Places To Have Laundry Done

[sssteve]

Is there any problem for a tourist to find places to have laundry done outside of his or her hotel??

I'm not talking about a laundromat, as I don't plan on spending my time doing my laundry myself. I mean a place to take the laundry and have it done. We'll be in the north (CR & CM) Phuket, and BKK. I know that the hotels usually charge more than the cost of new clothes.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Plenty.. in towns and tourist areas, they'll be begging for your business and they iron it.

they do it by kilos - starting from 25 baht/kilo around Banglampoo guest houses

What's a Banglampoo guest house?

Banglampoo or Banglampu is an area in Bangkok, by the river and the Rattanakosin Island (the Old Town) with a lot of guest houses. Cheap

If you are staying in a hotel ask the chambermaid if she knows anyone who would do your laundry Iam sure she would know of someone at half the hotel price

K.Wifes laundry in Samut P used to charge 7bt to wash and iron a shirt but she recons with inflation it could have gone up to about 10 bt a piece....mai ko jai...(wot a way to run a business.. )

Its a Big condo block and most customers tend to be Korean,Japanese,Chinese ,Thai and the usual couple of renegate UK/US/EU expats.....funny ..never met an ANZAC there yet... who when I have spoken to them are happy with the service..plug-plug...

Needless to say..I do NOT get charged...
