Phenwaree Amphawa Resort is in Ban Prok, in the Mueang district of Samut Songkhram, a province in the central lowlands of Thailand where canals and wooden houses line the waterways. The area makes a slower-paced base than central Bangkok, and travellers who come for the canal towns and the markets will find the town easy to get around.

Amphawa Floating Market, where many vendors sell from boats along the canal, is 2.7 km from the hotel, and the Amphawa Thai Dessert Museum is nearby. King Rama II Memorial Park and the King Rama II Museum are also close, and Maeklong Railway Market, where a train runs between the stalls, is 3.5 km away. Wat Chong Lom, a pagoda, is 1.5 km away and makes a quiet stop for the morning. Van Station, a minibus stop, is also close to the hotel, and Mae Klong train station is 3.5 km away, so the railway and the market can be seen on the same trip.

A simple day could start at Wat Chong Lom, continue to the Amphawa Floating Market and the dessert museum, and finish back at the hotel's pool. With free parking at the hotel, a car makes it easy to reach the canal areas and the railway market in the same day.
