The Cosy Huay Kaew (formerly "Luxury Huay Kaew" on some booking platforms) is a 70-unit serviced apartment on Plubplueng Soi, set back from Huay Kaew Road on the Nimman/Santitham border. Studios only, 7 floors. Rated 9.3/10 on Booking.com from 49 reviews and 5/5 on TripAdvisor. The all-inclusive pricing is the main draw: water, WiFi, weekly cleaning, and pool/gym access are all included in the 14,000-15,000 THB rent. Every studio comes with a washing machine, 2 air conditioners, 2 TVs, microwave, fridge, electric kettle, standing fan, kitchenette, and balcony — confirmed by a TripAdvisor reviewer who stayed 2+ months. From Booking.com reviews: "Nice spacious apartment, away from the main Huay Kaew Road, so it was pretty quiet" and "The room was sparkly clean and has got everything you may need." The building has soundproof windows noted by one listing source.
“A solid all-inclusive deal: water, WiFi, weekly cleaning, washer in-unit, pool, and gym all included at 14-15K. Run by genuinely friendly women who care about the place — multiple reviewers single out the staff. Studios only at 35sqm so it's a solo traveler pick, not couples. The fridge is undersized (won't keep ice cream frozen) so don't plan on heavy meal prep. WiFi is adequate but not blazing — test it on arrival if video calls are your bread and butter. Some units face a farm next door which is actually a bonus: quiet, green, private. Booking.com rates it 9.3/10 from 49 reviews.”
Expat Tips
•Water included in rent eliminates surprise utility bills. Only electricity is charged separately
•Weekly cleaning maintains the "sparkly clean" standard reviewers praise. Pool cleaned regularly as well
•Washer in every unit with 2 ACs means you're fully self-contained — no coin laundry runs
•10-minute walk to Maya Mall (Rimping supermarket inside), under 10 minutes to Kad Suan Kaew (Tops supermarket), 20-30 min walk to Old City. Dozens of restaurants within 10-15 minutes on foot
•Floors 5-7 cost 15,000 THB (vs 14,000 for floors 2-4) and get better views. Some units face a farm next door — a TripAdvisor reviewer describes this as "beautiful, quiet, and private." Staff proactively warn about potential animal smells, but the reviewer who stayed 2+ months reported none
•From TripAdvisor: "The ladies who run the place are the best. They are genuinely friendly, welcoming, helpful, and responsive." The personal management style is consistently praised
•Free parking included. 24/7 CCTV security. Elevator access. Check-in 14:00-19:00 — coordinate late arrivals in advance
Gotchas
•Studios only at 35sqm — no upgrade to 1BR. Fine for solo travelers, tight for couples on extended stays
•The fridge is undersized — not full-size, and the freezer is tiny and unreliable. From a TripAdvisor reviewer: won't keep ice cream frozen, though ice cubes work. Not ideal for serious meal prep
•WiFi is included but described as "ok" on Booking.com — adequate, not fast. No speed test data found. If video calls are your livelihood, test on arrival before committing to a long stay
•Gym is basic: elliptical machines, treadmills, and bikes. Adequate for cardio, not for serious weightlifting
•Lower floors look into neighboring buildings rather than getting mountain or nature views. Pay the extra 1,000 THB/month for floors 5-7
•Electric rate at 7 THB/unit is a standard condo markup but not confirmed by any independent source for this specific building
