The Posh Phayathai By Benya is on Phaya Thai Road in Pratunam, a busy commercial district in central Bangkok known for its clothing markets. Its streets are lined with clothing stalls and wholesalers. The area sits next to the Phaya Thai district, and it is a practical place to stay if you plan to explore Bangkok by rail.

The Phaya Thai BTS station is 100 m away and the Airport Rail Link station is 150 m away, so both the Skytrain and the Airport Rail Link are close by, and the rail link runs to Suvarnabhumi Airport. Suan Pakkad Palace, a historic complex of traditional Thai houses, is 400 m from the property, and the Jim Thompson House museum, 950 m away, is the former home of the American silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson. The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Chetuphon, also known as Wat Pho, are in the old city, a longer journey from the hotel.

A day could begin at the Jim Thompson House museum and Suan Pakkad Palace, then continue to the Chatuchak Weekend Market, 5.1 km away, which is open at weekends and sells everything from clothing to plants and antiques. The Siam Paragon shopping centre, with its aquarium and cinemas, makes a good stop for the afternoon before you return to the hotel.
