Location & what to see
Yoo Yen Pen Sook Hostel is in Chatuchak, a large district of north Bangkok on Phahonyothin Road, where residential streets, temples and markets sit side by side. It is a different Bangkok from the old centre by the river: the surroundings are a busy everyday neighbourhood of shops and food stalls rather than a sightseeing strip, and the area is served by both the BTS and the MRT.
Saphan Khwai BTS Station is 200 m away, with trains into the central shopping districts, and Kamphaeng Phet MRT Station is a short walk further. The Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest markets in the city and open mainly at weekends, is 400 m from the hostel. Nearby, Wat Phai Tan is a temple with a pagoda, the Sam Sen Nai Philatelic Museum is a stamp museum, and the Or Tor Kor fresh market is 300 m away.
A day can start at the weekend market, continue by BTS to the shopping centres around Siam, and finish with the Jim Thompson House, a museum in a former silk merchant's house. For the temples of the old city, the Grand Palace is 8.1 km away, and Don Mueang International Airport is 14.3 km.
