Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok is on Rama I Road in the Siam district, a busy area of shopping malls, cinemas and museums that the BTS skytrain links to the rest of the city. Siam Paragon is 200 m away, a mall that holds Kidzania Bangkok, the Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World aquarium and the Paragon Cineplex, and the Siam BTS station is 300 m from the hotel, so the skytrain is an easy way to reach the rest of Bangkok.

The historic sights are a little further. The Grand Palace is 4.7 km away, with Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, inside its walls, and Wat Arun, the temple on the opposite bank of the Chao Phraya river, is 5 km away. Chatuchak Weekend Market, a well-known weekend market, is 5.9 km away. Closer to the hotel, Jim Thompson House is a teak home and museum built by the American silk entrepreneur, and Wat Pathum Wanaram is a Buddhist temple with a lotus pond, both close enough to walk to.

A day in the area could start at Jim Thompson House and the temple at Wat Pathum Wanaram, then move on to the shops and the aquarium at Siam Paragon. Sightseeing further afield, such as the Grand Palace, is best reached by taxi. In the evening, Asiatique The Riverfront, a riverside shopping and dining complex on the Chao Phraya, offers a different kind of night out.
