a lot !! thailand is not cheap !!

Indeed, you'd have to double that budget to cover laundry. It's not like most apartments have machines you can use for 20 baht.

Oh, do they? They don't in my building but its more upscale. My point is the same though, you are likely going to end up spending above 30k a month unless you are really one of those guys who is into spending six hours inside of a Wat and willing to hand wash your own clothing and willing to take 12 hour bus and train rides that feel like 120 hours.

Your building?!?

We've got washing machines in our house... and maids to run them!

Get a life banned!
