Dr. Cop Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Where can I get good inexpensive Laundry Service in Bangkok near Nana Plaza and in Pattaya.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NokTang Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 In Bangkok, just past Dynasty Inn, a beauty shop has a drop service laundry. The cloths are washed upstairs of same. These are the same people who used to have the shop in Nana Plaza itself. (Dynasty Inn accross the street from Nana Hotel, cannot miss it) Laundry a pain in the ass in Bangkok for some reason. Avoid Ambassador, a complete rip off service there. Some people have said there is a place on Soi 5 also, near FoodLand but I have never seen nor used it. Express service is available at the one above, otherwise, basically 24-36hour service. It is relatively inexpensive, by the item vs. Kilo which seems the norm in Thailand. In Pattaya, laundry drop's all over town. Would depend where you stay etc.. The one in refered in BKK is apx half what hotels charge, The ones in Pattaya are about 2/3 the price of the one in BKK. I know of one on Soi 7 in Pattaya, however, you would want one close to your hotel so reccomend you just poke around a bit. cheers Nok the Kook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Nok, I think the Nana has its own laundry...certainly they are a lot quicker and cheaper than other hotels in their class around Sukhumvit Soi 4. Never used the independent laundry services though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Yep, they definitely have and I used them a lot. They used to be very cheap, fast and reliable but I don't know about their current service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMAN Z28 Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 JUst go on a little walk about in BKK and you will come across a few laundry places. Should be significantly cheaper then any hotel. If you drop it off early in the morning, I have never had any problems getting it back the same day around 5 or 6 pm. In Pattaya, they are all over the place, should not be a problem.

check_bin_krap Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I try to avoid laundry in BKK if possible, I find it much cheaper outside. I have also found it easy to get ripped off, so make sure everything is clearly agreed upon. If not, you might get them insisting you agreed upon a BS 1 hour service charge or whatever. Cheers!

MooNoi Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 At risk of sounding like a tight arse... you could do what I do: Put all your clothes to be washed in the bath with detergent and water and get in and run up-and-down on them for 10 minutes. Gets them clean, free and good exercise too... especially when you've been sitting on your farang-arse all day in a bar. You'll need one of those portable clothes lines, (or a piece of string or cord) to hang your clothes in your room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good advice indeed! Thats not a tight arse at all - laundry bills from the hotel can be quite big. It would leave some money to tip the dek serves to keep jjsushi happy (see the other thread) :D Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMAN Z28 Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 I have been known to put a shirt in the bathroom sink in my hotel and wash it by hand. I have found it way more convient to go outside the hotel to find a laundry shop, spend a couple hundred baht at the most and have it done. Cleaned and ironed and folded too.

luckyfarang Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 Anyone know of a laundry in BKK that will pick up at your hotel and deliver back? In Chiangmai there is one excellent laundry: the American Laundry on Huai Kaew Rd, that will pick up and deliver once or twice a week at no extra charge, if I remember correctly. Even if you drop off or use one of their coin machines, it is by far the best in Thailand. They also do dry cleaning and don't trash your clothes, unlike even some big hotel laundries. Too bad there is none in BKK. At the Westin Chiangmai, it is 75B to launder a 50B T shirt from the night bazaar. Cheaper to just throw them away and wear a new one every day.
