tartempion Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Had a pick-up for 3 years and paid 100B in U&don thani 3 years ago. Then it went up to 120B and this year around Nong Han 40kms East from Udon they asked 140B. Changed car recently to something normal 4 doors. Happened to visit a friend at Khumpawapi one month ago and had car cleaned for 120B, decent price. Yesterday went to same shop Nong Han as before and they charged 160B, way over the top Told them in clear Thai language I would not come back, I also was their only customer at that moment. Is it more expensive to clean a regular car? What are Bangkok prices? And yeap, I know I can clean my car myself, but isn't that illegal and requiring a work permit?

Its more expensive to clean an SUV. Normally the put the prices on a billboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartman Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 You've obviously lived here to long and and slipped into the Thai custom of not asking how much something unpriced is first , bad habit . Just wear a twin eye wooly balaclava and wash it yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexLah Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 80 Baht for and out and inside clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetley Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 150 bht here in Phanomtuan, just north of Kanchanaburi. That is for a proper wash and wax and a pretty decent vacuum and clean inside. As a regular I get a card stamped and after 10 washes get another one free. The prices are signposted outside the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uros Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) 60, 80 or 100 baht in Bangkok. Depending if outside only or full vacuum and wipe inside as well. One could easily spend 250-350 at a fancier place with free wifi. There is a car wash on Thonglor 13 for rich kids with way too much disposable income to spend on their multi-million baht imports. Yearly membership starts at something like 20 to 30 grand. Edited September 17, 2008 by Uros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Think I pay just under 300Baht for a foam clean. They never really do a great job and the inside is always sticky where they dont wipe away that spray stuff properly. Every time I go there they hassle me to get a 2500Baht Teflon coating that apparently stops all the rain drops from marking the car and windows. They say i should have this because the car is new and black. The bloody thing needs washing every other day. This is in Korat at the Mall shopping center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Up country I pay 140 baht for either the truck or the car. They are higher than anyone else but they do a super job inside and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiebebe Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Go to ProServ garages attached to Shell service stations. For 250baht, they'll raise your car up on a hydraulic ramp and clean underneath (very nifty) then give the car a foamy-spray wash (includes under bonnet - they protect vital parts with plastic covers) and then vacuum and wipe inside.

torrenova Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Buriram is OTT at Bt280 or something daft like that (often with Bt50 off) at the BigC. Don't actually know anywhere else so just take it there once a week or so. Tell me if you know ! In Pattaya we have a place in Soi Khaotalo which is near and about Bt150/180. The best I found for the price was behind Expat Motors on Thappraya Road. About Bt150 including underneath and top ojob as well. Andy care care near North Pattaya road was rubbish and very eager to push the 10 or 20 was deals on you. Too quick and not done properly. All prices for a Isuzu 4 cab. If anyone does know a decent better price wash in Buriram please let me know. We're near the Surin Road going out of Buriram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
