I go to Thailand every year and when I stay in Bkk on Sukhumvit I always seem to spend about 5000 Baht/week on laundry. Hotel Laundry is ridiculous and the other places near the hotels seem to be high priced as well. When I go to Phuket I find places that do laundry by weight and it's VERY cheap but can't find any places like this in the Sukhumvit area. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks,

Jake

Well, I just got here on Wednesday. I lived here for 3 years and wanted to make sure all my friends still working on the island were ok. Well, as many of you have said "Life Goes On". People here seem to be carrying on as normal. Patong has even opened up on most of Bangla from what I hear and Tiger Disco is now up and running again. There's no way they'll put in the news the real numbers here as they can't afford to lose all the business here. It's pretty sad driving down the back streets and seeing the piles of sand filled clothes and shoes being cleaned up and sold out front on the streets. The tourists seem to think they are "Out of Business" sales and think they are helping get some money back into the island. They have no idea that they are buying other people's shoes, handbags, wallets, clothes etc. Also seeing all sorts of people swimming at the beaches again.

I've also heard that dates are a factor as some people apparently have the bad numbers in their passports, but got them when they actually went to the border.

How come the foreigners are being arrested for being conned?

Shouldn't it be the companies that are doing these that get put in jail?
