200 baht for a 5 minute drive in a tuk tuk...Normal?
Anywhere in Patong the price is 200 baht or should be which is expensive when you compare it to other places but a lot try and nail 3 or 400 even for a 2 minute journey

I tried to get a taxi that same spot the other night, i live in Patong 5 minutes away from there. The usual fair anywhere in Patong is 200 Baht. But this chap said 300 baht when i pointed out and my Thai wife also pointed out 200 baht is the norm he still refused. We shrugged our shoulders walked off flagged another tuk tuk down further down the road who was happy for the 200 baht, the first one drove up on a bike threatened the tuk tuk driver who was a girl not to take us, i said nothing walked off he followed us and said ok ok 200 baht taxi can do. I am like no way am i getting in a taxi with you and your mates after the aggression you showed to us originally and also the lady tuk tuk driver. Is there any wonder tourism in Phuket is at an all time low. When the taxi drivers who charge more than anywhere in Thailand are aggressive towards the tourists. I lived a few places in Thailand including Pattaya Koh Chang and Bangkok. I have never had an issue with anyone especially taxi drivers. Patong i have had a few get aggressive when i dont like there prices. Its not a case i get angry at them, i just usually say same come on man i live here give me the rate, im not a tourist usually that works, they charge me the 200 baht. Another time from bangla to my place 3 minutes away, same old 300 baht, im come on mate i'm local i live here you know its 200. Ok ok 200 baht, my friend at the time who is in a wheel chair, went to get in the tuk tuk, his chair is easy broken down takes seconds and he can use his arms to pull himself in. The guys like no no 300 baht if he going i was shocked to say the least and went found another one.
Good and bad every where but i see a lot more drivers who are aggressive towards tourists in Phuket than anywhere else

I gave you the website and their name. But apparently you also wanted me to Google them for you.
What ever gave you the impression i wanted you to google. If you read my original post it stated i could find nothing on the net and was reaching out for some recomendations, which Isac has kindly given me.

Serious question, did you consider using google?
ERRR yes of course the very first thing i did was google for commercial laundry phuket, hotel laundry phuket etc etc and i have or my staff have called every number that we can find, including phuket laundry who aren't interested we aint a big enough hotel. I then went on facebook tried on there with no results, before trying here with no results, finally jumped on the bike in desperation and scoured patong for a laundry company stumbled upon a van doing a delivery, got the number they rocking up tomorrow or so they say but been let down before so wont hold my breath. So good old google failed me miserably in this search cant believe its so hard to find a decent laundry company in phuket and no one can recommend one. Anyone thinking of a business open a laundry company and do some decent marketing you make a killing.

You probably need to get out of Patong. I assume you are in a rush. There's a reasonable place on Chaofa West in between the Lomprayah office and the underpass entrance. Can't remember the name. Peenang is also very close to there and they sell some hotel-standard bedlinen.
You can buy in bulk cheaper from Bangkok, even with delivery, but if you don't have time and only need a few items that's not a lot of use. If you're not in a particular rush PM me.
PS for duvets you can't beat Ikea for value!
i went there yesterday couldn't deliver

My experience is that if your existing staff like working for the company then they will spread the word amongst their friends.
It's a competitive industry. As soon as your staff get trained they will leave for the big hotels where they will get a cut of the service charge- unless you can find a way to retain them.
Yes i am finding that, but how much do the big hotels pay and how much can they earn extra with service charges, its been a nightmare trying keep staff i thought the pay was fine, we treat everyone ok, i have had many staff over the years in the UK many stayed with me for years, i still have a couple who been working for me for 8 years in england, but over here they say they want the job then dont turn up or they come for a few days and find something else or they have 2 jobs and are like zombies and are totally unreliable or they no work permit, which for obvious reasons dont want go down that road, we only the maid who stayed loyal and she says we good boss and we pay good so i am at a loss.
