Amphawa is a canal town in Samut Songkhram province, in central Thailand, known for its waterways and its floating markets. The hotel is on Samut Songkhram-Bangphae Road in the Mae Klong area, where the surroundings feel like a working Thai town rather than a resort district. Its canal-side walks make it an easy place to spend a day or two.

The Maeklong Railway Market, 1.8 km away, is a market set up along the track that is cleared when trains pass, and Mae Klong train station is also 1.8 km away. Wat Chong Lom, a pagoda temple, is 1.1 km from the hotel, and the Amphawa Floating Market, 3.8 km away, is one of the better-known canal markets in the area, with vendors selling from boats along the water.

A good day here starts at the Maeklong Railway Market and continues to Amphawa, where the boats on the canals are the main draw. Tha Kha Floating Market, 5.6 km away, offers another canal market for those who want to see more of the waterways, and boat rides along the canals are a common way to see the area. The canals and markets are close enough to combine in one day, with the railway market first.
