedral, and the Chao Phraya river and its piers are close by. It is a neighbourhood to explore on foot and by river, with the old city reachable from the hostel, and Bangrak Bazaar and Maison Des Arts are close by.

Bang Rak Market is next to the hostel, and Wat Suan Phlu and the Ban U Mosque are close by. The Saphan Taksin BTS Station, 250 m away, is on the Silom line, and Oriental Pier and Sathon Pier serve the Chao Phraya river boats. Wat Arun, 3.8 km away across the river, and the Grand Palace, 4.1 km away, are the main sights of the old city.

For a day out, combine the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, two of the best-known temples in Bangkok, and finish on Khaosan Road, 4.6 km from the hostel, which is a good finish for street food and bars. Back at the hostel, Bang Rak Market is a handy place to buy food for the day, and the riverside piers make it easy to plan a boat trip along the Chao Phraya before returning to the streets of Bang Rak in the evening.
