Landromat in Pattaya in the soi Pothole area ?

[Baron Samedi]

Hi guys,

Looking for a good landromat (not laundry service) in the soi Pothole area between 2 and 3 road.

Let me know if you have anything that comes to mind.

Regards, gents ????

[petermik]

Walk up soi Pothole to 3rd road cross over to the 7/11 opposite walk approx. 25 metres down towards Pattaya tai and there is one a couple of doors away from the now closed Boxing Roo bar ????

Does it provide  an ironing  service? Does the OP know there  are dozens  of excellent laundry services provided on nearby every soi in Thailand.  Cheap and excellent  service

[KhunBENQ]

Soi Buakhao towards South Pattaya rd. just before Action Street.

"Coin Laundry". Quite new.

Easy 400m from Soi Chaiyaphoon with the Baht bus.

One of the many tiny little every day things that make living in Thailand  easy and simple- multiple  choices of laundry services with ironing at cheap price. No need  to hang around clamouring hot damp machinery mindlessly  killing time watching the stains of your past  rotate.  What a waste if time in  Pattaya of all places! I wish the OP would explain his motivation  for doing  his own laundry?

Perhaps he has nothing better to do? Like sit in a bar all day, or hang out in the A/C shopping malls like every other expat that lives in pattaya!

he can dump his clothes in the machine and do something else, no need to wait .

perhaps he is living on a fixed budget and wants to save some cash, while laundry is reasonable, it’s not what I would call cheap anymore.

I do my own laundry.......

Bought a machine 12 years ago and do my own ironing - used to do before I came here so why do I need to get someone else to do it. I have more time now than I did before and not as if it takes a lot of effort..............

Lots of options as you say if you don't want to do but perhaps be careful of overly generalising..........????

I walk a lot. It might sound weird but I always did. I just like the way you discover things that way. Problem with Thailand is that you glap baan in wet clothes every single time. Anyway, laundry services are relatively cheap and convenient when you don't clean your stuff all the time. I do. So I rather listen to music for an hour or watch a movie on my laptop while sitting in a landromat enjoying a cha manao.

 

As for ironing... ????????????????

Thanks, man. I appreciate the mental construction of me you came up with. The old dude with a beer belly, drifting through shopping malls and bars like a zombie... Charming really ????

 

Btw, every guy fitting that description that I have encountered has been exceptionally kind to me. The "expat loser" is completely underrated imo.

 

You are right about the fixed budget though. I've always been a cheap Charlie. Not that I don't have enough money to do my stuff but I think that a very efficient way of staying wealthy is to not spend your money when you don't have to because there is a cheaper alternative.

I think The subject of the thread is the whereabouts of a laundrette in soi Pothole not doing your own washing at home.

I can't think of worse waste  of time than sitting in a launderette or doing my own ironing especially in a service oriented  country where getting  such things  done is just a touch of relaxed luxury.

As for the whereabouts of launderette in Pattaya or doing  your laundry  at home. Why?

It's cheap to get  laundry done here but I guess some  people are too  broke or too  cheap Charlie to pay to have their laundry  done?

 

Ironing is tedious and remains  a women's job and as some places do excellent  cheap work with creases like razors why bother doing it oneself?

If someone has 'enough time' to do their own laundry  carrying their  dirty clothing  through  the streets  to a public  launderette, sort through their underwear in public, wait  for the  machines to go through  their cycles, use a HOT-AIR dryer - then walk home......I feel sorry for such  people. I get having a machine  at home and using it  occasionally  but ironing or  going  out to a laundrette like Otteri...no way...Unless of course they  offer a service wash and ironing!

He is asking for a laundromat. I see that as simply a shop with machines and you sit there watching your own stuff go round and round.

Hi @Sheryl what do you think about that? 555

 

Using a laundry is something you do when you first arrive, noobie, then you either have a machine in your condo or go to Otteri type places. Anyone who gets their socks and pants ironed needs help 555

Since there are laundromats everywhere in Pattaya these days, I don't think they cater to the OP only, but I know, everyone that doesn't agree with you or your ideas is wrong

I do my own laundry on soi bukhao before action street. Pretty simple, put washing in and go have breakfast across the road. Go back and put in dryer for 20 minutes. Washing done within an hour instead of waiting 3 days to get it back

Now why should anybody explain their personal motivation to do or not to do something to you????????. You do things differently - good for you ( and you, too, do not owe anybody an explanation for your choice(????

Just for info, there is a new laundromat on SSCC road, heading up towards the golf course, on the left side of the road, go through the lights at the X roads, just up a bit more, a huge one is there on the left.

Anyone still wearing socks needs help definitely... pants are an option when outside.

[SheungWan]

The real reason for not doing their own ironing is that they probably can't iron anyway.

Never found a laundry here that could iron worth a damn. Always have to redo it

If you provide the girl with hangers then they normally do an ok job.

 

For me it's a laundry over a laundromat. By the time you buy the washing soap, sit there and wait for your washing and drying cycles to finish and then iron the stuff and how much do you save?

Laundromat is something like 40THB for 9kg and then some.

Laundry is like 40THB for 2 t-shirts and a pair of pants.

The appeal of the laundromat seems pretty obvious to me.

True, you gotta wait for a bit but quiet frankly if you have internet, it's pretty easy to use your time managing your online stuff, watching a movie or giving your opinion on Aseannow.

I don't know. People are just different from one another I guess....

You forgot the drying cost or do you take it home wringing wet and hang it out yourself?

 

Almost sounds to me like you have an interest in this laundermat but i'm probably wrong about that lol
