Royal Benja Hotel stands on Soi 5 off Sukhumvit Road, one of the city's main roads, in a busy district of shopping centres, massage shops and street-food stalls. Guests who want skytrain access and easy trips to the old city will find the district practical, with the daytime and evening life of a main Bangkok road close at hand.

The Nana BTS Station is 500 m away and Phloen Chit BTS Station a little further on, so the skytrain is a practical way to cross the city, and both stations serve the Sukhumvit Line that runs along the main road. Within a short ride are the Siam Paragon shopping centre, 2.1 km away, and Jim Thompson House, 2.9 km away, the former home of the American silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson, now a museum of traditional Thai houses.

A full day can start at the old city: Wat Phra Chetuphon, home of the reclining Buddha, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Grand Palace are all in the same part of the city, and the Grand Palace is 6.9 km away. Wat Arun stands on the Chao Phraya riverbank, and Khaosan Road, the backpacker street, is in the same part of the city.
