Get a weekly laundry pickup set up in Bangkok
Hi, I'm Pim. Someone wrote to me wanting their laundry off their plate for good: a pickup every week near the end of the week, and everything back washed, ironed and folded by Monday, without having to chase anyone each time.
Plenty of laundries in the city collect from condos, but they all work a little differently: different areas, different turnaround times, some charge by weight and some by the bag, and ironing is often priced separately. Working out which one fits a weekly routine takes a bit of digging.
What happened
- That evening: The request came in through our website, asking for a weekly pickup on Thursday or Friday and return on Monday.
- Then: I wrote back with a short list of laundries that collect from condos in central Bangkok, along with how each one charges and how fast they turn things around.
- I asked two things: which building or area they're in, so we could check who actually covers it, and roughly how much laundry a week and how much of it needs ironing.
- Next: we check which laundry covers their building and can return in time for Monday, then help set up the first pickup and the weekly schedule.
What they had to do: tell us when they wanted pickups and what needed doing.
What's included
- Regular wash, dry and fold for everyday clothes
- Ironing or pressing for shirts, trousers and dresses
- Bedding and towels
- Dry cleaning for suits and delicate pieces
- Pickup from your door or condo front desk, and return to the same place
- A weekly or twice-weekly schedule that fits your days
What to tell us
- Your building or area, so we can check who covers it
- Which days you'd like pickup and return
- Roughly how much laundry a week
- What needs ironing or special care
- Whether the front desk can hand over and receive the bag for you
What Ask Pim does
I can arrange it for you, or send you laundries we've checked so you can book them yourself.
If I arrange it, we:
- Find laundries that collect from your building and can keep to your days
- Compare how they charge and get you a clear price for your usual load
- Set up the first pickup and the weekly routine
- Follow up after the first round to make sure everything came back as expected
If you'd rather do it yourself, I'll send you a short list of laundries with their contact details and how to book.
Not in Thailand right now?
Say you're moving to Bangkok next month, or you travel a lot for work and your condo sits empty some weeks. Tell us your building and the routine you want, and we'll have a laundry lined up so the first pickup is sorted before you land, and you can pause it on the weeks you're away.
Questions people have asked me
"Do you have a weekly service?"
Yes. We set up a regular pickup with a laundry that covers your building, on the days that suit you, so it just happens each week.
"Can I get it back washed, ironed and folded?"
Yes. Ironing is usually an add-on, so we check how each laundry handles it and how much longer it takes before we suggest one.
