U tor yaowarat sits on Rama IV Road in Bangkok's Chinatown, in the Talat Noi area, where the old Yaowarat quarter is crowded with shops, food stalls and traders. It is a lively, dense neighbourhood with a strong Chinese character, and the streets around the hotel are full of shops and stalls.

Yaowarat Road, the main street of Chinatown, is 200 m from the hotel. Hua Lamphong Railway Station, 350 m away, is Bangkok's main railway station and has riverside piers close by. Wat Traimit, 100 m away, is a temple known for its large solid-gold Buddha statue. The Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha are about 2.7 km away, and they are reached by taxi.

A good day here could begin at Wat Traimit, continue along Yaowarat Road to the food stalls, and end with a walk to the riverside piers near Hua Lamphong. The Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha make a full afternoon, with the royal halls and temple grounds to see. Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi are both a longer trip away, so allow time for the journey from the airport. From this part of Bangkok, the old town, the river and the temples are all a short day trip apart.
