ZEN Rooms Basic Phra Athit sits in the Riverside area of Bangkok, in the Banglamphu quarter of the old city, where the Chao Phraya river runs close by. The streets around are lined with guesthouses, small restaurants and cafés, and the old city's lively atmosphere is never far away. Old shophouses and busy lanes sit side by side here, giving the area a character that changes from morning to night. Much of the old city can be explored on foot from here, with river boats for longer stretches along the Chao Phraya.

Khaosan Road is 600 m away, the backpacker street best known for its bars and street-food stalls. The Grand Palace is 1.4 km away, and its grounds hold the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, one of the most revered temples in Thailand. Wat Arun, on the riverbank, is 2.1 km away, and its tall central prang is decorated with porcelain. Phra Arthit Pier, 100 m from the hotel, is a stop on the Chao Phraya river boats.

A full day can start at the Grand Palace, continue with Wat Phra Chetuphon, known as Wat Pho and home to a large reclining Buddha, and finish with a walk along Khaosan Road in the evening. River boats from the pier run along the Chao Phraya, a practical way to move between the temples.
