Sathorn is one of Bangkok's main business districts, lined with office towers, with the Chao Phraya river close by and older shophouses and temples in the streets around it. The apartment stands next to Sathorn Church on North Sathorn Road, close to the office towers and the riverside. Its streets mix office buildings with older houses, so a walk here shows a different side of central Bangkok from the big shopping districts. The streets are busy during working hours, and the quieter lanes near the church and the old shrines give a calmer picture of the neighbourhood.

Saphan Taksin BTS station, 250 m away, gives skytrain access on the Silom line, and the Sathon Pier ferry landing, 400 m away, serves boats on the Chao Phraya. Wat Arun, on the Thonburi bank, is 4.1 km away, and the Grand Palace is 4.4 km away; both can be reached by taxi or river boat.

A day could start at Jim Thompson House, the teak residence of the American silk entrepreneur, before crossing the river to Wat Arun or the Grand Palace. In the evening, Asiatique - The Riverfront, a riverside night market and entertainment complex, is the option for dinner by the water.
