Soi Phi Chai 2 is in Sathorn, the business district of central Bangkok, where office towers stand alongside older streets, shophouses and canal-side parks. The Saint Louis BTS station is 600 m from the property on the Silom line, which connects the area to the centre by skytrain. The streets nearby have a local character, with offices, food stalls and small cafes on the main roads.

Chong Nonsi Canal Park, a green space beside the canal, is 400 m away, and Sathon Pier on the Chao Phraya is 1.9 km away, with river boat connections. Across the river, Wat Arun, the riverside temple on the Thonburi bank, is 5.3 km away, and Jim Thompson House, a museum of Thai silk and art in a traditional house, is also close by. The BTS Silom line is the simplest way to reach the rest of the city, and the property offers a taxi service for the rest of the trip.

A day could begin at Jim Thompson House, then continue to Asiatique - The Riverfront, a riverside night market and shopping complex on the Chao Phraya, which is 3.2 km away. Wat Arun can be combined with the same route along the river, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market is a large weekend market for a full day out.
