Just curious, why would you bring "real" designer brands with you when you are in a place that will probably assume you have cheap knockoffs from the local vendors anyway? Drycleaning is not cheap in Bangkok, most clothing is wash and squash.

(When you wear "real" expensive clothing the street vendors automatically raise the price of their stuff higher than the normal tourist mark up, figuring you can afford it!)

If the clothing is water washable you can do it your self and pay for the ironing. In Bangkok the only place I can recall right now that has self serve washers is on Sukhumvit Soi 8, not far from the main road. There are other "self-serve" places that someone else can help you with.

Google dry cleaning, Bangkok, and you will get some hits, maybe one is near your hotel. If you are in an expensive hotel they should know what to do. One dry cleaning place that I can think of is on Sukhumvit Soi 4, just past the "Entertainment Complex" on the left side.

Or, you can buy some cheap stuff to wear around Thailand and bring your dirty gear home when you leave.

Good point. When I go to Thailand I bring very little and buy whatever I need, okay, it's knacked in a couple of months, but who cares? When I have had something laundered, the service has always been great, and the cost about 25 baht a kg.

I never have anything drycleaned.

Well when you have meetings with clients across

thailand, wearing board shorts and a sleevless T-shirt doesnt go down quite well

HELP PLEASE! I need a GOOD laundry service that actually cleans clothes - ie removes the dirt and stains, and where they do not wash your clothes together with those of other people. I have tried the one on Soi 8 and tho they say they do not wash with others I caught them out (foreign clothes with mine when picked up). Also the cheapy in Suk rd near Soi 8 - washes with others and does not clean. Also after any tips on good laundry detergent in Bkk.

Don't know if it is too far for you, but a number of friends use the laundry service at Sukhumvit 22, which is in the small subsoi right after Washington Square. Friend of mine gets a package for 80 pieces for 1000 baht. This price might not be available to new customers but they seem to do a very good job.
