JK Living Chachoengsao — A City-Centre Serviced Apartment with New, Clean Rooms near Wat Sothon and the Industrial Estates
If you're coming to Chachoengsao for a longer stay — working at one of the industrial estates, here for a few days of business, or just wanting a bigger room than a typical hotel at a friendly price — JK Living Hotel And Service Apartment is the name that tops the city's review scores. It's a serviced-apartment-cum-hotel that opened in 2016 with around 44 rooms on Prachasawan Road in Na Mueang. The draws are new, well-kept rooms, free parking, an on-site gym and free bicycles, and it takes both nightly and monthly stays. Rates start at about ฿806/night, which has earned it strong reviews among the city's smaller properties.
What lifts JK Living's review scores is how new and clean it feels, plus rooms that are roomier than the usual hotel. Because the building is a serviced apartment, the rooms are designed for longer stays, with space to spread out and a work desk. Guests repeatedly note that rooms are very clean and well-maintained, and that the staff are friendly and helpful. For a property in the hundreds-to-low-thousands baht range in a small city like Chachoengsao, that combination of freshness and space isn't easy to find.
It sits on Prachasawan Road in the Na Mueang sub-district of central Chachoengsao — about a 3-minute drive from Wat Sothon Wararam (under a kilometre away) — and it's within an easy loop of the market, restaurants and the Bang Pakong riverfront. What makes JK Living popular with working travellers is that it's an easy drive out to the industrial estates around Chachoengsao, so it's a go-to for people here for work or business over several nights. The property's parking is free and there's plenty of space, which suits anyone arriving by car.
Rooms come in a few types, from Standard Twin and Standard King up to Deluxe King. Each has air-con, a flat-screen TV, fridge, bottled water, a hairdryer and the basics, and some have a balcony. What sets it apart from a regular hotel are the serviced-apartment touches — an on-site gym, a restaurant, and free bicycles to ride around town. In the morning there's coffee, tea and bread in the common area (a full breakfast is available for an extra charge).
"New, very clean, and bigger than expected. The staff are friendly, parking is easy, and it's a quick drive to pay respects at Luang Por Sothon — great for a multi-night stay."
To be honest, there are a few things to set expectations on. Because it's a city serviced apartment, the vibe is practical rather than luxurious — there's no swimming pool and none of the riverside-resort scenery. The morning coffee and bread is simple, so if you want a proper breakfast you'll head into town. And as it sits on a city road, some rooms can catch a little street noise — light sleepers should ask for a room away from the road.
Overall, JK Living holds a 9.2 out of 10 on Trip.com from 42 reviews, which is high for a property in Chachoengsao, and other platforms echo the same praise for clean rooms and good service. Weigh up the freshness, the larger rooms, free parking, the in-house gym and bikes, a location with quick access to both Wat Sothon and the industrial estates, and rates from around ฿806 that climb with the season and room type — and it does the job of a base for working travellers, business trips or multi-night temple visits very neatly on a comfortable budget.
