Ravipha Residences is on Soi Sammakorn 2, off Prachaniwet 1 Road in Ladyao, a residential neighbourhood in the Chatuchak district of north Bangkok. The area has a local feel, with temples, parks and street markets close by, and it is a practical place from which to explore the north of the city.

The nearest rail stop is Wat Samian Nari SRT station, 500 m away, which takes its name from the temple in the neighbourhood. Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of Bangkok's best-known markets, is 4.5 km away. Don Mueang International Airport is 9.8 km away, while Suvarnabhumi Airport is 27 km away, and the Grand Palace is 12 km away on the river side of the city.

A good day could start at Chatuchak Weekend Market, which is busiest at weekends, and continue to the Jim Thompson House museum, a set of traditional Thai teak houses. For temples and the river, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun are the classic stops, and both are a longer trip across the city from the hotel. The Wat Samian Nari SRT station is the closest rail stop for getting around the north of the city, so it is worth a look at the route before you set out.
