The Residence on Thonglor by UHG stands on Sukhumvit Soi 55 in the Thonglor area of eastern Bangkok, a district known for its restaurants, bars and cafés. Thong Lo BTS station is nearby, and the Skytrain runs along Sukhumvit Road towards Siam, one of the city's main shopping and business districts. The Commons, a complex of cafés and shops, is also nearby.

Within a few hundred metres are the Soi Thonglor ferry terminal, 450 m away, and Divana Divine Spa, a day spa. Further afield, Siam Paragon, a large shopping centre with a cinema and food court, is 5.4 km away, and Jim Thompson House, the former home of the American silk entrepreneur, is 6.2 km away. Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the biggest markets in the city, is 7.7 km away.

A full day could combine the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, the temple on the Chao Phraya riverbank, with an evening at Asiatique - The Riverfront, which is also on the river. Chatuchak Weekend Market trades on Saturdays and Sundays, so a weekend morning suits a visit to its stalls. Guests who want quieter time can use the hotel's library and sauna between trips, and a taxi or the Skytrain can take them back to the hotel in the evening.
