Post by Dr Mike »

I cannot find a DRY CLEANERS. A reliable Thai friend who I asked told me that there are none in HH.

Sometime ago I was walking from Soi 80 towards the Post Office and there was a shop that did laundry and advertised Dry Cleaning.

It was on the PO side and about mid-way along, so I hope this helps

When I first arrived on these beautiful shores I searched diligently for a dry cleaner and found two that advertised the service, but ruined anything I gave them as they were not really dry cleaned. Since then, I've given up on any clothing that needs dry cleaning and only wear "wash 'n wear" clothing.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Heading North - just before the main traffic lights on LHS

Two piece suite THB 120

But don't expect express service - allow at least 4 days

About 3 shops down from our school in the Wongchomsin Building (Between Soi 63/1 and Soi 65 Phetkasem Road) going South, is a laundry that accept items for dry cleaning. Takes about 3 days. I think that the actual dry cleaning is done at Dusit Thani. I have been using for several years with no problem.

Going towards the Hilton between Soi Kanjanomai (sp?) and almost to Soi Bintabaht there is an opticians that also does dry cleaning (used to be clothes shop/ laundry/ dry cleaners). Have used them a few times, the last time a few months ago. Service ok and price reasonable.

FYI I just walked up to my local hotel and asked if they could clean my suit since they offered cleaning services to guests.

I came around 8:30 am and they offered for it to be done that night if I needed but I'm not in a rush so we settled on next day.

It may well end up in the washing machine, as that has been my experience in the past!!

I had trouble finding one when I came. I searched the forum for cleaners. All I found were letters saying--My wife took me to the cleaners. Not much help.

At the main traffic lights. On the SE side by the Municipal building, walk south as if going to Market Village. About the third shop on the right is a dry cleaners . Good, usually 48hr service and reasonable price.

Why is 'Dry Cleaning' called 'Dry Cleaning' when it's not Dry? Water is replaced by a solvent which is certainly not dry!!!

You are of course correct, but our friends at Wikipedia tell us:

Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a chemical solvent other than water. The solvent used is typically tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), which the industry calls "perc" or "PERC". It is used to clean delicate fabrics that cannot withstand the rough and tumble of a washing machine and clothes dryer; it can also eliminate labor-intensive hand washing.
