Smile Home stands on Soi Lat Phrao 122 in Phlabphla, in the Bang Kapi district of northeast Bangkok. This is a residential part of the city rather than the main tourist streets, where local shops, a convenience store and an ATM are close by, and a ferry pier is nearby.

The Lat Phrao 101 and Mahat Thai MRT stations are both 1.1 km away, which links the area to the city's metro network. The Chatuchak Weekend Market is 8.8 km away, a large weekend market with clothing, food and crafts. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun, on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, are 14.4 km away and 14.8 km away, so the old city sights need a longer trip. Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is 16.2 km away.

A day could begin at the Chatuchak Weekend Market, then continue to the Jim Thompson House museum, which is set in traditional teak houses and tells the story of Thai silk. In the late afternoon the riverside temples of the old city, Wat Arun and the Grand Palace, make a good next stop. Back at the apartment, the MRT stations are nearby for the return journey, and the convenience store and ATM on the nearby streets cover everyday needs.
