Solitaire Bangkok Sukhumvit 11 stands on Sukhumvit Road in the Klongtoey-Nua area of Wattana, a busy part of central Bangkok where hotels, office buildings and shops line the main road. The side lanes off Sukhumvit are lined with street-food stalls, massage shops and small cafes, and the area suits anyone who wants to be in the middle of the city's daily life rather than on its edge.

Nana BTS station is 550 m away on the Skytrain's Sukhumvit Line, and Phetchaburi MRT station is also nearby on the Blue Line, so trains connect the area with the rest of the city. Jim Thompson House, a museum of Thai art and silk, is 3.2 km away. The Grand Palace is 7.2 km away, and Wat Arun stands on the other bank of the Chao Phraya river. Suvarnabhumi Airport is 21.7 km away.

A full day could start at the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, then cross the river to Wat Arun before coming back across the city. The Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of Bangkok's largest markets, makes a separate morning out. Back on Sukhumvit, the evening can be spent wandering the side lanes, among the street food and the small shops.
