JimmyTheMook Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 For those who hate having their clothes washed in cold water and then hung up so the neck gets all stretched out here is a very new and good solution. A European laundromat that is right on 3rd Road / Soi Lengkee - next to New York Pizza. Prices are reasonable and the washers have hot water options as well as actual gas fired dryers. Life's simple pleasures have arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moe666 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 We are getting these all over CM the problem with the dryer is that most people dry there cloths to hot this will damage the threads causing shorter life span of clothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCanada Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 It's a lifelong dilemma. Hang dry and get a stretched neck or dry quickly in a hot dryer and risk having the T-shirt shrink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cotton T shirts hold plenty of sweat so love having them disinfected properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would do this at home but those laundry places around Pattaya stretch out the neck on my T-shirts from size 16 to size 19 after a couple of washes.

johng Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I like the warning sign not to put dogs in the dryers..maybe they need a sign on the washers too + one warning not to put babies in either machine !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenchamp Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Most laundry's use dryers these days and do it all for you including the ironing for not much money, so why you would want to use one of these places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have really poor comprehension then. I have nothing to do with ownership of this place but just glad there is finally a western style laundromat with machines that have hot water and proper dryers. I've used plenty of the mom and pop drop off places @ 70pc for 500Baht - easy to do, but I'd rather have my clothes washed properly for a change. Carry on now....

No most hang your stuff out in the street or back of the shop - soaking wet - on hangers so the neck gets all stretched out. Good look for some , along with the Chang wife beater they wear.

SheungWan Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Fortunately I have a balcony, drying rack, ironing board and iron, but if there was a warm wash machine nearby I would use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpcoe Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I noticed the other day a coin laundry on Thappraya Road on the right-hand side as you head toward Jomtien. It was about a block before the Rita Resort, IIRC. I think the name was WASHCOIN, or some similar two-word reversed title. Looked like it had machines like in the OP, so assume it had hot wash and hot dry capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are proper industrial style laundromat washer and dryers . Yes there have been tons of the crapola type HomePro plastic tubs around fitted with coin slots - no question about that. Here is can access a real hot water wash and hot dryer. It's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
