The Hab Hostel is on Soi Charoen Nakorn 39 in Klongsan, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya river, where a string of riverside piers, small parks and temples lines the water. The area mixes the older riverside neighbourhoods of the city with the Asiatique riverfront development. Walking routes run along the river between the piers and Asiatique.

Asiatique The Riverfront is 550 m away, with its waterfront shops and the Asiatique Sky ferris wheel close by. Wat Rajsingkorn Pier, 350 m away, is one of the piers for river boats. Wat Arun, the riverside temple with a tall central prang, is 4.1 km away, and The Grand Palace is 4.7 km away. The Krung Thon Buri BTS station, 1.3 km away, links the area to the Skytrain.

A day here could begin at one of the riverside piers and continue by boat to the temples of the old city, then return to the river for an evening walk along Asiatique. Boat trips along the river are a practical way to reach the old city, since the piers sit close to the hostel. Khaosan Road, with its bars and street food, is a further trip for a different kind of evening, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market is further still.
