The Mix Bangkok - Silom sits in the Bang Rak district, on Silom Soi 19, one of the side lanes off Silom Road in the Silom area of central Bangkok. The streets around it mix offices, small shops and older buildings, and Bang Rak is one of the older quarters along the Chao Phraya River, with temples and churches close together. It works for guests who want a busy, central base.

The Surasak BTS Station is 350 m away on the Skytrain line, and Oriental Pier, a Chao Phraya River ferry pier, is 800 m away, so both the trains and the river boats are within easy walking reach. Jim Thompson House, the former home of the Thai silk pioneer, is 3.1 km away, and Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn on the west bank of the river, is 4.2 km away. Bang Rak Market, a neighbourhood market, is a short walk from the hotel.

A good day could begin with a river ferry from Oriental Pier, across to Wat Arun and then on to The Grand Palace, which is 4.4 km from the hotel and includes the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Back in Silom, the evening can be spent walking the streets around the hotel, where small shops and street food stalls line the lanes.
