Norn Yaowarat Hotel takes you right into the center of one of the best street food destinations in the world. When you step outside, you’re right in the Yaowarat Road night market – where, for minutes on end, legendary food stalls can be found selling everything from fresh seafood and grilled meats to Chinese noodle soups, dumplings, and unbelievable desserts. T&K Seafood and other hot spots are literally around the corner. It’s that convenient to some of the most famous food spots. That, right there, is what makes this hotel’s walkability kind of perfect for food explorers.
Outside of food, you’re in one of the most vibrant, rich cultural neighborhoods in the city. You can walk to the famous Temple of the Golden Buddha in 10 minutes; known as Wat Traimit, it contains what is said to be the world’s largest solid gold seated Buddha statue. Just a little walk further on is bustling, confusing Sampeng Market – a great place for wholesale bargains and getting lost. You must also see the iconic Chinatown Gate at Odeon Circle a 15-minute walk away. Only 10 minutes by foot is Wat Traimit, home to the “Temple of the Golden Buddha,” which boasts the world’s largest solid gold seated Buddha image. You can wander through the crazy, lively wholesale Sampeng Market just a little further from all this confusion. Odeon Circle also features the iconic Chinatown Gate, a great quick stop 15 minutes from where you’re staying.
Great for practical needs and onward travel, as the location is excellent. The Blue Line’s Wat Mangkon MRT (subway) station sits around a 5-10 minute walk to the hotel from there. This ultra-modern and efficient line transfers directly to the main Hua Lamphong railway station and seamlessly connects you to the rest of Bangkok’s transport network, which is very, very easy to get to other major sightseeing areas such as the Grand Palace or the Sukhumvit shopping malls. There are also countless 7-11’s and pharmacies literally on the doorsteps of the hotel.
