Dipterocarp Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) If you live in a condo there are maids there who clean the common areas. Same will clean your room in the afternoon for extra charge. Edited March 30, 2017 by Dipterocarp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the laundry service do your clothes..or buy wrinkle free shirts and a load a week will do for twenty THB . Rig a clothesline...not hard. Use smaller towels and try not to fart liquid. Oh..bring Tide pods from the US..Good clothes are expensive here...the GFs can't be trusted with what would be 2000 THB shirts here. A three pack of Calvin Klein underwear is about 2800 THB here.

Greenside Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 On 3/29/2017 at 4:15 PM, Thailand said: If you are going to live in a condo chances are quite a few people will be employing part timers in the building. Put a note on the board or ask the staff, chances are you will find someone with reasonable recommendations from existing employers. This is by far and away the best solution. Cleaning a condo the size you mention is likely only a half day's work and you'll be hard put to find anyone reliable interested in coming just for your place. Two condos at three or four hundred each is a decent proposition for a cleaner and someone who has other customers in the building known to you has a more vested interest in doing a good job and staying honest and reliable. You may be tempted to pay more but tipping well on the appropriate holidays seems more appreciated for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerox Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 There is only one thing I want to say and maybe it makes you think. These people cleaning your condo's or houses - it makes a big difference for them if you pay 500 or 300 THB. So why not give them 500, it is still very little compared to other countries. Live and let live :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a washing machine, and a mop and cleaning supplies. Same same , lived here for 6 years and we always clean the room . A washing machine is easy to use these days and the clothes dry on the balcony within 2-3 hours. Using a mop on the floor is something everyone should have learned at home . It takes 10 minutes and good exercise too. Edited March 31, 2017 by balo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
