Taweesuk Residence — Balcony Rooms in Mahachai Where Samut Sakhon's Workers Stay by the Month
Ask around Mahachai for somewhere clean, quiet, with easy parking and both daily and monthly rates, and Taweesuk Residence comes up often — among factory workers near the industrial estates and anyone driving into Samut Sakhon on business. It's a 3-star residence block in the Na Di area with 70 rooms, every one of them with a private balcony. What guests mention again and again is the wide parking lot and clean rooms, plus a location that's a 5-minute drive from CentralPlaza Mahachai. It isn't a flashy stay, but it's spot-on for anyone who wants a tidy room at a light price.
Taweesuk Residence is a white-and-orange block in the Na Di area of Mueang Samut Sakhon, set a little way back from central Mahachai. The 70 rooms split between Standard Double (one large bed) and Standard Twin (two single beds), and every room has a private balcony, air conditioning, a refrigerator, an LCD TV and a work desk. The decor is plain — clean apartment-style rooms with white tile floors and maroon curtains — and several guests note the rooms feel larger than expected for this price bracket.
What gives it an edge in this part of town is that you can book by the night or by the month. Workers on long industrial-estate contracts or extended projects tend to take it monthly. Inside the building there's a coin laundry, a convenience store, a laundry service, a lift and keycard access, along with 24-hour security and CCTV. Several women travelling alone say they felt safe here — and that's a big part of why long-stay guests pick it over an ordinary apartment block.
The parking is the real selling point. The lot is wide and covered, easy to use even when the place is busy — not a given in Mahachai, where the streets are narrow and parking fills up fast. Guests driving in on business say repeatedly that parking here is never a gamble. The ground-floor lobby is open and simple, with white tile, a leather sofa to wait on and a small reception counter. Nothing fancy, but clean and well looked after.
One guest who drove in for several days of work in Samut Sakhon recalls easy parking, a clean room, and helpful front-desk staff — and felt it was good value for the price.
The location sits down a side road, in from central Mahachai. It's a 5-minute drive to CentralPlaza Mahachai, with the SF Cinema under a kilometre away. Wat Thep Norrarat and Wat Khlong Khru are both around a kilometre off, and Maha Chai Train Station is about 5.5 km out. Worth saying up front: this place suits people with a car. Without one, getting around the wider town is awkward — you'd be relying on motorbike taxis or Grab to come and go from the lane.
The Trip.com score sits at 8.4/10 from 33 reviews, with cleanliness and value drawing the most praise and the front-desk staff singled out as helpful and able to communicate in English. The thing to accept is that this is a residence, not a full hotel — no pool, no on-site restaurant, no breakfast. Some guests also flag that it's a fair distance from the area's main draws, like Amphawa floating market and the Maeklong railway market, both of which take a decent drive to reach.
On price, Standard rooms start around ฿720/night for daily stays, and the monthly rate works out much cheaper for a longer stay. At that level, a clean balcony room with parking is genuinely hard to find in Mahachai. You don't need to book months ahead the way you would for a resort, but rooms can fill quickly when the industrial estates have a busy period or there's an event in town — worth checking a week or two out.
The bottom line: Taweesuk Residence works best for people with a car, in Samut Sakhon for work or errands, who want a clean, quiet, secure room at a light price. It's not a base for sightseers who want to wander the town on foot or expect full hotel facilities. But if the brief is a comfortable night's sleep, easy parking, and a quick hop to CentralPlaza Mahachai, it fits — and it's good value for money.
