Kesorn Boutique Chachoengsao — a small, quiet stay in the heart of town that's clean, cheap and near Wat Sothon
If you're visiting Chachoengsao on a tight budget and want a small place that's clean, quiet and easy to park at right in the city — Kesorn Boutique Residence at 8 Riew is a name budget travellers keep running into. It's a small 2-star boutique stay of around 33 rooms on Sukprayun Road in the Na Mueang sub-district. The draw is clean, well-kept rooms, a quiet night, free parking, and rates from about ฿550/night — which is why it earns an 8.7 review score, solid for a wallet-friendly stay in town.
What earns Kesorn Boutique its good score in the budget bracket is cleanliness and quiet. Guests repeatedly say the rooms are cleaner than expected for the price, the beds are comfortable, and nights are quiet enough to sleep well with no road noise. For a tiny place of only about 33 rooms in the heart of Chachoengsao, that tidiness is the thing budget travellers reward most.
It sits on Sukprayun Road in the Na Mueang sub-district — only about 2 km from Wat Sothon Wararam, a few minutes by car — and within easy reach of the old town, the markets and the Bang Pakong riverside restaurants. The free on-site parking has space and suits anyone driving in. The 100-Year-Old Ban Mai Market is a short drive away, while Wat Saman Rattanaram and its giant Ganesha statue are about 15 minutes out.
Rooms come in a few types, from Standard doubles or twins at around 20 sqm to the cheapest knockdown-house rooms. Each room has air-conditioning, a flat-screen TV and an en-suite bathroom with a hot-water shower, and some have a small balcony. The shared areas include a restaurant, lounge, garden and terrace to sit out on, plus a laundry service. Wi-Fi is free in the public areas.
"Clean room, nice and quiet at night so I slept well, parking available, and just a few minutes' drive to pay respects at Wat Sothon — great value for the price."
To be straight about the weak points: some of the cheapest knockdown-house rooms have no window, which can feel stuffy and occasionally musty. A few guests mention barking dogs in the neighbourhood at night. Being a small place there's no lift, so upper-floor rooms mean stairs, and some items like a hairdryer may need to be requested. Food and service are simple, as you'd expect from a budget stay.
Overall Kesorn Boutique scores 8.7 out of 10 on Trip.com from around 60 reviews, which is good for a budget stay in Chachoengsao city. TripAdvisor ratings are more mixed, reflecting that your experience depends on the room you get. But measured on cleanliness, quiet, free parking, a quick drive to Wat Sothon, and rates from about ฿550 rising with season and room type towards ฿700, it does the job nicely for pilgrims, people passing through town, or anyone on errands on a tight budget — just choose a room with a window.
