The Locals Bangkok Old Town stands on Chao Fa Road in Chana Songkhram, in Bangkok's Old Town, the historic core of the city near the Chao Phraya river. This is the district of royal palaces, old temples and museums, and it turns busy after dark around Khaosan Road, 500 m away, with its bars, street-food stalls and guesthouses. The area suits visitors who want to reach the sights on foot rather than from a business district in the modern city.

The Grand Palace is 1.1 km away, and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha sits inside its walls. Wat Pho, with its reclining Buddha, is in the same quarter, and Wat Arun stands on the opposite bank of the river. The Bangkok National Museum, with its collection of Thai art and history, is also close by. Chatuchak Weekend Market, 7.5 km away, is a larger day out, with thousands of stalls open on weekends.

Getting around is simple for sightseeing: the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and the Bangkok National Museum are within a short distance of each other, and the rest of the city is reached by road or by boat across the river. Thonburi Station is 1.5 km away for trains, and Don Mueang International Airport, 20.9 km away, is the closest airport, with Suvarnabhumi Airport further out. A full day can start at the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, take a river boat to Wat Arun, and end back on Khaosan Road for dinner.
