Found a few places when I stayed in Sukhumvit that all charged around 120-150 per kilo. Which I was glad to pay at the time. But compared to Chiang Mai, where it was 20-50 everywhere, it was high.

Definitely like to know if anywhere cheaper near Sukhumvit.

Washing.

First hand experience just this day - Soi 13 Suk, 200 meters up on the right hand side. No idea of the name but it is just past the Radisson Hotel.
8 kilos of washing cost 320baht washed, dryed and folded. Same day pick up.
No complaints from me - good service.

Sukhumvit Soi 18

About 100 meters down this soi is a massage place with a laundry in the back. I used this place and found it just fine.

Just a little past that is an older woman with a sewing machine. She is right on the sidewalk just before the Park Plaza.

Quite comfortable is "hi speed" laundry, which is used by default from hotels like the 4P for 'by weight laundry'. They charge around 80-100 baht with or without ironing. They get and deliver from and to your hotel in that area, so SGS, Westin and 4P are covered. I don't remember exactly what they charge for delivery... it might be somewhat around 60 baht.

They have a website, ah and i just see I was mistaken with the rates... on the website it's

60 baht / kg. (only wash)
90 baht / kg. (included pressing)
Regular 1 day. (next day)
Same day 50% Surcharge.
(..We keep service charge 15 baht..)

hmm, I always had ~480 baht for ~3,5 kgs.... doesn't make sense at all... if not the hotel was mingling into that...

anyway, I hope that helps, cheers

Used it about 3 years ago and it was ok. Not sure if it's still there, and I can also not remember services & timings offered or prices. Sorry.

This place still exists but only takes laundry per piece these days and not per kilo anymore.

I have used this place. They lost my clothes and then the owner started jumping up and down and had a tantrum. I never received my clothes back and even though I had just paid before I discovered that they lost my clothes, they wouldn't even return my money.

Also a place on Sukhumvit, between Soi 8 and Soi 10, just past the tailor shops and next to a small restaurant. Look for a podium at the base of a flight of stairs. Same deal - wash, dry, iron, fold, next day.

I've used this place, very reliable. The only problem for me is that like many of these places, they use so much fabric softener that my clothes come back feeling a bit greasy.

Never noticed that. The one thing that I don't like about this place is the tiny bits of colorful cloth they attach to the labels on your clothing - to keep it identified by customer so that you get it back. I'm relatively certain they do that because they throw everyone's clothes in together when they wash/dry.

I think the place on soi 18 washes each individual's clothing separately since they don't employ the bits of cloth method, though I don't know for certain.

Generally, I go to whichever is nearest my hotel.

If you pass a bar called "We R 4 U" (left side) you went by it!

Ask about laundries and sewing ladies from at one of the nearby shop, they might be able to recommend someone closer.

Good luck.

Still there (am posting this from there, in fact). 4-hour turnaround and they charge by laundry-load at 1.5 or 2 kg (B140 and B180, if memory serves). Not the cheapest but the advantage is that they don't mix clothes with others', which cuts way down on errors and eliminates the chance of getting smell transfers.
